This is way beyond mild amusement, but what the heck...

So, at this festival I just went to, the Critical Incident Team had to do a vehicle rescue. Mostly the CIT do fire safety, search for stray kids, and look cool.

Anyway, two youngish blokes had sat in the back seat of a car at night to get out of the wind (presumably while they

and

). Then they tried to get out. The doors wouldn't open. With the ignition off, the electric windows wouldn't work.

Shit. Trapped.

Three hours of various attempts passed, doubtless arguments and confusion. Eventually they admitted that they needed help.

Another two hours of banging on the windows passed before someone noticed them and asked what the problem was. The lads explained they were trapped and the doors were "jammed" or "broken". This person went of to the CIT and got a few blokes to come deal with it.

The senior firefighter grasped the situation, and opened the back door by operating the handle in the normal manner.

He managed to get through the explanation of how child safety locks work before leaving to go and have a fit of hysterical laughter.

Job announcement through our state association:

Salary: N/A

Yeah I wanna work there.

Maybe they think it means 'not available' but it does not. Nope, don't wanna work there. More seriously, I won't even apply to a place that doesn't give a salary range up front. Before I go through all the hassle I want to know how much of a pay cut it would be. You think you're going to pay me 2 bucks an hour, you got another think coming.

IM - more and more companies are doing that.
I find it really troubling that I have to waste a lot of time and effort to
find out they want me to work for next to nothing.

I know I know I know...some of the strangest things make me giggle, but...

I was looking at the cafeteria menu for the day and one of the sides is BBQ Baked Beans with the following description:

This Zesty Pinto Concoction Is Great As A Side Or As An Open-Range Dinner.

An inner-city open range? What?

"Hey, pardner, rustle me up some of them there beans to go. Gonna jump on this here buckskin and eat 'em out on the open range. It just don't get no better than that."

Of course, it would be better if my horse were a Pinto instead.

I'm sorry. I can't stop laughing!

I was looking everywhere for my pencil. I just had it! It was just right here! Is it on the floor? Under some papers? Behind the keyboard? How the heck does a pencil run away?

Oh, there it is, I used it to put my hair up.

Knowing that in 2 weeks I am heading to the Bahamas for our annual rugby trip of Old Boy Debauchery..... totally looking forward to it.

TheMercenary · 05-15-2012, 11:03 PM
