When I read that, my screen was positioned so that I did not see the last line.
So it just ended ā€œwasn’t invented by a drunkā€

And I think it’s funnier that way

I wonder how many people understand the can-opener getting cats excited; are there any foods that aren’t in a pull-tab can anymore?

Yes, if you shop at bargain food stores, you will find lots of cans without pull tabs, often with larger volume compared to pull tabs cans, and lower price per ounce. (They also sell can openers at many of these stores :smiley:)

Got a good laugh from this one. He knows better than to even try.

I was still drinking back then. I have NO IDEA how I wasn’t at this one (other than being a few states away). Cheapskate owners only went with 10 ounce glasses though…

I can attest to those things being heavy and blunt. Back about 60 years ago now (da@# I’m old) I actually set pins in a bowling alley. Hard job but the money was actually pretty good at the time.

We would set pins for two adjacent lanes. Bowler #1 sent the pins flying and we jumped in the pit, sent the ball back and put the pins in the rack (where they would NOT come down on any remaining pins.)

We had one expert who was a monster. Big, heavy, and his idea of ā€˜finesse’ was to launch the ball as hard as he could and as fast as possible at the pins.

I had the unfortunate situation of one of his pins hitting the back of the rack (good thing) and ricocheting into my face. I hopped in the pit, sent the ball back, racked the pins and then headed to the bathroom with a trail of blood.

Broke ONLY one tooth off right at the gum line. Ended up with an old school partial partial – silver plate with a tooth glued to the pin. I wore it for a few years and eventually lost the tooth, stopped wearing it and decided to just live with a gap.

Not nearly as famous or rich (or good looking if that’s your thing) as this gapper…

I figure if it had hit me first instead of the rack I would have died on the spot.

Yep, always best when you’re able to hide the body by yourself. :wink:

Ordering a Pizza in 2024

CALLER: Is this Pizza Hut?

GOOGLE: No sir, it’s Google Pizza.

CALLER: I must have dialed a wrong number, sorry.

GOOGLE: No sir, Google bought Pizza Hut last month.

CALLER: OK. I would like to order a pizza.

GOOGLE: Do you want your usual, sir?

CALLER: My usual? You know me?

GOOGLE: According to our caller ID data sheet, the last 12 times you called you ordered an extra-large pizza with three cheeses, sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms and meatballs on a thick crust.

CALLER: Super! That’s what I’ll have.

GOOGLE: May I suggest that this time you order a pizza with ricotta, arugula, sun-dried tomatoes and olives on a whole wheat gluten-free thin crust?

CALLER: What? I don’t want a vegetarian pizza!

GOOGLE: Your cholesterol is not good, sir.

CALLER: How the hell do you know that?

GOOGLE: Well, we cross-referenced your home phone number with your medical records. We have the result of your blood tests for the last 7 years.

CALLER: Okay, but I do not want your rotten vegetarian pizza! I already take medication for my cholesterol.

GOOGLE: Excuse me sir, but you have not taken your medication regularly. According to our database, you purchased only a box of 30 cholesterol tablets once at CVS Pharmacy, 4 months ago.

CALLER: I bought more from another Pharmacy.

GOOGLE: That doesn’t show on your credit card statement.

CALLER: I paid in cash.

GOOGLE: But you did not withdraw enough cash according to your bank statement.

CALLER: I have other sources of cash.

GOOGLE: That doesn’t show on your latest tax returns, unless you bought them using an undeclared income source, which is against the law!

CALLER: WHAT THE HECK?

GOOGLE: I’m sorry sir, we use such information only with the sole intention of helping you.

CALLER: Enough already! I’m sick of Google, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and all the others. I’m going to an island without the internet, TV, where there is no phone service and no one to watch me or spy on me.

GOOGLE: I understand sir, but you need to renew your passport first. It expired 6 weeks ago…

Just for the sake of accuracy, the pizza recommendation should also include 2 paperclips and a Tidepod, cause AI is broken.

I’m thinking it wouldn’t be too hard to re-write this piece using AMAZON in place of GOOGLE.
