Damn I’ve become resilient. Thanks for that at least, W.
It would only be a fail if one of them pointed the wrong way, or if they didn’t identify the exit properly -_- thus it IS a redundancy, which IS what a redundancy IS.
well you know that moment between them losing consciousness and dying? that’s a great time to have consenting sex with them and you can’t get in trouble for necrophilia but you can catch STD (stupid troll disease)
No no, you have it wrong. It means he and his extinguisher meet up with other mixed couples like them and they trade partners. Sometimes you don’t want to cheat but you need some strange nozzle on the side. This way, his extinguisher is getting some as well. It’s a lifestyle they choose, you don’t have to agree just accept.
They’re trying to tell you “hit the road, Jack” and “don’t go away mad, just go away” and “don’t let the door hit ya where the good lord has split ya” and “why don’t you make like a tree and leaf”. I don’t know why they can’t be clear about it.
Indeed, and the great thing is, there’s an endless supply of these trolls!
When we’ve tazed them and let them spend a month in the troll cage, they’re tame enough to order around.
Hhmm, that sounds like it could be turned into a lucrative business.
People could rent trolls to perform unsavory jobs.
Now if only some one could think of a clever name for it the cash would roll inn…
Family drama. As per usual. I make dinner for the folks, and my step father decided he didn’t like the conversation. So he started and argument. I’lll take one of those party hats gladly!
Thank you! But I’d hate to drink alone. And it was just another Sunday here in my family. It happens like this. Every week just about.
Amusingly he thinks I’m depressed. So why he thinks adding angry to that is a good thing is beyond me.
There’s a party going on right here?
.
Hey Mookie, may I borrow a party hat until I find a lampshade?
.
Sorry to hear Sunday dinner did not go well Avis.
*Makes Avis a boilermaker*

