Keep it Safe


I'm not even sure what to say about this.

Of all the things that NEED a lock and key, I never would have assumed that a paper towel dispenser would be one of them. What has happened, in the course of humanity, to REQUIRE a lock on a paper towel dispenser. 

I'm not sure if it is worse that someone thinks that there is a need to keep the paper towels safe...er (I say safer because really, they aren't safe at all. I could take every single towel if I wanted.) Or is it worse that there is a person out there that feels like they have been thwarted in their efforts to stockpile paper towels. It would seem that this human being is probably the laziest person in the world.

I find it funny that someone, somewhere, thinks that this is necessary.

I guess they were right when they said "it takes diff'rent strokes to move the world".

Hell hath frozen...


No, your eyes aren't playing tricks on you. I was greeted by this sign on my way to work today. $1.99 for a gallon of gas!! Who woulda thought it could happen?

I remember, 6 months ago, filling up my car for $48. I fill up my tank now and it's $22. I think I'll take my savings and go invest it. Then I thought, "is it wise to invest when the economy is in the crapper. I've already lost a bunch with my 401k". So I did what any responsible person would do, I stopped at this convenience store and spent my savings on a 32 ounce Dr. Pepper and a donut.

Mmmm...savings never tasted so good.
