Perhaps Blindly Following Directions Isn't the Best Option

This picture comes courtesy of my brother (click to enbiggen). He writes:

"Check this out. This is in a conference room in our new building. I thought you would find it amusing. The electrician installed the light sensor and thermostat into the white board. They said that's how it was on the drawing, so that's how they installed it. The electrician and general contractor are arguing about it now."

When the stupid follow the directions of the inept, magic happens. In the form of a What The Foto.

Punctuation Makes a Difference

Once again Grapril has come through for me by providing the subject of today's post.

I have little confidence you will be able to save "Wildlife Crush" if "Sour Apple Crush" and "Wild Cherry Crush" aren't even available any more (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_Crush). That particular soda would likely have an extremely limited appeal.

The second line concerns me even more. While I do have items that like to be cupped, those are the same items that I wish to never be disposed.

The Best Parking Job EVER!

There may be some readers who feel I over use the phrase "best ever" to describe the things I present here. Let me tell you, in this case, that is no exaggeration. I saw this while going to the restaurant in the background.

So you say to yourself "Self, maybe he is being unfair. There could well be another car hiding behind that SUV and this guy just couldn't get any further into the parking spot. A bad decision, sure, but not a WTFoto."

Well stop talking to yourself and feast your eyes on this. The coup de grâce:

Find the WTFoto

Let's play a little game I like to call "What Makes This a WTFoto?" For you regulars, this shouldn't be too difficult, but you may need to click to enbiggen.

If you need a hint, focus your attention on the top of the package. Anything look a little amiss?




If you still cannot find it, allow me to present a closeup:

RESEALABLE BAG!!!!!!

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, these are socks that come in a resealable bag. I do not know why one would ever need to reseal a package of athletic socks. I can only present two hypotheses: 1) not enough drawer space, so you intend to keep the socks in the bag forever and 2) to lock in that new sock freshness.

Ronald Reagan Was Gay?

I see this sign every time I go down to the 'Bird, but have never really paid much attention to it until recently. It sure looks to me that Ronald Reagan is being hugged by an elderly transvestite (click to enbiggen). I'm not sure that is the type of care I would want for an aging relative.

Of course the other possibility is that Mr. Reagan is having the Heimlich maneuver performed on him. Hoocha, hoocha, hoocha. Lobster. (Which, believe it or not, you can actually get on a t-shirt here.)

Missing Ferret

I found this posting on a bulletin board outside of a local gas station. As usual, I have several questions. 1) How much of a reward does one offer for a returned ferret? 2) How does said ferret get out of the house? 3) Do they actually believe the ferret will survive the a) cold temperatures we have had recently, b) the plethora of feral cats in the area and c) the traffic? As a nice bonus, please click to enbiggen and check out the business cards at the right edge of the picture. What exactly does a "birth whisperer" do?

Aftermarket Product

Keeping with the Jeep theme, this image come courtesy of got.river (click to enbiggen). Please note the lettering on the spare tire cover. It was described as "perhaps made of duct tape and not even done well for that." The letters are not straight and are slightly different sizes. And made of DUCT TAPE. I understand that Jeep owners (being one myself) are, in general, very proud of their vehicles but come on. If you can't afford an officially licensed product, just let it go. The fact that the vehicle is actually a Jeep should be enough to appease your ego.

Today Only!!!

I was rummaging though some old photos and rediscovered this one from our last trip to Mexico. Now that's a hell of a deal: 59,000,000 pesos for a used Jeep. Makes one want to put a pinkie to the side of one's mouth and say "59 MILLION pesos" (ala Dr. Evil).

The humor was only mildly blunted when we remembered that mil in Spanish is a thousand, not a million. Why let facts stand in the way of your good time?