Hello LB! I’ve only been able to pop in here and there today.
Lots of family stuff this weekend.
It’s a cruel trick played on gullible people Crucial.
1. If you open that door, you will see it leads you to stairs on the outside of the building that lead down a flight and then nothing. It’s part of the plant initiation process.
2. If you can get down from there without assistance, you have a job for life.
3. If you try but fail, they will pay for your funeral and set up a college fund for your kids.
4. If you pussy out and go back up the stairs, they take you to another door and blindfold you.
5. You have to try to read the braille telling you not to stand in front of the door fast enough to not get hit by the guy on the other side.
6. Read it fast enough, you have a job cleaning toilets and will be evaluated in a few months
7. Get hit on the head, they will drop you outside of a cemetery and claim no knowledge of you.
I think, for the sake of science and your reputation, that someone needs to verify that first hand. Then mouth, then other parts. If you would like, I would be happy to don my lab coat in the name of all that is scientific.
I was the only one amongst my peers to figure out the ‘English k-kinnigguts’ bit. He was sounding out the English word ‘knights’ as written – I’m told that there is no silent ‘k’ in French nor the silent-ish ‘gh’? It only took me a coupla decades to puzzle this out…
or, press start>up>enter>enter! if you use winblows only of course…however, if you have a mac, just wait for a convenient power failure, or for the stove or fridge to trip the lights. that should solve it!
I would go to the office of the director of the department of redundancy department, if only I knew how to get out of here and go to his office. We really need more Exit signs.
You can have more exit signs, just fill out these six identical forms in triplicate, copy each one six times, sign all of the forms and copies in blue ink, copy the signed copies twice, and submit them to the budgetary review office to ensure they are not “wasteful spending”.
True story. I had a package delivered by UPS in NJ but it went to Rahway State Prison instead of my house. So I had to go get it from the prison. I call and say I need to pick up this package and then I ask a question…
Me: Do they have conjugal visits there?
Mail Room Guy: No
Me: Do any prisons have conjugal visits?
MRG: No, you are thinking of NY.
Me: How do you arrange conjugal visits in NY?
MRG: You gotta be a wife or a relative to get conjugal visits.
Me: A relative?
MRG: Yeah, they don’t let just anyone have them.
Me: Ummm I will be by to pick up my package. Thank you.
In an attempt to be clever, I get the following,
“Duplicate comment detected; it looks as though you’ve already said that!”
Damn it! Yes I did, didn’t I?
It’s not redundant – the signs are like water fountains – one for normal people, one for giants, and one for people with heads tipped sharply to the left.
Do you think the outside of the building has an equally superfluous configuration of “Entrance” signs – I’m thinking with Vegas-style neon arrows – as well?
I will say that the most redundant of the three signs is the one above the door. Not only is it elementally redundant because it resides above a door, to the right of 2 other exit signs, but also, once one passes those two other signs it is no longer in natural view.
So, that said:
1) an exit sign above an exit door was installed.
2) but it was not visible to those who forgot how they got in so they installed a 2nd sign clearly visible in the hall.
3) which was not DC compatible so they installed a 3rd sign in case of eletrical failure.
Can we get this person some story solvent? You poor dear – there, there, we’ll have you unstuck in a jiff – WHERE THE #&$^ IS THAT *#*&, WE AIN’T GETTIN’ ANY YOUNGER HERE!! Sorry, must remember to use our inside voices, mustn’t we? So sorry.
Not a fail, morons. Those are the kind o signs that light up during a fire. When the halls are thick with black smoke, there’s no such thing as too many exit signs.
Hey there, Jess, how about a short lesson in Fire Behavior: the byproducts of fire, mainly carbonaceous smoke, CO, CO2 and HCN, are all superheated by the latent heat of combustion. This heat causes the said products to rise, forming a dense layer of smoke in the upper areas of a room or hallway. If you happen to notice that these signs are all in the upper third of the hallway, vertically speaking, they would most likely be obscured by the “thick black smoke”. Now, how do you propose that these signs are helpful in that situation? (Oh, and before you come back with some internet researched answer, I’m a career firefighter and teach fire behavior. I know the code requiring signage.)
Don’t worry about it. This is a subject that you would know more about than virtually anyone else who comes here. So, it figures that you would have something to say.
Real battle axe, eh? I know there’s away to deal with them, really there is. It requires one to be just as bitchy though. I will admit to resorting to it.
