And yes, the madness is just like your husband went through. To cap it all off, letting the cat out of the bag, I watched a live telecast of grandmaster chess commentary this morning, through all that stuff I mentioned earlier. To cap it all off, they told the commenting grandmaster the wrong start time! So he had to get up two hours too early for nothing, and was barely holding on with coffee! Meanwhile, I now had to add the "adjusted wrong start time" to my previously mentioned fun!-TaoPhoenix (November 02, 2014, 11:30 AM)

Ever stop to think, and forget to start again?
Why is "abbreviation" such a long word?
If one synchronized swimmer drowns, do the rest have to drown too?
Are people more violently opposed to fur rather than leather because it's much easier to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs?
If you spin an Oriental person around several times, does he become disoriented?

My company has exhibited in one of the largest trade shows in the
U.S. for many years. Every year we need some extra admittance badges for our
people who lose theirs or need one for a spouse. Since names John Doe and Mary
Smith would show a complete lack of intelligence, I always make up names that
sound like a real person, but really say something else. So that the show
people won't catch on too easily (and reject our badge requests) the first
names are usually real names and the last names are spelled strangely enough
that the real meaning is somewhat "hidden".
The list is below, and after that is the same list with the hidden meaning
spelled out. Don't cheat now. See how many you can get.

A victim of a domestic abuse attack managed to covertly alert the police to her appalling predicament by pretending to order a pizza.
The unidentified victim ordered a "large with half pepperoni, half mushroom and peppers" from a 911 operative who was at first baffled and believed it to be a prank call.
Thankfully they soon realised the severity of the situation and sent police to the house in question.
The full call went like this...

Yes, but that sort of grounded practical information is to hard to sensationalize...which seemed to be a rather strong undertone in the article. IMO as an entry piece it did nothing for the sites credibility - Kinda gave it a two headed space baby feel.-Stoic Joker (October 21, 2014, 11:23 AM)
