Due to the Graphic Nature of This Piece Reader Discretion is Advised (not really)

 

I’m not exactly sure what they’re selling at Crazy, Sexy, Hot  drive-thru. I do know this much however:

1. It’s the first certified Crotch-to-Table restaurant in the United States.

 

2. As you exit the drive-thru a sign reads, “Thousands served; many to climax.”

 

3. All orders come with Wet-Naps and a lobster bib.

 

4. If they ask you, “Would you like that on the side?” say, “Duh?”

 

5. At some point all your car windows will steam-up.

 

6. If you order Fertile Fries, be sure to ask for spermicidal ketchup.

 

7. Be very careful answering the question: “Are you going to eat that in the car or will you be taking her home?”

 

8. Rumor has it the Dildo Burrito is filling. Very filling. Very, very filling.

 

9. It’s the only place you can get a toasted bagel with KY Jelly.

 

10. An old wives’ tale says that driving thru backwards can prevent pregnancy.

 

11. Interestingly, they have “Old Wives’ Tails” on the menu.

 

12. Employees say the pay isn’t very good, but that the tips are tremendous.

1. 

   Tombstone version of the Magic 8 Ball. (French “yes”) + (German “yes”) = oui-ja

   They cremated me and now I’m such an ash.

 

2. Why does this coffin have cup holders and an air bag? Hey wait a minute. They buried me in my car!

 

3. Is it me or are you really that tall?

 

4. That Melissa McCarthy kills me. I’m serious. She murdered me. Get her.

 

5. The guy who wrote this is a chiseler

 

6. Did all my own stunt work. Although probably should’ve used a stunt double on that last one.

 

7. And then the alien said, “It’s a cookbook.”

 

8. Death is the ultimate mic drop

 

9. Don’t worry ladies. If you’re wearing a dress, I’m face down.

 

10. It turns out the Surgeon General was right. Smoking really is harmful.

 

11. Forgive people their ignorance. Start with me.

 

12. And then he said, “Oh, don’t worry, these bungee cords never snap.”

 

13. Was privileged to see America made great again.

 

14. If you’re high and open a jar of Fluffernutter it always gets finished. In fact you don’t even have to be high.

 

15. Buried with my cat. Kinda wish we put her to sleep first. I’m a shredded mess.

 

16. I don’t care – I’m still getting my orthodontia work done.

 

17. Thanks a lot Obama!

 

18. I was so poor I was living from my girlfriend’s paycheck to my girlfriend’s paycheck {Not really an epitaph. I just thought of it and didn’t want to waste it.}

 

19. If you can read this epitaph you’re standing on my nuts.

 

20. I used to “Be Here Now.” Now I “Was There Then.”

 

21. When you can figure out how to properly space this thing, call me will ya?

It’s time we had a talk. I want you to know I appreciate <insert product or service here>, but that I will never memorize my 12-digit account number. Additionally, I don’t know my password, which has been changed three times in the last year and contains a Capital letter, a Number and a Diacritical mark of some kind so that it looks more like a swear word than a password. Finally I never need to listen closely to your automated phone tree just because “some of our options may have changed.” I never had the original options memorized to begin with and I never will.

Please help me simplify my life by just looking up my name and authenticating me by verifying the answers to my security questions. The answers usually being: “6 months” and “grave robbing.”

And the questions being: How much jail time have you served? and What is your favorite hobby? (Which incidentally is the same reason I did jail time).

If you would do that for me <insert name of corporation here> I would get back the 2 months of my life I’ve spent trying to tell you it really is me.

Now, before you go, if you’d like to take a survey expressing your level of satisfaction with this letter, press 1 for yes. If you don’t press 1 for yes expect another 8 minutes added to your hold time – just sayin’.

Thank You for Listening,

In a top to bottom reorganization of the Executive Branch, the Trump Administration began to repurpose cabinet level departments and certain governmental agencies to better reflect their new role in the Oranging of America. The following is a list of rebranded names that more accurately express the new breeze blowing through their corridors:

 

1. After months of DNA testing, The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier has been demystified and is now called The Tomb of Corporal Larry Weaver

 

2. Department of Labor has been outsourced to India

 

3. The Department of Defense will get back its old swagger and revert to its original name: The Department of War. Spokagandist Sean Spicer remarked, “It’s what the founders would’ve wanted.”

 

4. Department of Health and Human Services is now just an Urgent Care near Baltimore

 

5. The Bureau of Weights and Measures will now be recalibrated and known as The Bureau of Alternative Weights and Approximate Measures

 

6. The Department of Education has morphed into The Ministry of Propaganda Read the rest of this entry »

So What Else is New?

Dateline: 4 July 2012, Geneva, Switzerland at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research)

Dispiriting news from the world of Quantum Physics. Shortly after CERN research scientists confirmed the existence of the so-called “God particle” (aka the Higgs boson), a group of contrarian nuclear physicists calling themselves Doctor’s Without Scruples denounced the finding and proclaimed the so-called “God particle” to be nothing more than Cosmological Dandruff. Although there were many competing theories explaining the particle’s composition, Doctor’s Without Scruples believe their Cosmological Dandruff theory was Head & Shoulders above the rest.

None of the other polar bears noticed the albino polar bear. Why would they? He blended right in and was all white with everybody. That is until one day somebody taunted, “Hey Rudolph, what’s up with that pink nose. You gonna guide somebody’s sleigh tonight?”

To which Rudolpho (he was a Spanish polar bear) replied, “I’m a polar bear just like you. Judge me by the content of my character not the color of my nose.”

A great lesson was learned that day and soon all the polar bears were holding paws and singing ♫I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony.♫

The Coca-Cola Company then sued the polar bears for copyright infringement of intellectual property.

Are you kidding me? As Journey said in “Don’t Stop Believing”: It goes on and on and on and on…

 

A Spoof on Stone Age Living – by Rock O’Fages

Disclaimer: In the world of comedy writing, spoof is a cringe-worthy word on par with yuckfest or laugh-o-rama. I would not be guardedly optimistic about reading a spoof on cavemen. Quite the opposite. I’d be carelessly pessimistic about reading a spoof on cavemen. “Spoof” is a comedic red flag and as unfunny as seeing the word hijinks in the description of a caveman spoof: as in “Ogg takes a wife and hijinks ensue.” Can’t wait to read that – not. I must disclose I have a steamy wordmance and a mad nouncrush on the word hijinks. Hijinks has beauty marks only a literary cosmetologist could love – 3 consecutive dotted letters (iji). The only other words that come close are ḋu̇ṁb and ḍụṃber, and you won’t find me taking them out for dinner and a movie. Read the rest of this entry »

A recently discovered love letter from William Shakespeare to Gwendolyn Fairskin, the nanny of his children, has or “hath” (as we slide down the slippery slope of Olde English) sparked great controversy and set Shakespearian scholars scurrying to verify its authorship. Did the venerable Bard of Avon write this revealing mash note to Ms. Fairskin? Moreover, did he author any of the magnificent plays attributed to him? I leave that question to the Bureau of Weights and Measures or whoever authenticates these things. All I know is; me thinks tis true – that this steamy epistle is the work of Shakespeare in love.

 

And if its discovery wasn’t startling enough, manuscript antiquarians have discerned a note scrawled on the outside of the folded parchment believed to read: “Alloweth not David Hardiman of Reno-upon-Truckee any view upon this missive.” Well tough luck Willie. Your prescience will go unrewarded as I dutifully present your heartfelt spasms to an adoring audience of enthusiastic Shake-o-philes.

 

Posing as a calibration technician for the Bureau of Weights and Measures I’ve gained access to the randy letter and carefully translated it from its original Pig Latin (he wrote it in code in case it was intercepted) to the more familiar Olde English, thereby allowing it to exhibit the expected Shakespearian rhythm we’re all comfortable with. T’would be imprudent to translateth otherwise. Read the rest of this entry »

There are really 2 facets to getting up in the morning (if indeed it still is morning). First there’s the waking up portion (easy). Then there’s getting out of bed portion (not so easy). And this is where The 7 Stages Of Getting Out Of Bed come into play:

1. Shock – Why me? I didn’t ask to be born. Stupid horny parents.

 

2. Denial – Surely this alarm was meant for somebody who gives a sh*t.

 

3. Bargaining – If keep binge-watching Netflix maybe it will all go away?

 

4. Guilt – I shouldn’t have gotten in line twice when they passed out the “sleepy gene.” Oh well, ♫Cheer up Sleepy Jean ♫.

 

5. Anger – It’s still Obama’s fault.

 

6. Depression – I don’t even want to eat. I swear I’m going to stop feeding myself.

 

7. Acceptance/hope – Well all this thinking has made me hungry. And since I need money for food, alright I’ll get up and go to work. Next incarnation I hope to come back as a bed so I can lie around all freakin day – yeah that’s right I said “freakin”.

Watch for my next installment of Life Coping Skills when I illuminate the 7 Stages Of Discovering They Got Your Drive-Thru Order Wrong. When you’re 5 miles away.
