Learning Commando

A Never Not Funny staffer is out this week for a training class. Back in the office, we received this email:

So, I woke up this morning, showered and everything. It was as I was getting dressed that I discovered that I failed to pack any underwear. Soooooo, today I'm learning VMWare in a commando-type style. I saw a Wal-Mart on the way between the hotel and the training facility and will be making a purchase on the way back tonight... Unless I decide I'm more comfortable this way. It may be a lifestyle change for me. Who knows?
We don't make this stuff up, folks. It just happens. And it's all around us.

With great power comes great responsibility

If you've become familiar with Never Not Funny staffers via this blog, you know one thing we really like to do is eat. When the sacred lunch hour is not spent playing Texas Hold 'Em, we'll venture out with the rest of corporate America for a bite to eat.

As we're also a relatively frugal bunch, when Bennigan's started offering their $4.99 Cash Crunch Lunch, it quickly became one of our favorite establishments. Things seemed to be going so well - the limited-time promotion was extended and the Cash Crunch menu was expanded. We at Never Not Funny were living large. And then, out of nowhere, comes the email below.


It would seem that our hunger got the best of Bennigan's - we, apparently, ate them out of house and home. After tears were shed, we came to the realization that we, as consumers, are extremely powerful. And with that great power comes great responsibility. We promise to do our best not to put any other restaurants out of business.

Subliminal Advertising


Whoever wrote this ad has taken "the sickness" to a whole new level.

Not just a coat rack

We Never Not Funny staffers are just your average lot. However, time and time again, we're reminded that we, as frightening as it is, happen to be some of the smarter folks on this great planet of ours (see the wet floor post below this one). Trust me, it frightens us, too.

Even in our moments of intellectual glory, though, we have a way of shooting ourselves in the foot. You may have heard the phrase, "Not just a hat rack" when someone celebrates their own brilliant idea and points to their over-sized cranium. Well, a particular Never Not Funny staffer has been known to misquote that phrase as, "Not just a coat rack." So, you see, even in our moments of brilliance, we still manage to be a goofy lot.

This just in...

...rain may cause wet floors that can be slippery.


Duh!

It troubles me to say this sign was posted at grocery store I frequent. It also troubles me to realize there must be a lot of dumb people that also frequent the store. That would make me one of the smart people. That's scary.