Not so much being mean, just constant complaining. She is around my wife every second of the day. She is even in the bathroom with her when she is getting ready for work. She is her sister and we love her and feel bad for her but CHRIST. I went to the store with my wife last weekend, pulled around behind the store and pretended to run out of gas. Stupid fuel injectors wouldn’t let me flood the car so it started up again. My wife thanked me for the effort.
Yowza. I would throttle her. I wouldn’t be able to deal with that. There’s got to be a way to get some private time. Set her up on a date. Key words “set her up”!
Yeah, we encouraged the date thing until she told us she met some guy on the internet and was going to meet him at a motel bar! I had to threaten to follow her to get her to call it off. Her head is not in the right place for dating yet.
Dear god! That’s not too safe a thing to do! Granted, nearly every bar in my area is in a hotel. But still! Please tell me that this was in a great big city and the hotel in question is something like the Plaza-esque.
Unfortunately no. It is a know hook-up palace on the Island.
.
All is not lost, she is working three days a week now and she has gone to her daughter’s house for dinner here and there. Of course those are the nights our kids decide to stay home because it is sister-in-law free. I think next weekend I am going to give her some money and tell her to take my kids to the movies. That would probably embarrass the hell out of all four women in my house.
Here is a true story about my sisters luck at internet dating.
He was wonderful. He was perfect. He was rich. He was “The One”.
They arranged to meet.
On the day they were to meet she gets a call from the police. They got her number off of his computer. He is under arrest for swindling other women and possibly murder.
Dates off.
Tell that to your sister-in-law a hope that it puts her on her gaurd.
Thank you Coyote. I will tell her. She is still conversing with this clown and when my wife questions her she gets very defensive. She will not even discuss it with me any longer.
That should read “…and hope…”.
It does make it an uphill battle for the decent sorts, especially if one is of a quieter disposition. Sometimes it seems that females only go for the blustering jerks.
Not all of us Coyote. Not all of us. Some of have learned the hard way that those guys are bad news. The blustering jerks that is. What kills me is there are so many women looking for men out there. And there are so many men looking for women out there. Why are we not looking in the same places? And bars don’t count.
Time for me to hit the hay as well.
Good night Avis. Enjoy your date.
.
Yes Coyote, that does seem to be the way of things. I always tell my daughters it is a self respect issue. If you think you have to put up with bad treatment to be accepted that is what you will get.
I only translate it one way, the right way. You can mount anything with practice and a little lube. Shoot, one time I saw Mookie mount an Easy Bake Oven while it was turned on.
They have black light sensitive tattoo ink. It’s not legal in every state. Something about the phosphorus in it. They think it causes cancer. Never mind that phosphorus is EXACTLY what they inject into your BLOODSTREAM when you get an MRI.
Oh yeah. I once had an MRI and felt sick for 2 weeks afterwards, and my whole body was covered with little pimples filled with that poison my body was trying to get out. Ewwwwwww.
I didn’t get that, but it did sting like hell when they injected it. That wasn’t the worst part. The worst part was that it wasn’t the open kind of MRI. And I am a wee bit claustrophobic.
wouldn’t this be a redundancy win? i mean think about it, if it were a redundancy fail, i would not be as redundant as these redundant signs are. I think it’s a redundancy win
There’s a Starbucks in my neighborhood that has a little sandwich board out front (of the “CAUTION- WET FLOOR” type), which says STARBUCKS COFFEE across the top on both sides, above the green round Starbucks logo which also says Starbucks Coffee (in the outer ring). That same logo also appears on both of the double doors, as well as each of the two flanking windows. It also says STARBUCKS COFFEE in regular text above the double doors. That’s right… NINE occurrences of “STARBUCKS COFFEE” before you even get in the gee dee place.
So, where’s the exit?
Easier for blind people to find the exit this way…
Yeah, cause if they missed the first sign, the blind people would surely see the second or third sign.
Unless they’re nearsighted, then they would see the giant sign that doesn’t fit in the picture.
Or the three signs in Braille that don’t fit in the picture.
giant braille, for the blind with giant fingers.
IT’S REDUNDANCY WIN!
i came here to say that too
Say that 5 other places and you will get your douchebag starter kit.
Does the kit include the optional enema attachment?
In that case i believe “berg” has earned his, he has said that far more than 5 times already.
hey i came here to say that too
Defiantly a redundancy win.
FIRST
Ah. perfect timing! I wanted to test out my new tazer.
*tazes cacapeepee*

