Sunday funnies




Those awful man buns are catching on everywhere.

Don't grow up too fast, buddy.





True story. An apprentice at the tattoo shop where #1 Son works was sent out to buy a couple of ice trays for the break-room refrigerator. He apparently was baffled by this request, but he did as he was told, returning after a while with ice trays - and a bag of ice. Guy had no idea about old-school ice-cube making.

Apprentice has brains, covers every possibility. Too bad his intelligence is to be used with tattoos, instead of manufacturing, agriculture, mining, transportation, transmission repair, plumbing...distillaring.

Too bad that was a fixed camera -- I'm curious as to what happened to the fellow who hung onto the umbrella!

I heard he ended up in Iranian airspace, and an over zealous missile commander brought him down in flames.

I was pretty curious, too, about where that guy came down. I laugh every time I look at that video. Just...Whoosh!...up, up and away!

Well yeah, you have to squeeze all those little cubes into the slots on the trays, right? A hammer helps. He was thinking that would be his afternoon task.

Paco said...

Bruce: That's exactly right; he thought you were supposed to jam the ice into the trays.

We joke about millennials, but... when I was a kid, if someone had told me to go the store and buy a bag of ice cubes, I would have thought they were pulling my leg.

"Why would you buy ice cubes, when you can just put water in ice cube trays and make your own?"

These days, the only time I drink anything with ice is when I go to a restaurant, so I don't even make my own ice.

re: ice cubes ... ...

Yep, it's amazing how quickly old school life tricks fade into oblivion. I actually startle people by using the can opener on my Swiss Army knife to, y'know, open cans.

Still, it boggles the mind that people don't connect freezer --> cools below 32 F --> water freezes below 32 F --> make my own ice.
