Things that aren't supposed to be funny,
but are
A great update of an old
warning. I'm sure any potential thief is used to dealing
with the occasional dog, but a deadly snake pit is
something not every house is equipped with.
|
|
If the dog and snakes
don't get you, maybe the horse will?
|
|
Behold the fabled Pig-Cow
of Siquijor Island. Local legend says that there are
witches inhabiting the island, and after seeing this
creature, I think maybe there's some truth to the
legends.
|

We may have moved a few
chairs, but none were disarranged.
|
|
Somewhere in Kuala Lumpur
right now someone might be walking into this shop
to say, "Hey man, where's my fook hing coffin?".
|
|
The stray cats in Bangkok
are indeed more stylish than any I've seen in other
SE Asian cities.
|
|
Good to know there's a
24 hour service just in case you need to have an emergency
funeral.
|
|
I wonder what it feels
like to drive off the lot in a brand new new "Scrum
XXX"?
|
|
Yet another example of
creative advertising in the Philippines. As you're
pondering which bus you will cram yourself into for
the 10 to 15 hour torturous ride, you notice the sign
for the "Joy Liner", but then are disappointed
to see the parentheses beneath which say "bus".
|
|
Boyzcut doesn't really
sound unisex to me.

For anyone who needs an
internet connection while having their colon irrigated,
we found this destination in El Nido.
|
|
No well wishers allowed
at the airport!

Please note for scale:
Corey is not taller than Yao Ming.

Fortune cigarettes demonstrates
this typical scene of suburban life from Anytown,
USA on their 2005 calendar.
|
|
Videoke machines here
show some strange background videos while you sing,
but this is the first example of a "live monkey
bra" that I've ever seen.
|
|
This is a fellow
I like to call Rex--he's a mannequin at the mall that I've spotted
several times sporting different outfits, but you can always
pick him out with his unique hairstyle. Even if he's wearing
a tuxedo, he always seems to be saying "Gee Mr. Popodopolous,
are you sure I can't come in for a game of pachinko?!"
|
|
He may look
jolly, but he's bigger than you and taunting him is not a good
idea. Just give him what he wants and nobody gets hurt.
|
|
Sometimes funny
can also be sad. Rather than live in a degraded coral reef,
this fish chose instead to live in a discarded bottle of San
Miguel beer. Maybe a new slogan for San Miguel in the making?
Perhaps something like: "San Miguel Beer: For when you
want to drink like a fish".
|
|
Maybe it goes
without saying that one beer has the "same beer alcohol"
as other beers, but it's good to know it is indeed there in
case you were wondering.
|
|
Well,
everyone needs a haircut at some point.
|
|
With exchange
rates this high, it is possible that the money in your wallet
could spontaneously combust.
|
|
Some
sober advice during these dark days of reckless hand wiping.
|
|
Kinda
like Cheerios, but they taste like good old fashioned brains.
|
|
Sometimes
you don't get a ticket for leaving your car parked on a street
for six months, but that won't stop a tree from growing into
the passenger seat.
|
|
Certainly
a reasonable request. Especially considering this sign is on
the door to a bank.
|
|
Probably
some of the best advice I've ever seen given by a clown. Also
his nose is pretty big so he may inhale more foul odor than
you.
|
|
I
encountered this dog on Panglao beach numerous times during
my scuba classes. It always seemed to be walking around at the
hottest part of the day in a state of absolute lethargy. One
look and you can tell why--it's wearing brown felt pants!
|
|
There is indeed
a glow effect in Photoshop...but that doesn't mean you have
to use it.
|
|
When
product placement has no limit: San Miguel is the local beer,
Talk 'N Text is a reloadable cell phone card (and apparently
they are also basketball teams). Looks like the Talk 'N Text
boys are on the way to a bang up season!
|
|
Plant the garbage
seeds and you will grow a garbage tree. Kind of like Shel Silverstein's
'Giving Tree' but smellier.
|
|
Perhaps
"jolly" is not the best word for this child.
|
|
Andy Warhol
stayed clear of painting this stuff--hopefully it doesn't taste
as good as it sounds!
|
|
For
anyone interested in surfing the toilet, please don't.

Upon
finishing off the meddlesome Peter Pan, Captain Hook treated
himself to a nice candlelight dinner.

|
I
assume this means that every word in the dictionary has been
taken as a registered trademark.

Why
hang a family portrait on your wall when you can build one 30
feet tall in front of your house?
|
|
A
panoramic view of the above mural: Measuring approximately 80
feet wide and 30 feet tall, the view in and out of the house
is completely obscured. Imagine keeping up with these Joneses?
|
|
One question: who's really
guarding the imitation Louis Vuitton bags?
|
|
I think I heard
that christening a boat with a bad name is a jinx. After all,
Gilligan's boat was named "Minnow". And wasn't Darwin's
boat named the "Beagle"?
|
|
Shouldn't this
be in the produce aisle?
|
|
Beware the killer coconuts.

However we may feel about cock fighting
in America, it is a Sunday tradition here in the Philippines
for many of the men in the community. Women generally
do not attend, but despite the brutal and bloody main
event the cock fight is certainly an interesting look
into Filipino culture. I found myself watching the intricate
ways that bets are placed, how roosters are sized up
for the fight, and the gamesmanship and bluffing that
go on both inside and outside the arena. In fact, to
me watching the people was much more interesting than
watching the roosters. (Click