that’s right, I just triforced this post!
Chuck Norris???
The Master? like The Master Baiter?
This is a nucking redundancy WIN.
Where the F*** is my extinguisher? Someone nabbed it!
that would have been fire extinguisher swinger, further dwon this fail….
my bad, i was hungry.
Oh, redundancy win, redundancy fail….. let’s call it redundancy.

No, this is totally mislabeled. This is a redundancy win.
or not
Me, too. It’s redundant, therefore a redundancy WIN.
I have to agree…
It would only be a fail if one of them pointed the wrong way, or if they didn’t identify the exit properly -_- thus it IS a redundancy, which IS what a redundancy IS.
As did I!
As did I.
Wouldn’t it be a redundancy fail if the signs all pointed in different directions?
Plus the Flashing Strobe and Waving Orange Flags and the Mimes.
For the love of god, don’t forget the Mimes!!!

That’s why I brought the mimesweeper.

…
The pills are working, he calms down.
It makes me always sad when you have to put them to sleep =( But let face it they are trolls.
Yes, let.
LOL!
well you know that moment between them losing consciousness and dying? that’s a great time to have consenting sex with them and you can’t get in trouble for necrophilia but you can catch STD (stupid troll disease)
I see you know from experience. Too bad there’s no cure.
Not to put too fine a point on it, if the other party is NOT conscious, it’s NOT consensual.
uh huh. and since when have you ever stuck to this rule? or that be more suited to ry? hmmm? just curious.
*swings extinguisher*
“Extinguisher Swinger”
Sounds like a profession. You get paid well? Or are you doing it for free because you love troll-whacking? =)
No no, you have it wrong. It means he and his extinguisher meet up with other mixed couples like them and they trade partners. Sometimes you don’t want to cheat but you need some strange nozzle on the side. This way, his extinguisher is getting some as well. It’s a lifestyle they choose, you don’t have to agree just accept.
LOL
dude! it looks like your having a big “O” moment there,
did you meet up with the extinguisher couple?
DUDE you stole my extinguisher! WTF?
its a subtle way of saying “GTFO!!”
Wouldn’t this a redundancy win? Someone should check with the Department of Redunancy Department.
definatly not that way—->
Triple First!
(or umpteenth
)
no reason to get exited…
just trying to keep it somewhat related to the pic
(I’ll take 2nd tho, haven’t been anywhere this close to first before)
As for the fail itself, they should’ve eliminated the middle sign.
Either way, you just came this close to become a first troll.
You have been warned.
That’s what she said.
And here is a triple fist.
*punches with three hands*
That’s what she said
!!!
or he… or thats what he did… no wait… now im confused
You should be, after I tazed you for that ghastly performance.
Get out, get out, get out now!
Are they trying to tell me something?
They’re trying to tell you “hit the road, Jack” and “don’t go away mad, just go away” and “don’t let the door hit ya where the good lord has split ya” and “why don’t you make like a tree and leaf”. I don’t know why they can’t be clear about it.
Just hop on the bus, Marius, we don’t need to discuss much…
So they want me to take a powder, put an egg in my shoe and beat it, make like a banana and split?
They want you off like a dirty shirt. Or out like a fat kid in dodgeball.
They want you to make like a shepard and get the flock out of here, be off like a prom dress and make like a Michael Jackson and beat it.
(I would remove that superfluous “a” but we’re talking redundancy and superfluity and redundancy today, so I’m adding another “a”).
Let me get this straight, I should hit the bricks, go find Godot, screw off?
Make like a nose and run, be out like Grandpa’s teeth, make like a fart and blow.
Make like Diarrhea and run.
Ew… If they make like Diarrhea and run who has to mop up?
The resident trolls.
So Berg then?
Well, yes, and also mr sausage, DrDr, urwrong, and many others.
At least the janitorial staff can take the night off with all the
trolls providing free labor.
Indeed, and the great thing is, there’s an endless supply of these trolls!
When we’ve tazed them and let them spend a month in the troll cage, they’re tame enough to order around.
Hhmm, that sounds like it could be turned into a lucrative business.
People could rent trolls to perform unsavory jobs.
Now if only some one could think of a clever name for it the cash would roll inn…
*feeds extra “n” to the trolls*
I don’t know why that happened.
Trolls: every household should have one.
And I came waaaaay too late to the party to do any real stomping.
Damn.
Don’t let PETA find out…
Yer dnt let the extinguisher thief find out either… i’m pissed off, THAT IS MY Weapon!!!
Flake off, piss off, sod off. . . should I feel unwanted?
Don’t go away mad, just go away.

(just kidding, Marius, it’s good to see familiar avatars here today… it’s been s.l..o…w….)
*raises one eyebrow*
Slow? Hopefully not any more!
*sings* “I’m comin’ up so you better get this party started…”
*hugs Avis and Mookie*
(doesn’t dare sing, the computer screen would shatter…)
*hums*
There’s a party at ground Zero,
a B-movie starring you…
Oooh! Group hug! *passes out party hats* *pours booze*
*hugs*
Just what kind of party hat are you talking about anyway?
*guzzles booze*
Bad day. REALLY bad day.
How ’bout one of those hats that holds your drink, and has the two straws coming down. That should facilitate the entry of booze.
Bad day? What happened?
Family drama. As per usual. I make dinner for the folks, and my step father decided he didn’t like the conversation. So he started and argument. I’lll take one of those party hats gladly!
Ugh. Family. I moved 700 miles away from mine. Much better.
Unfortunately, my current medical situation means I need to be close to mine.
*sigh*
*extra hugs for Avis*
Sorry you had a crappy day, you can have my share too if it helps!
Thank you! But I’d hate to drink alone. And it was just another Sunday here in my family. It happens like this. Every week just about.

