Passed a porn shop on my way home tonight with a Roto Rooter truck parked out front and started giggling uncontrollably. Is this funny or am I just way too punchy? ---

I don’t think I would have made the connection. But then, I was shocked when we were cleaning our condo after evicting the tenants and we found a double-ended dildo. ---

> [@gabriela](#): > > I hope that’s all you smell. God no! I smell many things…like…flowers, peanut butter, freshly bathed puppies, pizza, and popcorn amongst other things! Unless you’re saying I smell. Then that’s wholly possible. ---

Yes, I think we can hereby declare that _Some Funny Shit_. Reminds me of the time (20 years ago) that I passed by a guy leaning against a street sign. The sign read “DIP”. I eventually had to pull over, I was giggling so hard. ---

I laughed, I cringed. Both seem valid to me. ---

What’s funny about it? Obviously, somebody needed his pipes cleaned. 😃 “You can guess what happens next.” “He fixes the plumbing?” “Don’t be fatuous, Jeffrey.” ---

It’s funny. I like to think it dovetails nicely with my experience in an NYC government building, where the men’s room had a sign on the door that said “Fire Hose Inside”. ---

The sign on the toilet door at McDonalds says ‘Please Pull.’ That gets me giggling every time.
