Has it really come to this?

Yesterday we drove into Dallas to the Lakewood area....I wanted to get some photos of one particular home I once saw there.  While in the area we stopped at the Whole Earth Provisioning Company, or as I call it, "the hippie store".  It has outdoor gear, shoes, clothes, etc, but the thing I like most about this store is it's book department.  They have titles you just don't see at a "normal" bookstore.  Like....



Has it really come to this?  Have we become so "civilized" we need a book to tell us how to answer nature's call?  Notice it's the Third Edition, like the author suddenly realized she got the sequence wrong or something.


Now this one actually piqued my interest.  Try as I might, rap makes no sense to me.  What are they saying?  Even if you can mute that infernal base and actually hear the words, it's like some weird jibberish.  

I started to buy it, but then decided it was cheaper to just keep doing what I've always done....turn it off.


This one was hilarious.  For example:

"In recent years, white people have loved giving their children two last names.  This is a direct result of white women thinking it's sexist and outdated to take their husband's name.  The only logical solution is to give the kid a split last name.  White people can't get enough of it!"  

"As this is a recent phenomenon, we have yet to see what happens when one split-named person marries another split-named person.  Does their kid end up with four last names?"  Well....?

Where do they come up with this stuff?  ;)

Where do they get this stuff?

Over this past weekend I saw several things that really got my attention.  There are funny, odd things everywhere if we'll just look for them.  This one had me absolutely ROFLMAO:



We were at The Whole Earth Provisioning Company (or as I call it, "The Hippie Store") when the cover of this book, F for Effort, More of the Very Best Totally Wrong Test Answers by Richard Benson caught my eye.  It had me rolling in the aisle.

(Everyone knows the correct answers are "Sam" and "Brenda".  Duh!  ;)

Then later I saw the message on the rear of this truck, which caused me to do a double-take.  In fact, I caught up with it in order to get this photo:


Look carefully.  It says "Emergency Ice"....for "restaurants, hotels, clubs, special events, and concrete".   What the....CONCRETE?  Huh?  

"I'll have a concrete on the rocks, please."

Finally, on the online edition of USA Today I saw this:

Police bust ends 'free sex after nine car washes'

Thank you Police!  The very idea, my wife making me wash her car 9....NINE!....times before she....  

(I'm all prunie after just 4 washes.  No way I'd make nine!)
