Luckily I only end up seeing one maybe once or twice a year, whether its for me, or another family member. Under any other circumstance, I would be patient with things like this, because it’s rare that I need to go there..  But [...] Fri, 20 Jun 2008 04:18:36 +0000 http://lifeisfunny.freethrills.com/index.php/2008/06/17/flies-by-the-hundreds-i-killed-72-of-them-by-hand-last-night/ Ok, back to the trailer last night, I showed up at 11pm. Started the generator. Lights flicked on. Walked into the trailer, and BLAM! I see a massive amount of large black flies everywhere. Now, I just drove a whole hour to get to the trailer. I could have turned around and went home.. but instead, I [...] Tue, 17 Jun 2008 21:58:16 +0000 http://lifeisfunny.freethrills.com/index.php/2008/06/11/tipping-over-a-mailbox-how-much-fun-can-that-really-be/ In our neighborhood, I’ve noticed someone keeps tipping the mailboxes over. I understand, doing it once or twice as a prank might be funny when you’re a teenager. But who ever is doing it, does it religiously, like 2 or 3 times every week. How fried must your brain be on drugs  when tipping over a mailbox [...] Thu, 12 Jun 2008 07:41:01 +0000 http://lifeisfunny.freethrills.com/index.php/2008/06/10/graduated-drivers-licensing-programs-counter-productive-and-stupid/ The concept of a Graduated Drivers Licensing Program for new drivers, is that it puts extra restrictions and limitations on them during the probationary period. I agree with that. If the new driver violates these additional restrictions, they get their license suspended, and their graduated licensing program starts again. I totally disagree with that.. How is suspending someone from [...] Tue, 10 Jun 2008 17:58:53 +0000 http://lifeisfunny.freethrills.com/index.php/2008/06/09/horrible-tasting-pizza-why-do-we-accept-that/ Today I ordered pizza from what looked like an authentic Greek restaurant. Normally Greek Restaurants are second best to true Italian pizza outlets. I paid $30 for two medium “special” pizzas. Here’s my review. On first look, the pizza did not look like it had fresh toppings. You can kind of tell when mushrooms are old and wrinkly [...] Tue, 10 Jun 2008 05:10:32 +0000 http://lifeisfunny.freethrills.com/index.php/2008/06/07/power-adapters-wasted-energy/ You know those black “brick” power adapters… Our cell phone chargers have them, our computer peripherals have them. Any cordless device we have, that needs recharging, has them. If you go through your house, it is not uncommon to have 20 of these power adapters plugged in.. All of them down convert 120 volt AC electricity to [...] Sat, 07 Jun 2008 22:19:14 +0000 http://lifeisfunny.freethrills.com/index.php/2008/06/05/winning-a-major-prize-greed-or-stupidity-you-decide/ Ok, I was at a Casino tonight. At 8pm they were drawing for a prize of two (2) Vespa Scooters, worth $12, 000 U.S. Dollars. Someone won the prize. They asked the winner: “Will you take the two Vespas with a retail value of $12, 000 or will you take $5, 000 cash instead” Without hestitating, she said “I’ll take the [...] Fri, 06 Jun 2008 04:50:16 +0000 http://lifeisfunny.freethrills.com/index.php/2008/06/04/ready-to-get-your-first-tattoo-dont-do-it/ Before I explain why, let me tell you this one simple fact. 90% of the people who get their first tattoo, end up getting a 2nd, then a 3rd, then a 4th… By the time they are on their 5th tattoo, they usually begin thinking that 1 of the 5 tattoos already on their body isn’t quite [...] Thu, 05 Jun 2008 06:30:02 +0000 http://lifeisfunny.freethrills.com/index.php/2008/06/03/tv-commercials-marketing-it-gets-dumber-and-dumber/ Back in the old days (1940’s), TV commercials were used as “a note from our sponsor”. In exchange for some TV advertising, the sponsor would deliver a short entertaining message to the audience, and the TV station would receive funds in order for it to function. That form of advertising was understandable. The TV commercials were [...] Wed, 04 Jun 2008 07:09:26 +0000 http://lifeisfunny.freethrills.com/index.php/2008/05/31/electronic-gadgets-programmed-to-break-after-warranty/ This has happened to all of us.. You buy some electronic gadget or equipment, a CD Player, a TV, a stereo, an iPod.. You use it during the warranty period with no problem whatsoever. Then after the warranty runs out, its usually only 1 year later, the thing breaks. So I started wondering today.. Is it possible for [...] Sun, 01 Jun 2008 00:15:52 +0000 http://lifeisfunny.freethrills.com/index.php/2008/05/30/ready-to-be-a-parent-guess-again/ I am not the original author of this piece. It was forwarded to me in one of those internet chain letters. Therefore I cannot ask permission nor give credit to the original author. But it is really funny. So funny, that it’s worth a repost. Review these 14 simple tests before deciding whether you are really ready [...] Fri, 30 May 2008 22:02:55 +0000 http://lifeisfunny.freethrills.com/index.php/2008/05/29/customers-who-owe-money-and-get-offensive-about-it/ Today I had a little verbal altercation with a customer. Our normal policy is to give 30 days on our invoices, and after that they become past due, and the customer risks having their account suspended. This particular customer has been with us for 8 years, so we let him go to the 60 day mark.  At that [...] Fri, 30 May 2008 04:03:20 +0000 http://lifeisfunny.freethrills.com/index.php/2008/05/28/security-guards-funny-silly-stories-by-an-ex-officer/ A long time ago, I spent quite a few years in my youth as a Security Officer (aka Security Guard). There are a few people employed in that profession that take their security job seriously and do very well at it. However, more often than not, there is a lot of politicial mind games played between [...] Thu, 29 May 2008 06:58:23 +0000 http://lifeisfunny.freethrills.com/index.php/2008/05/26/bad-buffet-tricks-and-secrets-how-to-get-rich-while-making-customer-sick/ Oh this is a favourite one for me… How to get rich, while making customers sick. “BAD Buffet Tricks and Secrets”. It could be a book that would probably fly off the shelves. Well actually, maybe a lot of buffet owners already know these things, so it would be nothing new to them. What I can’t understand, [...] Tue, 27 May 2008 01:30:51 +0000 http://lifeisfunny.freethrills.com/index.php/2008/05/25/padding-drink-bills-at-a-pub-bar-tavern/ Oh yes, it happens more often than you think. (First of all, why the heck do we have so many names for a Pub, Bar, Tavern, anyway?) Scenario 1 So you’re out for the night at your local bar, and your waitress comes by and asks you if you want another beer. You’re there for 4 hours, and [...] Mon, 26 May 2008 06:40:30 +0000
