Silly Side of Life

You know we all live in silly and often bemusing world designed not only to amuse but to embarass us. Like the poor woman who walks into a shop and ask the butcher if he has a 12' pork sausage. You can use your own imagination to answer that question. We can also be pretty sure if the answer was yes he was  bragging.

Other silly examples that spring to mind are customers in a bar asking you if you have a toilet. Often I've had to stop myself replying 'No sir we just use the pot plant in the corner.' Other examples would be a guest walking into a hotel and asking if you have bedrooms or people asking if the empty seat next to you is taken.

There have also been times when i've been asked by panic striken passenger if the bus there on is going to where they want to go because they didn't look when they boarded. Temptation to say no has been hard to resist on many occasion.

Having had look around the wonderful world of the internet to find other examples I came across these little gem of silliness

A bold and inventive plan but is that taken the idea of body heat a little to far? However this plan will only work if the body havn't drowned first.

Its nice to know that social networking is not being restricted to us humans and that Facebook have a open policy on who can have an account. Although it would be interesting to read the status updates 'Orangutan is laughing at silly humans'
