Keep Far Back

I think your wife may have succeeded in being clever. I won a mousetrap at a pub quiz once, it was the second-worst prize I ever won at that quiz.
“My dad’s friend brought him a clever birthday cake.”
Ah, to be 18 again! I can’t remember what I was doing when I was 18, but I know it involved not paying rent, having to sort taxes out, and not being tired all the time.

That toilet looks like it has seen some things. I dread to think what the last person in there did to make it look like this.
A True Horror Story

The Joke Police
Thank goodness for the police and their stellar sense of humor; truly, where would we be without the hilarious boys in blue?
A Better Ending Than The Actual One
I’ll let you insert your own clever Game of Thrones witty toilet pun here, as I’ve never seen the show but apparently the ending was terrible so I just thought I’d jump on the bandwagon and keep bashing it.
“My nephew wrote the most accurate description of Walmart that I have ever read.”
The word “bozo” is not used anywhere near enough in today’s society. Hopefully, this child’s wonderful essay will rekindle a love for this daft word.

And people have the cheek to say that crime ain’t pretty. Well, whoever this guy is, he’s proving them all wrong with his glittery orbs.
One woman wanted to microwave some rice in a sock for a makeshift heating pad, but had to use popcorn kernels instead.
Although she technically got what she wanted, that heating pad came at the cost of her sock because it’ll probably keep that weirdly bulbous shape forever.
When Grandma comes over, the TV remotes often need a little simplification.
My favorite part is that giant “No,” which probably came after a long, exhausting attempt at explanation. That’s what experience tells me, anyway.

Namely, that when the toilet paper inevitably runs out, whoever installed this will have to sacrifice their newfound privacy at the worst possible time.
This costume is very clever and seems easy to make, but a lot more difficult to wear.
I can only imagine how this person had to contort themselves to make this work. This is what happens when you mix improvisation with dedication.

OK, so technically, this probably wasn’t improvised because it looks like it took hours to execute.
But honestly, who cares? Just look at it and be baffled at how much ambition and skill was at work here.
It looks like you’d have to be a stylist, an artist and an engineer to understand how to do this. This girl might not be able to fit through doors now, but nobody’s topping her hairstyle.
The job might not get done quickly, or even right, but at least it’ll be done adorably.
Although that’s assuming the sheep will be even slightly OK with some goober sitting on it while it’s trying to eat.
That’s not what I’d put my money on.
Here we have a guy fishing in a roadside ditch with a life jacket on and a buoy on his bike.
We may laugh now, but he’s obviously expecting something that nobody else is.
A flash flood? A surprise visit from Aquaman (which might explain the burger crown)? Whatever it is, I have a feeling that we’ll be the ones looking silly when it comes.
I’ve got to hand it to this person, I’ve never had a tripod give me so many warm, nostalgic feelings before.
I also have to admire their restraint in how they played as a kid because I think I might have one in my house that’s still intact.