Lots of family stuff this weekend.
Hi Marius! Have a hat! Take two, they’re small!
Where’s Ryannon? We need someone to jump out of this cake…
I’m still making the butter cream but LB ran out of eggs.
Give him a minute and see if he can lay again.
He’s getting old, he needs downtime between sessions.
*puts on “Diver Down”* Ah, memories…
I’ll do it.
Make like a baby and head out.
Make like a baby and head out even.
Exit! Exit!! EXIT! *smacks on wall*
*Hits him with the “exit” sign*
Hey, anyone know where the exit is?
Just click the link on the top of the page that says “Lolcats”. Bye!
or the even more disgraceful site: “Loldogs”
Or, perhaps the absolute bottom of the barrel: “Lolcelebs”
Nah, keep digging, and you’ll find: “Nostaligic Win”
Dig even further, and you’ll find “funny look-alikes”.
Ew. Forgot about that one… that truly IS the creepiest of them all.
Nope. I’m sorry LB but LOL News & Politics is the creepiest.
It’s a cruel trick played on gullible people Crucial.

BTW I think it’s RUSTY.
His ear lobe fell in the deep
pssst, Marius.. it’s “rusted”. Not “rusty”.
Okay, I have listened to that phrase on my CD approximately fifteen times and the most I will concede is “rusteh”.
Well. Had you listened to me performing the song after some vodka shots, you would have definitely heard “WHASTAD!!!”

itd be better fail if there was no door there
right, this is rather a redundancy WIN

Heh. Maybe a minimalism fail?

“E-ppriciation”, new online content from the guys who brought you “Life Fail” http://failblog.org/2009/01/20/life-fail/#comments

I was thinking kind of the same thing!

Wouldn’t that be categorised as a redundancy win?

Well not to be redundant, but it IS a redundancy win.
This picture came from the department of redundancy department.

I would go to the office of the director of the department of redundancy department, if only I knew how to get out of here and go to his office. We really need more Exit signs.
You can have more exit signs, just fill out these six identical forms in triplicate, copy each one six times, sign all of the forms and copies in blue ink, copy the signed copies twice, and submit them to the budgetary review office to ensure they are not “wasteful spending”.
OMG Lunch, I think we work for the same company!
Why, you’re a federal employee too??
No but she has been to prison on occasion.
But only for conjugal visits with her brother Bubba.

Everyone who reads that comment should be doing that
It’s behind the RSS icon.
No it’s not. Everyone knows it’s right behind you. With GOOGLE on it.
I just drove by Google on my way to buy Dead tickets. Aren’t these signs in Budapest?
No, but the tickets are in my pants.
I didn’t know fish wore pants
We wear pants and fish tanks.
Fish tanks are all the rage in Europe this time of year.
Mookie refused to wear one, said it made her ass look big.
That’s exactly what I thought
I thought the same thing!
the redundancy is redundantly redundant
that’s what I thought!
berg, i think by now we know how you stand on the win/fail of redundancy featured in this picture, but thanks anyway
What they don’t say is that it is a closet behind the door!
English isn’t my native language but I think this is a grammar emergency
Well, not exactly an emergency, but horrifying nevertheless.
It’s not redundant – the signs are like water fountains – one for normal people, one for giants, and one for people with heads tipped sharply to the left.
Handicapped facilities fail
That’s very discriminating. All the people with heads tipped sharply to the right won’t be able to find their way out.
No – they have their own exit on the other side of the hallway, complete with three more signs.
I’d call this an Inspector Fail. He obviously didn’t tell them the correct spot for the sign in the first place.
Actually the inspector insisted on three signs because with only two, people were exiting the building through windows.
Do you think the outside of the building has an equally superfluous configuration of “Entrance” signs – I’m thinking with Vegas-style neon arrows – as well?
I think if the same Romanian contractors got that gig it’s quite possible!
haha hating on romanians still because of the previous fail?
If somebody missed those 3 exit signs, they are offically blind
It’s a redundancy WIN.
It’s a redundancy WIN.
I know. That’s what I thought!
I know. That’s what I thought!
I know. That’s what I thought!
really?
really?
really?
I recognize that the redundancy joke is totally apt here, but after how many instances of it do we get to bring out the anti-troll weapons?
It’s never too early.
someone got billed 3 different times for this
I wonder if two doors in the building lack an exit sign for whatever reason.
or there are two other doors not seen..
Exit exit exit exit exit exit exit exit. Exit of what?
Exit of Eden.
East of Eden?
Barbara Eden?
Barbara’s Bush.
Bush’s Baked Beans
Barbara Walters?
I don’t don’t don’t don’t don’t don’t don’t know.
I tend to think that would be redundancy win rather than redundancy fail
I said and thought the same thing! What a coincidence!
And a new classification of douchebaggery has been created…
Those who boast about their own unoriginality get a douchebaggery class for their enjoyment?
His even has a name. It is the douchebergery classification.

