Childhood Obesity Is Becoming Too Accepted

Today's post comes from our newest correspondent, BeerGirl.  I don't think there's a need to enbiggen today,

This is just insensitive. On a positive note, with that many families, I'm sure there will be an excellent selection of large children to choose from.

Another Misquote

Sorry that posting has been less than consistent lately. It's like life wants things from me.  Anywho, today's contribution comes from field correspondent, The Sheriff.  Click the picture to enbiggen.

He writes:  Why does "Acceptable For Fan Support" need the quotations?  Is the ceiling fan trying to be sarcastic?

I personally think this label is citing another ceiling fan and wants to give it proper credit.  I'm sure the footnote is just really small.

Location, Location, Location

I think I've used that title a couple times.  Anywho, today we have another contribution from the ever-prolific Shu.  Click the picture to enbiggen.

Those employees who are reading this sign probably already washed their hands. Those employees who need to be told to wash their hands will probably never see this sign. Unless they peed on their hands.

A Nice Asian Word Salad (Croutons Extra)

My nephew ("The Nephew) bought a USB DVD drive from the internet and these are the "instructions" that came with it.  Please click to enbiggen.

We're going to do this one list style.

• We start off strong with a nice string of tangentially related words.  I'm not sure what a "starage" device is or how it will display "My Computer", but that's the least-wrong thing here. 
• I will need more guidance on how to "select 'pop-up' in the tray into the disc to read". 
• I do like the reminder to protect one's eyes of the face.
• Most computer devices should not be placed on the strong magnetic objects, no matter how close they are.
• "Unstable items"?  Emotionally?  Financially?  I need more information here.
• And finally, for that ladies, don't put this "on the vulnerable to squeeze place" if you want "narmal machine use".

I think that just about covers it.

You, Too, Can Turn Your Lawn Into A Gas Chamber

I saw this product while shopping for wholly unrelated home improvement items a couple weeks ago.  You definitely need to click that picture to enbiggen.

Seriously, I don't know where to begin here.  How about "Pressurized Fumes Find Rodents Fast!" like it's a rodent-seeking missile.  Or "Kills more than one at a time" which is a really positive spin on this indiscriminate approach. Or, worst of all, the underground scene in the lower left corner (which I will not provide a close-up).

On a positive note, you have an excellent option when you finally can no longer live with what you've done.

Men's Room And Grill

I participated in a fund-raiser trivia night a couple weeks ago.  On my first trip to the restroom, I saw this. Click the picture to enbiggen.

Now, I know that right-hand symbol indicates that it has a baby changing table.  But I cannot get over the fact of how much it looks like a grill.  Complete with red dot for the pilot light.

Screw It, Close Enough

Not so much here... or here...

Sarcastic Much?

Today's post is yet another from the fecund field correspondent, Shu.  Click to enbiggen.

Maybe it is a message of genuine appreciation for those who patronized this establishment. Or it might be a thinly veiled middle finger directed at those who didn't.

Excuse Me, Stewardess? I'd Like To Move.

On our recent vacation to Honduras, he was seated in an exit row of the airplane.  As he was dutifully reading the airplane safety card, he noticed one requirement that was, let's say, different from the rest.  Let's look at that third-from-last bullet: "sufficient...oral capacity".  Hmm, I've flown a fair amount and don't recall that ever being mentioned.  And I would think that would severely delay the deplaning process.  But I guess they do things differently in Central America.

Jesus Had Better Behave Himself

I apologize for the hiatus but I've had a lot going on lately.  I went on a tropical vacation, quit one job and started a new one.  Hopefully I'll get back on track.

Frankie and I took a trip last year during which we visited a botanical garden.  We saw this sign while there.  Click the picture to enbiggen.

"Stay OFF the Pools".  Off, it says.  If that word wasn't in all caps I might just let it slide.  But it says "off" and not "out of".  I assume the author of this sign is wanting visitors to not climb on the stone walls.  But that would have been easy to say: "Stay off walls".  Maybe it does mean to keep out of the water but that "OFF" really is pretty emphatic about what it wants.  So I am left with understanding that they to not want visitors to treat their pools like the Sea of Galilee.
