Shopping Woes

I wish I had the courage to do half of those ;) It sure would make the weekend shopping a lot more interesting ;P
Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

Well in the real world, you have malls that will ask you to leave for merely photographing your own kid (or spouse), which is a perfectly legal thing to do. So, trying to do one of the items mentioned in that list would not be courageous, it'd be silly and probably a tad foolish. I reckon we can all live vicariously through jokes like these though.

No, no - start a fight instead. Just put packets of condoms in other peoples trolley...

A cow orker and I went out for lunch once to what turned out to be a very busy and very short staffed restaurant. We were seated promptly and a waiter came and took our order within a short time. Ten minutes later and our food had not arrived, neither had an explanation for the delay. A further 10 minutes passed during which we had noticed that hardly any-one was being served. This was too much for my colleague, who suddenly clutched his throat, fell to the floor and started writhing about whilst croaking out, very loudly, "Food! Food! I must have food!" and other similar exclamations. We got served very soon after that, and long before folks who arrived before us. :)

many many years ago I damaged my finger badly. As in I cut it to the bone on the inside joint, to the point that it cut the tendon in half. Two hours later while still sitting in the ER(military base) I had not even been seen. So I made a bet with my buddy who gave me the ride, that I could get in the back within 10 minutes.. He took the bet. I loosened the makeshift field bandage that was on my finger so that blood would drip out, walked up to the nice white marble counter and rested my bloody hand on top of it to ask how much longer it would be. Within 5 minutes I was seated in a room with the doctor. spent the 50 bucks from the bet on Jack Daniels later that night..
Let's face it, after Monday and Tuesday, even the calendar says WTF! Be careful which toes you step on today, they might be connected to the foot that kicks your butt tomorrow. You can't scare me, I have children.

After the old man retired, his wife insisted that he accompany her on her trips to the Shopping Mall. Unfortunately, like most men, he found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunate, his wife is like most women - she loves to browse. Yesterday, his wife received the following letter from the local shopping complex: Dear Mrs. Cross, Over the past six months, your husband has caused quite a commotion in our store. We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against your husband, Mr. Cross, are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras: 1. June 15: He took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in other people's carts when they weren't looking. 2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals. 3. July 7: He made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women's restroom. 4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice, "Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away". This caused the employee to leave her assigned station and receive a reprimand from her Supervisor that in turn resulted with a union grievance, causing management to lose time and costing the company money. 5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&Ms on layaway. 6. August 14: Moved a "CAUTION - WET FLOOR" sign to a carpeted area. 7. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told the children shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department to which twenty children obliged. 8. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed,"Why can't you people just leave me alone?". EMTs were called. 9.. September 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose. 10. September 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were. 11. October 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the "Mission Impossible" theme. 12. October 6: In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna look' by using different sizes of funnels. 13. October 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled "PICK ME! PICK ME!" 14. October 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed a fetal position and screamed "OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!"; And last, but not least: 15. Octobe

Have you seen JackAss? There's a great prank in a hardware store that sells toilets and had several units on display. Potty humour. Gotta love it. :cool:
