  • The same thing that happens to everyone else! (everything else? Eh, I'm close.)

  • I wouldn't have said this is Far Side. This doesn't look like his drawing style. But I could be wrong.

    Also, Far Side has some great jokes. I'm a fan.

  • The bouncer / security guard is asking for ID (identification), but the hillbilly thinks he is asking if he has any "idee" (idea pronounced with a very strong accent). So the hillbilly is asking "idea about what?"

    We're not at the height of comedy here.

  • I bought a reusable tote for like $3 in the section at the front of Target where they stick all the cheap stuff. It looks like it's made of woven burlap. It says "Going to Market" on the sides. It's shorter than the standard reusable tote, but a reasonable width.

    I bought it on a whim and thought it would sit in my trunk after I forgot about it. I use it all the time, and I've gotten a ton of compliments on it at checkouts of various stores.

  • The movie Castaway. This gif is sped up, which is making it more comedic looking then it was intended.

  • The number of people who are "knitting" in a movie or on TV...maybe 40% of them are actually doing it, and that's a high estimate (shout out to Miss Marple!). The rest appear to be wrapping yarn around one of the needles and then moving it vigorously, lol.

  • That's not how you spell lettuce.

  • I agree, but how do I find that special doctor? My bf's insurance is shit. Every visit to a new doctor costs at least $200. We can't just trial and error this until we find a good one. He's likely to run out of money first.

    This is why I posted. In hopes of getting some direction toward that doctor without a lot of money going down the drain.

  • Stone is a common British weight measuring unit, and this is a bbc article, so... That's why that happened.

  • Wilford* Brimley. But I still enjoyed your joke. :)

  • Ooh, I'll play! I'm 40 years old. I write checks every month to pay my rent, which has to be delivered to their office either by snail mail or in person (no online payment option).

    The last time I saw a dedicated fax machine was my retail job in 2008.

    The last time I used a deposit slip was three years ago when I deposited a gallon bag of change in person with a bank teller.

  • Yes, and well before that too. It meant an unmarried adult woman over the age of _____. (Here is where the discrepancy lies.) It was always true for an elderly woman. But could sometimes be applied all the way down to age 30, especially if you go far enough back that you were expected to be married in your 20s. (And if you weren't, there must be something wrong with you.)

  • Ironically, the algorithm pushing adhd content to my boyfriend is what made him actually realize that that's what he probably has. He just thought everyone felt the way he always has, but were better at handling their life than he was. (There might be a serious low self-esteem problem mixed in there too.)

  • This is almost the story of my boyfriend's childhood.

    "My son don't need any drugs!"

    Now he's over 40 and finally putting all the pieces together. But not before going tens of thousands of dollars into debt, which is forcing him to keep a job he hates so that he can pay rent. Have I mentioned the daily panic attacks and constant stress on his body?

    But he still hasn't seen anyone to get a proper diagnosis because "I am barely making it right now, but seeing someone is something I can't handle right now. Seeing someone might make it worse, and I'll just go further into debt."

    So here we are. Quickly dying, and not fixing it.

  • I know, for example, that my microwave completes one full rotation every 10 seconds. If I want to heat something for 45 seconds, it'll end up backwards. But that's on me for not using a multiple of 10 seconds.

  • I've never heard of a company giving you your birthday off either. But it's the only day every year that I feel special, so I always use vacation time to have that day off. And usually a couple of days surrounding it too.

  • It's, uh, boll. Boll weevil. So you learned two things!

    While we're on animals, every time I hear the word mongoose I picture some kind of platypus-like creature. Like, a half goose, half weasel or something. And that's not what it is at all.

  • I'm full of cheese at all times. What else is there to live for?

  • Chaos? A distraction from whatever else he's up to that night be worse? Idk.
