    Love this collection, OUC! We have those spring flowers all over the place. Had fun as a child with big cardboard boxes. I'll never view a light switch the same way again, ick, LOL! Page not found is priceless! Thanks, OUC, for another great start to my day!

    Me dino didn't know Beethoven was short.
    Started to ask. Said to myself, "This is the information age. Look it up yourself, dummy!"

    So female girls act like human girls. This is how you can go through life as a face value low information voter. Men can get pregnant too, ya know.

      Hmmm, the urinals are arranged to: DA,DA,DA, da . . ?

      I liked #3: Tulsi Gabbard when she was young.

        Now who save for yourself can possibly--without reading both our replies here first--can possibly look at that photograph of urinals and think of Beethoven's DA, DA, DA, da?
        Who? Who? Who? Surely not the dino!
        #3 is very cute, but Tulsi does no have naturally curly hair. Do believe a Peanuts character liked to brag about having that.

          I'm a Beethoven fan, so picked up on it right away. DA DA DA da, LOL! I know what you mean, though, dino. I wouldn't expect too many folks to get that one right away, as good as it is.

            Me dino is not a Beethoven fan, though I am familiar with those Da Da Da da notes. Who isn't?
            Nevertheless, all the small urinal did was inspire me to research an assurance that Beethoven was indeed a short fella.
            See? See? Does everyone see how smart the dino be? He's short! He's short after all! Yay!

              Yes, I see, LOL! I actually have a 6 inch bronze bust of Beethoven in my man cave along with Mozart, Sophocles, and George Washington. The Ludwig Van wasn't known for a gentle demeanor so the forever scowl on his bust is fitting. Oh, let's not forget the white marble miniature of Venus De Milo, LOL!

            Maybe you can read music like my late mother could.
            She played the piano and the organ before she became a church choir director.

              Best way to read music is Tom Brier's way. He learned to read music about the same age that he learned to read English, both with the same facility. Before the horrid auto accident that stole his abilities he could look at sheet music he'd never seen before and play it right away, first time through straight (more or less) and then repeated with improvisations.

              Many pianists can sight-read and many can improvise. It is unusual for one to be good with both skills at once. Here's an early example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZMro...

              Here he plays a composition by his friend Ron O'Dell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t96Xl...

              Oh, and the Beethoven? Intuitively obvious to the most casual observer, as my late friend Alexis Konstantinovich used to say.

    It's 1:15am Saturday morning and I can't stop laughing. Botix, pantsflowers, hospice (my fridge, where veggies go to die), light switch, power tool, they all made me laugh and I still can't quite stop! Thank you, Carl šŸ¤£

    Great bunch!
    Loved the phones. I remember when my grandparents had a phone that they had to crank to get an operator. Being from a city, my sister and I didnā€™t have a phone like that. But we still had to dial. And we were on a party lineā€¦.not much fun for a couple of teenagers.

      Get an old crank phone and use it to catch worms for fishing bait. Cranking generates about 90 volts AC. You run the "line" terminals to wires (we used coat hangers) poked into moist ground, turn the crank, and worms appear, crawling up to be caught.

        LOL, yes, when I was much younger we would make a "worm probe", which was a tire iron with very long electrical cord with a plug on one end and the other end bared and electrical taped to the iron. Disconnect one side of the plug so only one side can be live - if you screw this up you can blow fuses/breakers or hurt your self so be careful and pay attention to what you are doing. Stick the probe in the ground and go plug it in. If it doesn't work unplug, rotate and plug back in. If there are any worms in your ground they will come out quite quickly - unplug and go pick up the worms. You can look up "worm probe" on line to see How it's done.

          The cranked phone magneto will work anywhere. You do not need a supply of regular electricity.

          No, that's not quite right. It won't work in Manhattan. As Stan Freberg said, "Whole island solid concrete. Nothing grow except little square place in middle." Who'd give $24 for something like that?

    As someone involved in documenting network software and control systems, the 404 error wins.
    The toilet roll with page error made me recall one of Biden's odd comments that sounded more than anything else like, "My butt's been wiped."
    He may really have answered a question with a confused question of his own, "Must what be what?" but he'd help himself if he talked clearer.
