A king in Africa had a close friend he grew up with. The friend had a habit of looking at every situation that ever occurred in his life (positive or negative) and remarking, “This is good!”

One day the king and his friend were out on a hunting expedition. The friend would load and prepare the guns for the king. The friend had apparently done something wrong in preparing one of the guns, for after taking the gun from his friend, the king fired it and his thumb was blown off.

Examining the situation the friend remarked as usual, “This is good!” To which the king replied, “No, this is NOT good!” and had his friend sent to jail.

About a year later, the king was hunting in an area that he should have known to stay clear of. Cannibals captured him and took them to their village. They tied his hands, stacked some wood, set up a stake and bound him to the stake. As they came near to set fire to the wood, they noticed that the king was missing a thumb.

Being superstitious, they never ate anyone that was less than whole. So untying the king, they sent him on his way. As he returned home, he was reminded of the event that had taken his thumb and felt remorse for his treatment of his friend.

He went immediately to the jail to speak with his friend. “You were right” he said, “it was good that my thumb was blown off.” And he proceeded to tell his friend all that had just happened. “And so I am very sorry for sending you to jail for so long. It was bad for me to do this.”

“No,” his friend replied, “this is good!”

“What do you mean, ‘This is good?!’” How could it be good that I sent my friend to jail for a year.”

“If I had not been in jail, I would have been with you.”

Here’s a pretty clever spin on the old porn movie. Still not safe for work. Did he fix that with a pipe wrench?

So a clever marketing company put together a series of slides of people yawning. To prove that yawns are contagious- watch the slide deck and try not to yawn- works really well if you tired, lol. You can see the yawns at: Subliminal Messages.

Zoomdoggle has these duct tape bandaids. For those shop accidents- you might need a roll if you lop off a finger.

Sort of a cross between classical and modern- nice piece of music.

Harry steps into the modern urban setting with an epic opera. Yeah right. It’s a rap, yo.

Well if you have to go, he’s got a good idea. Our hero has a low life expectancy… Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal put out this jewel.

He's so dead

You know, the more things change, the more they stay the same. This is probably what it was like- the first help desk providing IT support…

Several men are in the locker room of a golf club. A cell phone on a bench rings and a man engages the hands free speaker-function and begins to talk. Everyone else in the room stops to listen.

MAN: “Hello.”
WOMAN: “Honey, it’s me. Are you at the club?”
MAN: “Yes.”
WOMAN: “I am at the mall now and found this beautiful leather coat. It’s only $1,000. Is it OK if I buy it?”
MAN: “Sure, go ahead if you like it that much.”
WOMAN: “I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the new 2009 models. I saw one I really liked.”
MAN: “How much?”
WOMAN: “$90,000.”
MAN: “OK, but for that price, I want it with all the options.”
WOMAN: “Great! Oh, and one more thing …..the house I wanted last year is back on the market. They’re asking $950,000.”
MAN: “Well, then go ahead and give them an offer of $900,000. They will probably take it. If not, we can go the extra 50 thousand. It is really a pretty good price.”
WOMAN: “OK. I’ll see you later! I love you so much!!”
MAN: “Bye! I love you, too.”
The man hangs up. The other men in the locker room are staring at him in astonishment, mouths agape….. Then he smiles and asks: “Anyone know who this phone belongs to?”

Influks has some pictures from inside the dildo factory. It’s not nearly as glamorous as you’d think. Sadly no pictures of the testing department (or the models for the ladies, lol).