Say it taint so!
Berg has rect(um) every thread he’s posted on so far today!
Tell him to scat.
No kidding! He’s such a party pooper.
And look what he did to this place! It’s a dump!
Posting here can be such a crap-shoot.
That Depends on when you’re on… there’s a load of trolls on today, that’s for sure.
He thinks he runs with the big dogs but he poops out too early and resorts to shitty repeats.
He’d best keep his crappy attitude on the porch.
Tell him to sit on that stool and wait ’til he’s called.
with your post?
I was thinking that, actually.
do you happen to think anything without saying it?
This just proves how much better exit signs are than enter signs.
meh. Exit signs are of themselves redundant because once you found your way in (with the ‘Enter’ sign) you already know how to get out.
You must be that person going the wrong way in the fast food drivethru…
My life defined: In through the out door.
It’s the vicar!
Look at the picture: position is already adopted!
Unless it is a maze.
Or a prison.
Or Ryannon’s *%+@. Men have been lost at sea there.
I hear that she have the exit signs located near the G-spot, just to ensure nobody is leaving before time is due.
Yes, the sign is right by the toll booth.
If you have a map, we should make printouts and earn some money. There is a market for that!
I don’t have a map, but this metal detector may help us follow the money trail.
I have a flashlight, it may be useful.
Don’t forget the bug spray and waders.
I have lost 3 good men on my last expedition there! 3 good men!
This bug spray has a label that reads KY.
Uh… damelo… vamos a necesitarlo mas tarde…
Siempre llevo un envase de repuesto.
On second thought, we’re not going to need it.
I like when you think green. Good for the planet, good for us.
Excuse me. But are you people done exploring my hoo-hoo?
I don’t know. Are you close?
Are you drenched yet?
thats like saying, doors are redundant if you always have a wrecking ball.
a wrecking ball (used for entry) is redundant if there is a door, and in both cases an ‘exit’ sign is redundant once you know your way in.
hahaha funny
till your in a fire.
you’re grammars are in my pocket!
Wouldn’t it help in a fire?
Maybe trying to fill their quota of emergency exit signs??? hmmmmm
hey wait, this is a closet!
Shouldn’t it be “redundancy win” really?
I will say that the most redundant of the three signs is the one above the door. Not only is it elementally redundant because it resides above a door, to the right of 2 other exit signs, but also, once one passes those two other signs it is no longer in natural view.
So, that said:
1) an exit sign above an exit door was installed.
2) but it was not visible to those who forgot how they got in so they installed a 2nd sign clearly visible in the hall.
3) which was not DC compatible so they installed a 3rd sign in case of eletrical failure.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
We have to get you a girlfriend. Seriously.
I think I know someone… but maybe I’m barking up the wrong tree.
Can we get this person some story solvent? You poor dear – there, there, we’ll have you unstuck in a jiff – WHERE THE #&$^ IS THAT *#*&, WE AIN’T GETTIN’ ANY YOUNGER HERE!! Sorry, must remember to use our inside voices, mustn’t we? So sorry.
They just really want you guys to leave, OK? Instead of being rude about it, they use a little redundancy to make sure you get the message.
I think its a trap….
it’s obvious
isn’t it?
Not a fail, morons. Those are the kind o signs that light up during a fire. When the halls are thick with black smoke, there’s no such thing as too many exit signs.
Kind o signs? Are you Irish?
Signs o the times.
Hey there, Jess, how about a short lesson in Fire Behavior: the byproducts of fire, mainly carbonaceous smoke, CO, CO2 and HCN, are all superheated by the latent heat of combustion. This heat causes the said products to rise, forming a dense layer of smoke in the upper areas of a room or hallway. If you happen to notice that these signs are all in the upper third of the hallway, vertically speaking, they would most likely be obscured by the “thick black smoke”. Now, how do you propose that these signs are helpful in that situation? (Oh, and before you come back with some internet researched answer, I’m a career firefighter and teach fire behavior. I know the code requiring signage.)
^what an arsehole, eh? Just re-read my comment, and it doesn’t come off anything like what I intended…
