Job Application (Humor)

Image
This is an actual job application that a 17 year old boy submitted to McDonald's in Florida... and they hired him because he was so honest and funny! NAME: Greg Bulmash. SEX: Not yet. Still waiting for the right person. DESIRED POSITION: Company's President or Vice President. But seriously, whatever's available. If I was in a position to be picky, I wouldn't be applying here in the first place. DESIRED SALARY: $185,000 a year plus stock options and a Michael Ovitz style severance package. If that's not possible, make an offer and we can haggle. EDUCATION: Yes. LAST POSITION HELD: Target for middle management hostility. SALARY: Less than I'm worth.

Hotel Correspondence (Humor but supposedly a true story!)

Image
Attached is some correspondence which actually occurred between a  London  hotel's staff and one of its guests.  The London hotel involved  submitted this to the Sunday Times. WHAT TO DO WITH ALL THOSE "FREE" SOAPS WHEN TRAVELLING ****************************************************** Dear Maid, Please do not leave any more of those little bars of soap in my bathroom since I have brought my own bath-sized Dial.  Please remove the six unopened little bars from the shelf under the medicine chest and another three in the shower soap dish.  They are in my way.  Thank you, S. Berman ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Room 635, I am not your regular maid.  She will be back tomorrow, Thursday, from her day off.  I took the 3 hotel soaps out of the shower soap dish as you requested.  The 6 bars on your shelf I took out of your way and put on top ...

Cops with a Sense of Humor (Humor)

Image
Who says cops don't have a sense of humor? The following were taken off of actual police car videos around the country. "Relax, the handcuffs are tight because they're new. They'll stretch out after you wear them awhile." "Take your hands off the car, and I'll make your birth certificate a worthless document." "If you run, you'll only go to jail tired." "Can you run faster than 1,200 feet per second? In case you didn't know, that is the average speed of a 9 mm bullet fired from my gun." "So you don't know how fast you were going. I guess that means I can write anything I want on the ticket, huh?" "Yes, Sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don't think it will help. Oh ... did I mention that I am the shift supervisor?" "Warning! You want a warning? O.K., I'm warning you not to do that again or I'll give you another ticket." "The answer to this last quest...

Genius (Humor)

I f you ever feel a little bit stupid, just dig this up and read it again; you'll begin to think you're a genius. (On September 17, 1994, Alabama's Heather Whitestone was selected as Miss America 1995.)  Question: If you could live forever, would you and why? Answer: "I would not live forever, because we should not live forever, because if we were supposed to live forever, then we would live forever, but we cannot live forever, which is why I would not live forever,"     --Miss Alabama in the 1994 Miss US A contest. "Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can't help but cry. I mean I'd love to be skinny like that, but not with all those flies and death and stuff." --Mariah Carey "Smoking kills.

The geese

Image
My new friends...3/31/12 It's surprising that growing up on a farm and having lived a good share of my life rurally, that I never had the chance to watch any geese, except those honking-through over head. This year, in the last month, that changed with a pair of geese that decided they liked the field behind my house to feed. Like clockwork, they showed up twice daily, once about 8 a.m. and then again about 5 p.m. They always landed in the middle of the field...so I really had to push my camera to the limit to get photos of them. 3/31/12 3/31/12 3/31/12 3/31/12 It was really hard to catch them both in the same photo...they like to wander apart yet not too far from each other. 3/31/12 3/31/12 3/31/12 I have no idea which is which as far as the gender, but I have pretty much figured out the the one that 'talks' the most is likely the male.
