This particular blog will be fun for me as I enjoy filthy little things and mistakes and udder stupidity and I am elated when I find them just wondering around my world. I will go to almost any length to capture an image whenever possible so I can share these treasures with my friends and some of them do the same so it's like a little scavenger hunt for us and I'm sure if you keep your eyes open you can be witness to things just like this, too! They may be simple little things but the joy they bring is enormous. Join me, won't you?
Now this first photo is of a roll of novelty toilet paper I found in the home of one of our customers. They wrapped it neatly and put a paper cuff around it that reads poo-pourri. That's both a brilliant and elegant way to showcase your T.P. Everyone needs this product but this was a great way to set your brand apart from the others. A fun little play on words since potpourri smells good but when your ready to use this chances are the smell will be far from pleasant. Kudos to the makers of Poo-Pourri toilet tissue!
My good friend Jen and I found this shining example of crazy while having lunch at Olive Garden in Waterford CT last weekend. I always thought it strange that people would buy stickers with stick figures of their children, some with names and all and plaster them on their vehicles. It's like a billboard for child molesters. To me it says "Follow this car. Their are 3 kids that live where this car lives and here are their names to make it easier for you to lure them into your van." Might not even need the line "Do you kids like candy?" That aside though, this car was parked right beside ours and it too says something. It says "Like the smell of cat pee? Well, follow us home! We have 10 cats living with us and we are so lucky to have found one another, us two crazy cat people!" Indeed, they are lucky... YIKES!
This fine piece of art work was also found in the home of a customer with a profound sense of humor. This switch plate is in the guest cottage bathroom and I found it so divine that I went right online and purchased one for myself. It mixes my love for art and my thirst for sick perfectly.
The above photo was taken from the corner of a child's chalk board. It had up in the top right hand corner a very endearing sketch of an old fashioned school house and down in the far left bottom corner this school bell that looks like there is missing punctuation or words stuck together that shouldn't be. What better way to boost self confidence and instill pride in a child then to give them a chalk board and tell them that they can pretend to be a teacher but remember, you are only bright enough to teach at "Ding Dong School" because you are an idiot.
This lovely wallpaper job is also in a home we have done work in. It in no way could have been on purpose unless this was the most talented installer of wallpaper in the world. The entire bathroom is papered and it is a very large room so for this to have been planned would be even more impressive. It just happens to be and that makes it greater still in my eyes. What are the odds that the switch right near the commode would almost perfectly center the man's squeaker on the on/off switch? It does beg me to giggle when someone says the phrase "Could you turn that light on?" "Yes I can! GRRRR!"
This was the front of a vacuum bag but looks more like an add for an escort service boasting a great reputation for 100% customer satisfaction. That's not my bag, Baby!
I'm not sure if Westerly Walmart recruits it's employees straight from Ding Dong School or what but I have to say this doesn't seem like such a bargain to me.
This was one part of a Dagwood comic strip but set aside on it's own sounds more like part of a Chris Rock standup routine. It is especially funny to Jen and I because over the years we have said things that were completely innocent when you don't have a sick mind but the second the words left our mouths and reached our ears and the connection was made by our minds that dwell in the gutter at all times, we knew we had made a mistake with the choice of words. For instance, about 10 years ago Jen, myself and a group of friends were at dinner and I made one such blunder. Jen has always been very thin and beautiful but has quite an appetite. She finished ordering and the waitress left the table and one of our friends remarked on the amount of food she had ordered for someone so tiny. I piped in and said "She may be much smaller then I am but she can always eat me under the table." I instantly knew I should not have said that but it comes up from time to time and we laugh about that double entendre to this day.
A bit more recently, and the reason I snapped this picture and sent it off to Jen in a text, she made a blunder that was just as good as mine. Unfortunately, I was the only one there to witness it but we laughed for a while just the same. One of our traditions is to get together at the home of either Jen and her husband or to meet at my apartment at least a few times a month. When we are at my place we get a combo plate from our favorite chinese restaurant, Chen's and share it and have our girl talk. When we meet at her house, I will often stop at Outback in New London and pick up an order of cheese fries, a loaf of bread and 2 salads and I scurry to her place and we stuff face and chat. This particular time we were at her house and I grabbed the grub and we gorged ourselves and were cleaning up. Jen looked at her salad and then at me and then at the trash and back at me and said "Should I just toss this salad?" As soon as the words fell from her lips we burst out laughing. Just a small dose of how our wicked minds will twist things that are all right and make them completely wrong. I love Jen for so many reasons but this shared trait makes our friendship more solid then sisterhood for me!

This review was happened upon by Jen while doing her registry for their son to born this coming May. She reads lots of reviews on the products as most of us do to ensure we get the best quality we can but this one is quite funny. I think when she implies that this particular item has a design flaw because it lacks a lid, what she really means to say is that her home lacks cleaning products and/or an exterminator. Maybe Carli from the Bronx should think about moving out of the roach filled city rather then bagging on Dr. Brown's bottle drying rack. That would solve the problem I think...
So, that concludes my blog on silly things I've found recently but I am always on the hunt for more. I hope you can find a little humor where you didn't expect to find it, too. It can really make your day!
