Humour Idiots - Fun Facts

Hello 911! Where's My Money & The Sauce!!!

August 18th 2008 10:30
telephone
Recently in Florida, USA, a 47 year old man by the name of Carlos Gutierrez was arrested after making false 911 to police because the casino's slot machines had 'stolen his money'.

He not only called 911 from the casino he was in, but also again from outside the casino and hotel.

While elsewhere in Florida around the same time, a Jacksonville man called 911 to complain that a Subway restaurant forgot to put the sauce on his spicy Italian sandwich!

Having been asked the other day whether we, as Australians, live in actual houses? (As opposed to what I don't know - tents perhaps???) I've decided to list some of the most common questions asked by visitors to Australia as were pointed out recently by one of our tourism websites.

Q: Does it ever get windy in Australia? I've never seen it rain on TV. How do your plants grow? (UK)

George W. Bush - Not the Only US President To Lose Control Of His Tongue

July 7th 2008 07:22
You probably thought george W. Bush was the only US president to make faux pas such as "You're free. And freedom is beautiful. And, you know, it'll take time to restore chaos and order—order out of chaos. But we will."

And of course my personal favourite,"Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB/GYN's aren't able to practice their love with women all across the country."

Solar Power - An Ideal Solution? Perhaps Not!

January 3rd 2008 09:59
In 2001, council officials from Nottingham, England, after observing how much money was saved in Mediterranean countries through the use of solar powered parking meters, decided that the idea was good enough to install back home. Thus, they ordered £1.1 million Pay-and-Display solar powered parking meters for their local council area.

However they overlooked one very important detail.

ISP Providers OR NON-Providers???

December 2nd 2007 09:47
It's nice to have internet access back again, although I must be quick - who knows how long it will actually last for!

Today you can quibble about whether or not I'm stating a fact or merely an observation, but it's pathetic when an internet service provider (ISP) not only cannot provide you the service you pay for, but then charges like a wounded bull for you to ring them and tell them their service isn't working and what on earth is wrong with it this time. Even more so, when they cannot actually tell you because as my dear husband pointed out, their head has no idea what their arse is doing. I won’t mention the company by NAME….

Ok, another story I once came across, I don't know if it's true or not, but if it did ever occur then hats off to the flight crew!

On a British Airways flight from Johannesburg, a middle-aged, well-off white South African lady has found herself sitting next to a black man. She called the cabin crew attendant over to complain about her seating.

One Cranky Airline Passenger

July 21st 2007 09:38
Apologies all for the blog hold up - we missed our flight connections the other day and have been sleeping in airports trying to get on standby for flights. So things hopefully will be back on track a little more now that we've finally made it home, although don't expect me to make much sense at the moment with all the jet-lag, not that I ever do much anyway.

Here's a little tidbit I came across a long time ago that I thought was kind of relevant for the situation, considering come of the behaviours we witnessed while attempting to get new flights booked.
