I had an ex gf that would run through every 4 way stop because "everyone else is stopping." I tried to explain why this is a horrible idea but I'm pretty sure she continued to disagree and only stopped when I was in the car. she was a blonde fwiw

I read the first page and thought that was kind of dumb.

By page 3 I couldn't breathe I was laughing so hard.

Also, I found this way funnier than I should have:

Q:How to become a greatest walrus?

A: I know the solution to your problem. I had this same problem as you a few years ago. It is simple really, all you have to do is follow a few steps: Make sure you have some towels nearby, as this might get a little messy. First, stick a pencil inside a strawberry and throw it at a wall. Then, take a lemon and put it on your forehead for 3 hours without moving. At this point you should start noticing some tusks forming. After that, you are going to want to grab one of your towels and wrap it around a squirrel with some whipped cream inside of it. Then, take a toaster and put your hand inside of it. Don't start it, because you could seriously hurt yourself, and we don't want that. Now, grab a rusty nail and step on it. Don't scream, you will have to start over. And we don't want that. We all want you to be "a greatest walrus". Don't worry, you will become a full walrus by next week. Have fun!

Alltimers.

It amazes me how many competent adults say this to the point I've just given up.

I had a chick ask me, "You're smart. What does perry meter mean?"

I said, "Wut?"

"Perry meter."

"Uh, how do you spell it?"

"P-E-R-I-M-E-T-E-R"

Ugh...

e taught HS algebra for the last few years. I am here to tell you that over 75% of current teens truly believe 911 was created expressly for the tribute to 9-11. It's mind bottling to me that each year I'm teaching kids that either weren't born yet or were too young to know it was going on. 


I know you did this on purpose.

Was this the class that Dr. Bruce King taught in the late 90's and early 2000's?

I had to teach someone how to double click. Wow, that was much harder than it should have been.


Another one is that polar bears don't hunt penguins.

I used to work at CCLA and found out that the lady that did pay roll was using a .5 multiplier instead of a 1.5 multiplier when calculating overtime pay. I must have explained it to her 10x and she kept telling me that multiplying 0.5 was the same thing as multiplying 1.5. I was about to blow when the Club director overhead me and set the lady straight.

I find it disturbing that you have to explain it.

I used to sell walking boots that had air pumps built in with a circular valve in the front on the shin area.

A gentleman argued with me when I told him to turn it clockwise. He said, "clockwise from your point of view or mine?" It took me a while to get him straight.

Not sure if it has been said yet, but

It is a TROT line, not a trout line

And I still get argued with because it is something that catch fish, and a trout is a fish

That we could keep a lot of jambalaya warm by putting it into a cleaned out ice chest. She thought the ice chest itself would make it cold
