this week's guffaws

Strap in and hang on, because you're in for a giggly ride. Thanks to my well-connected friend, B, the photos below will surely give you a laugh. (And yes, I'll stop calling you Shirley... Ba dum dum.)

One side note before we bring out the pics. If you've got an email account and at least one friend who's fond of forwards, you've already been sent in the direction of Awkward Family Photos, right? Oh my, oh my, this site is the latest in submission blogs for funny photos-- think Cake Wrecks, only with family portraits. Some are predictable, some are inexplicable, and some are unbelievably outrageous. If I could get my hands on some of the photo albums from when I was growing up, I could be a regular submitter, my friends!

Okay, onto our own funny email photos and captions tonight. These came along in a message with the subject line: Why men don't live as long as women! There's a definite theme of DIY (do-it-yourself) to these scenarios, although not necessarily a whole lot of thought DKY (don't-kill-yourself!), apparently. For your viewing pleasure:

Standing on a bucket on TOP of a ladder, brilliant.


That CAN'T be right...


Ummmm? At least someone's holding the ladder steady.


Isn't this a violation of the seatbelt laws?


Shouldn't he be wearing a lifejacket?? Also fits under you might be a red neck?


Wonder what HE makes an hour? It can't be enough.


Who needs a truck?


Oh yeah, THAT's safe!


HMMM, maybe he couldn't see the huge yellow sign that said CLEARANCE.


Hey, he strapped it down.


He has a special license to drive that truck.


No problem, he can see through the holes.


It starts at a young age and men just get worse.


"You hold it while I whack it with this hammer. "


A new OSHA approved substitute for ladders.


Ropes are for sissies.


All I wanna know is, HOW?


In a hurry?


I can cut it down AND load it in the truck!!


And, just as a bonus-- a totally fake, but whole believable phone message written by a hubby for his dear wifey.



Keep on laughing,

  4. Woowwwww. Although that car thing? We have a similar embankment just outside the turn into our neighborhood. Without the dropoff. And in less than three years, I managed to come across an accident where a car was in the exact same situation. I never did figure it out.

    And ummm my grandmother once stood on a barstool stacked on a barstool to hang a valance in my first college apartment. *sigh*
