When I stopped at a rest area the other day, I noticed a sign on the wall that said that the water was safe for pet consumption. Unfortunately, it didn’t say anything about human consumption.

Stone Soup.
In the children s story “Stone Soup”, the solders throw some rocks into a pot and then convince the local villagers to contribute vegetables to the pot. Then they all enjoy the soup. Unfortunately while the villagers toiled for weeks and months to produce their vegetables, the solders just threw some rock into the pot. And yet, they all got the same share of the soup. Is it just me or does this story sound like Socialism?
Which Number Is Correct?
The TV ad shows a number to call for more information. But when the announcer repeats the number, it is not the same number as on the TV screen. I guess you have a 50/50 chance of calling the right number.

Nose hair extensions are the latest fashion trend. Like gluing on false eyelashes, you glue on your nose hair extensions. What is next, armpit hair extensions?
Mixing Music For TV.
For years I have noticed that TV shows which feature a live band never seem to get a good mix. At best, you only hear a lead singer and a lead instrument and the rest of the band are just there for looks.
Brooks Or Caitlin?
I was watching a TV talk program and thought that they were interviewing Caitlin Jenner. As it turns out, it was Brooks Shields and not Caitlin Jenner. Sorry Brooks.
Rewriting Children s Stories.
A writer has taken to rewriting children s stories with positive endings. In his rewrite, Humpty Dumpty gets put back together again. Well, I suppose that is better than a rewrite that makes him in to a giant omelette.
Nice Plug But Wrong Station.
A local TV news team was conducting live interviews on the street when one of the interviewees thanked them and told them that they were doing a great job. Unfortunately, they were referred to by their competitors name. Oh well, its the thought that counts.
Raptors Verses Drones.
It seems that some birds don’t appreciate sharing their air space with drones. So the birds are attacking the drones. And since the birds are more adept at flying, the drones are loosing.
