Friending Crackers on Facebook

This whole Facebook thing is starting to get out of hand. Really, crackers want to be your friend (click to enbiggen)? Now I understand that Facebook has all sorts of "fan" pages, but for crackers? Apparently Keebler has an entire nation on Facebook. And reading the the posts, you can determine for yourself the kind of people who would friend a snack.

PLEASE Spit

W of A&W sent this to me.

This little sign is in the bathroom here at work. Apparently they have had some problems with... hell, I don't know... people spitting in the trash can, perhaps... or on the floors? Why wouldn't someone spit in the sink or toilet anyway?

Anyway, I got a kick out of it. To me it almost seemed like they were begging people to spit in the toilet... like it's going to bring good luck to the company or something. "Please!! For the love of GOD, spit in our toilet!!!!"

Luv Box

Really? A sandwich container called a "Luv Box"? There is no way that double entendre wasn't intended. There are sooo many ways of misusing this.

"I'm can't wait to take my luv box out at lunch!"
"Sometimes I like to be surprised by what's in my luv box."
"I love eating out of my luv box."
"Sweet, there's a sausage in my luv box today!"
"Sometimes I use my luv box to get tacos."

I could continue like this for some time, but I think you get the idea.

*Attention Drivers*

Here is another post graciously contributed by Griff.
This is truck driver code for "Ha, Ha. Just kidding. You don't have to sign crap! Just drive the stupid truck".

As I pointed out in "Or Just Steal It", I do love me some misused quotation marks. I wonder if this sign is implying that the drivers are supposed to have a romantic relationship with the bill of lading and then use ASL to spell the word "freight".

Good Eating Too…

What we have here is a very interesting product. It is T.V. (Texas Variety) brand "bait shrimp." I’m not much of a fisherman so I can’t comment on the product itself. What I can do, however, is direct your attention to the upper left corner of the package. "Good Eating Too..."??? Now I understand that one crustacean is pretty much the same as another and that additional product benefits are all the rage these days, but it just seems odd. The icing on the cake is where I found it…

Brown, But Hard Working

Yet another contribution from Dr. "The Original Chip" Mac, esq. I may have to start paying him to be a freelance journalist for What The Foto...

So I'm "occupied" after lunch today, and there aren't any magazines to read, and I can't poo without reading something, so I grab the toilet paper role and start reading the wrapper. That isn't weird at all, right? I like that fact that it is environmentally safe for the home and office, but my attention is drawn to the inset picture on the right side, which appears to graphically depict the purpose of this product. In fairness, I think it is supposed to depict someone wiping up a spill on a counter, but it sure doesn't look that way. I'm pretty sure I can figure out how to use this product without a pictorial demonstration. And also, it is "green, but hard working." I understand the benefit to bragging about being environmentally sound, but I would avoid the use of the word "green" for this product. And how is it hard working. I'm the one doing the work.
