I bought two Valentine candies today reduced way down. The checker rings them up and I pay $4. She looks at the reciept and says you saved $14.57 today, and she snerfs. You know the weird nasal laugh that sometimes happens when you don’t mean to laugh. I say “Yah, like I would have spent $16 on a box of candy, if it was full price.”
Any other just silly additions today?
Yes – just ten seconds ago. A dealer called up to have me look up the part number for a sight gauge to see if it was still available. It was, except in our AS/400 system it’s labeled as “Sight gage.”
Thus came the revelation that we sell sight gags.
I have laryngitis, the fine by product of a spectacular cold. My voice is completely gone to just a whisper. I emailed my mother last night and this morning to let her know, since my son is staying with her this weekend and I wanted to make sure he’s still doing okay.
She just called to see how I’m doing. :smack:
And I answered the phone. :smack:
(I’m not sure which of us is sillier!) 
I was looking through some old receipts last night and noticed that I had bought an item at the grocery store called “Create Your Past”. And soda. :dubious:
Then I realized that it was the “create your own pasta dish” meal I had gotten from their hot food section.
This didn’t happen today, but I remember one day my friends and I were wandering around in a dollar store (we were having a $1 gift exchange if I recall correctly.)
Anyways, there was a giant display of “FANCY ASSORTED COOKIES.”
Except, the way my friend was standing by the display, the box totally looked like it said “FANCY ASS COOKIES” !!! We were all like, “Wha…?” until he stepped away.
That still makes me laugh out loud to this day.
I have proof, with an independent witness, that my brother-in-law is dumber than I am.
We were troubleshooting my nephew’s POS Tercel, and I grabbed the plug wire and got quite a shock. So I was pretty dumb, right? :rolleyes:
He watched me do it, and then grabbed the wire himself. :smack:
I’m never gonna let him forget it.
Well it made me laugh out loud just now reading it, so there.
My favorite silly moment was when my friend and I got back into her old beat up Taurus after shopping. We both looked around the car and realized none of our stuff was in it. The cd wallet was missing, her little rearview mirror toy that was dangling, all the miscellaneous stuff was gone. It took us about 3 full minutes of panicking about being robbed before we realized we were sitting in someone else’s car.
We quickly got out and scooted a few spots down to where her REAL car was. Stupid doppleganger empty car.
My father is a demon coupon-cutter and since CT has double-coupon laws, they often triple coupons to compete. When he lived there, he would often pay maybe 20% of the list value of the groceries he was getting. Once he got a “Nice shopping” from one of the cashiers.
This incident is my biggest shame because I don’t often have these kind of silly moments.
Lunchtime at school. I bought a fresh Vietnamese Spring Roll from the shops. It was wrapped in thin cellophane plastic. I ate it. And felt sick. I don’t know what went wrong there but it hurt that afternoon.
I had a good one last night. I’d gotten out of bed to check something on the computer and it’s important to note that I sleep only in underpants. I heard a noise in the garage so I grabbed the enormous Maglite off the desk and headed into the garage. Turned out it was outside the garage but I suddenly realised that I was perfect pickings for a serial killer - a young female in her red undies investigating a suspicious noise.
I recently purchased an item on eBay from Discount Jewelery.
When I looked at my Paypal history, it appears that I paid someone by the name of DISCOUNTJEW :eek:
“Ew, this tastes WEIRD! What’s wrong with it?!”
Anyone who falls for this line and places lips to food item must take a step forward.
Me? I’m stepping back. If you think it’s wrong I sure as hell ain’t trying it, you freak! Go away!
I don’t drink. Well, much. I hardly ever do. So going to a gallery opening without having eaten on a hot day was maybe not the best of plans. I had my whole glass-and-a-half of wine which must’ve vaporized in the heat and gone straight to my brain.
My friend watched me as we shopped and I placed several items in someone else’s cart instead of my own.
I’m LMAO (no I am not typing that out so 
) now thinking what the person who had that cart must have thought happened when she got to the cash and found stuff in her cart that she didn’t put there.
My pal and I were speechless with laughter in the parking lot for quite a while before we were able to go on our way that day.
I think most of the horndogs on this board would say that that’s important to note regardless of the rest of the story. 
Okay, I laughed out loud at this.* And imagining you there, in front of your monitor, actually doing the EEK! face didn’t help. (Yeah, I do find that the EEK! smilie occasionally adds comic effect. And, yes, I’m waaay beyond 12-years-old. Go figure.)
*Note to my fellow Yiddishkeit: Please don’t ex-communicate me. 
Years ago my sister and a friend did that, and more. She and a friend were setting up for a meeting and realized they had forgotten some stuff, so they hopped into her friend’s Volkswagen beetle and went off to pick it up. It wasn’t until they came out to return that they realized it wasn’t her friend’s car. They drove back down all the side streets and managed to put the car back without being arrested.
Did you forget to remove the thin cellophane plastic before eating it? :dubious:
At least you weren’t buying a musical jew such as this one I found two Christmases ago in my local Zellers.
