Whole new meaning to the terms "Misunderstood Artist" and "Working Mom"
Probably this is why you should always look over your kids homework. It only take a few minute in the morning and it can save you a lot of embarrassment. Following is the drawing a kid made about his parent’s work. The teacher asked the kids in class to draw how their parents make money. The teacher got panicked after looking at the picture the kid drew. rushed to principle’s office who called the mother of child for some serious talk.
Before I tell you about the profession of the kid’s Mom, have a look at the kid’s drawing.
The child was drawing a picture about what his mother does for a living. The mother works at Home Depot and the picture depicts the mother selling a shovel.
Darwin Awards 2008: Most extreme acts of reported stupidity
For those of you not familiar with the Darwin awards, they are awarded annually for the most extreme acts of (occasionally terminal) reported stupidity - they are now in for 2008…
First Place - The 2008 Darwin Award Winner:
When his 38-calibre revolver failed to fire at his intended victim during a hold-up in Long Beach, California, would be robber James Elliot did something that can only inspire wonder: He peered down the barrel and tried the trigger again. This time, it worked!
And now, the honorable mentions:
- The chef at a hotel in Switzerland lost a finger in a meat-cutting machine and, after a little hopping around, submitted a claim to his insurance company. The company, suspecting negligence, sent out one of its men to have a look for himself. He tried the machine out and lost a finger. The chef’s claim was approved.
- A man who shoveled snow for an hour to clear a space for his car during a blizzard in Chicago returned with his vehicle to find a woman had taken the space. Understandably, he shot her.
- After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus driver found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be transporting from Harare to Beltway had escaped. Not wanting to admit his incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus stop and offered everyone waiting there a free ride. He then delivered the passengers to the mental hospital, telling the staff that the patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies. The deception wasn’t discovered for 3 days.
- An American teenager was in the hospital yesterday recovering from serious head wounds received from an oncoming train. When asked how he received the injuries, the lad told police that he was simply trying to see how close he could get his head to a moving train before he was hit.
- A man walked into a Louisiana Circle-K, puts a $20 bill on the counter, and asked for change. When the clerk opened the cash drawer, the man pulled a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which the clerk promptly provided. The man took the cash from the clerk and fled, leaving the $20 bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he got from the drawer? $15. (If someone points a gun at you and gives you money, was a crime committed?)
- A thief burst into a Florida bank one day wearing a ski mask and carrying a gun. Aiming his gun at the guard, the thief yelled, “FREEZE, MOTHER-STICKERS, THIS IS A ****-UP!” For a moment, everyone was silent. Then the snickers started. The guard completely lost it and doubled over laughing. It probably saved his life, because he’d been about to draw his gun. He couldn’t have drawn and fired before the thief got him. The thief ran away and is still at large. In memory of the event, the bank later put a plaque on the wall engraved with the words, Freeze, mother-stickers, this is a ****-up!”
- Seems this Arkansas guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided that he’d just throw a cinderblock through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinderblock and heaved it over his head at the window. The cinderblock bounced back and hit the would-be thief on the head, knocking him unconscious. The liquor store window was made of Plexiglas. The whole event was caught on videotape
Breaking News: Chicken crossed the road because All Dogs Were Drunk!
It is ages Old Question:
Why Did Chicken Cross the Road?
We now have the answer.
The Chicken succeeded in crossing the road because all the dogs were drunk…
Let’s see what others have to say about the incident.
GEORGE W. BUSH: We don’t really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road or not. The chicken is either with us or it is against us. There is no middle ground here.
AL GORE: I invented the chicken. I invented the road. Therefore, the chicken crossing the road represented the application of these two different functions of government in a new, reinvented way designed to bring greater services to the American people.
COLIN POWELL: Now at the left of the screen, you clearly see the satellite image the chicken crossing the road.
HANZ BLIX : We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed access to the other side of the road.
MOHAMMED ALDOURI (Iraq ambassador): The chicken did not cross the road. This is a complete fabrication. We don’t even have a chicken.
SADDAM HUSSEIN: This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it
RALPH NADER: The chicken’s habitat on the original side of the road had been polluted by unchecked industrialist greed. The chicken did not reach the unspoiled habitat on the other side of the road because the wheels of a gas-guzzling SUV crushed it.
PAT BUCHANAN: To steal a job from a decent, hard-working American.
RUSH LIMBAUGH: I don’t know why the chicken crossed the road, but I’ll bet it was getting a government grant to cross the road, and I’ll bet someone out there is already forming a support group to help chickens with crossing-the-road syndrome. Can you believe this? How much more of this can real Americans take? Chickens crossing the road paid for by their tax dollars, and when I say tax dollars, I’m talking about your money…money the government took from you to build roads for chickens to cross.

Travel Tales: Books I Picked up, Only to Put Back on Shelf
When travelers have time to spend in a city, they resort to a multitude of activities. One of my favorites is visiting the local bookstore for bargains and new titles.
This journey is really exotic as One will always find a book that he has never seen before. Some times I do blow up my budget and have to cut short my cruise or take a cheaper one, only to buy a book.
Enough has been said about books and travel, I should come straight to point. Over time, when you think you have seen all kind of bizarre and weird books, something new comes up. I have collected below, covers of some really strange books.
Stranger is the fact that some of these books have been best sellers of their time. Enjoy them.

Rules for Army, Navy and Air Force
Army is another name for rules. it is all about discipline and obeying commands. Almost all armies in the world have made fun of themselves. below are some of great lists of rules shared by some bright soldiers. Enjoy the list…
US Marine Corps Rules:
- Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.
- Decide to be aggressive enough, quickly enough.
- Have a plan.
- Have a back-up plan, because the first one probably won’t work.
- Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
- Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun whose caliber does not start with a “4.” (That just shows good sense.)
- Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive.
- Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (lateral & diagonal preferred.)
- Use cover or concealment as much as possible.
- Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.
- Always cheat; always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
- In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.
- If you are not shooting, you should be communicating your intention to shoot.
