# 27 - A pelican landed on my car

I'm not kidding.
I was going outside to bring the garbage bins in (My car wasn't in the garage as I came home late-ish the night before) and a pelican was sitting on top of my car.
If only I had a camera. Perfect Kodak moment fail.

Oh well.
Stuff like that you'll never forget though.


Thought #1 - Random ranting

Have you ever thought that some words are just hilarious.
Yeah, I know I had a post similar to this, but some more words just popped into my head, more the names of some people, like some poor kids need to grow up with names such as "Sakhdeep", "Phing Phong-Phan", "Puo Jarr" (Pronounced Poo Jar), "Ting Ting Choy", "Fanny" and "Gaye". If you're wondering, I have met people all with these names.
Still need to meet this guy though...

And also the word "fart" (the person who suggested this rocks).
I swear, sometimes I just can't but help laugh out loud when someone says "I just did a fart". Is it the notion of the fart itself or is it the fact that they're supposed to be funny (As stated in an earlier blog).
I think its got to do with the actual word.
It seems the funniest words are always the shortest, with one or two syllables. The f is quite attacking as well as the t at the end, making it a strong statement (just like an actual fart), and the "ARRR" in the middle reminds us of pirates.
There you have it, the science of why the word 'fart' is funny!

Thought #2 - The packaging for the product is seriously dumb sometimes

Case 1) Sandwich bags
I was in a store today and came across these:



60 bags for a dollar? Can't go wrong

Now, is it just me, or wouldn't you prefer to show that the sandwich actually fits in the bag?? In both cases, the sandwich is far too big for the bag and it won't close. Marketing genius.
So if they don't fit sandwiches, what do they fit?
Oh wait, they're not supposed to be used for anything else, as they're sandwich bags, even though bread doesn't fit in them properly. You'd end up with a sandwich like the ones you used to find in your bag at school which are a couple days old and very squishy.

Case 2) Coles' stupid talking people on their generic produce.
I'll give you one example of these cheesy lines.

He apparently loves to entertain...

Now, if you're wondering. This is for Soda Water.
I swear, I do not know ANYONE who drinks soda water straight. And Enjoys it. And feels refreshed, relaxed and ready for the weekend. It tastes like ass on a stick.

There are many other cheesy ones, but this is the only one I could find quick enough.

Thought #3 - Some funny pictures I found.










The last one kills me

*Ants stretch when they wake up in the morning*

Hooroo all!

Good post, man. Though, in response to the "Education" demotivator, I should point out that I flipped burgers last semester from 10pm-3am, sleep was a foreign thing to me. :p
Yoo Suk for the win!