Don’t worry about it. This is a subject that you would know more about than virtually anyone else who comes here. So, it figures that you would have something to say.
I think it was the ‘morons’ in Jess’s post that set me off. Besides, when do I not have something to say? lol, of course…
I’m just sorry that I missed so many of the trolls. I need to glower, but I need someone to glower AT! I don’t want to damage just ANYONE.
I volunteer my sister-in-law Avis.
(Yes, she is still here.)
*SNERT*
A little annoying is she?
Not to me, I am big and scary.
I think she is killing my wife.
Real battle axe, eh? I know there’s away to deal with them, really there is. It requires one to be just as bitchy though. I will admit to resorting to it.
Not so much being mean, just constant complaining. She is around my wife every second of the day. She is even in the bathroom with her when she is getting ready for work. She is her sister and we love her and feel bad for her but CHRIST. I went to the store with my wife last weekend, pulled around behind the store and pretended to run out of gas. Stupid fuel injectors wouldn’t let me flood the car so it started up again. My wife thanked me for the effort.
Yowza. I would throttle her. I wouldn’t be able to deal with that. There’s got to be a way to get some private time. Set her up on a date. Key words “set her up”!
Yeah, we encouraged the date thing until she told us she met some guy on the internet and was going to meet him at a motel bar! I had to threaten to follow her to get her to call it off. Her head is not in the right place for dating yet.
Dear god! That’s not too safe a thing to do! Granted, nearly every bar in my area is in a hotel. But still! Please tell me that this was in a great big city and the hotel in question is something like the Plaza-esque.
Unfortunately no. It is a know hook-up palace on the Island.
.
All is not lost, she is working three days a week now and she has gone to her daughter’s house for dinner here and there. Of course those are the nights our kids decide to stay home because it is sister-in-law free. I think next weekend I am going to give her some money and tell her to take my kids to the movies. That would probably embarrass the hell out of all four women in my house.
Here is a true story about my sisters luck at internet dating.
He was wonderful. He was perfect. He was rich. He was “The One”.
They arranged to meet.
On the day they were to meet she gets a call from the police. They got her number off of his computer. He is under arrest for swindling other women and possibly murder.
Dates off.
Tell that to your sister-in-law a hope that it puts her on her gaurd.
Dating is, under the best circumstances, a dangerous game. Internet dating seems like russian roulette!
Thank you Coyote. I will tell her. She is still conversing with this clown and when my wife questions her she gets very defensive. She will not even discuss it with me any longer.
And on that note, it’s time for me to get going. I need sleep!! I need to rest up for my date tomorrow!
That should read “…and hope…”.
It does make it an uphill battle for the decent sorts, especially if one is of a quieter disposition. Sometimes it seems that females only go for the blustering jerks.
Not all of us Coyote. Not all of us. Some of have learned the hard way that those guys are bad news. The blustering jerks that is. What kills me is there are so many women looking for men out there. And there are so many men looking for women out there. Why are we not looking in the same places? And bars don’t count.
Time for me to hit the hay as well.
Good night Avis. Enjoy your date.
.
Yes Coyote, that does seem to be the way of things. I always tell my daughters it is a self respect issue. If you think you have to put up with bad treatment to be accepted that is what you will get.
Good night to the two of you. I’m off to bed myself. Avis your use of the phrase “what kills me” could have been better.
*Snort*
Moron? Moi?
You’re going to Spain? Say ‘Hi’ to Lou for us, won’t you?
When I come up for air, sure.
Wait. I thought you were meeting him in NJ. You said you were going to kiss Lou in a very dirty place and I assumed that you were going to Newark.
Exit? More like Exodus.
What’s so exciting about a display at an exit sign store? They’re just demonstrating all the ways the sign can be mounted.
That last statement can be interpreted in two different ways. Just ask our resident innuendo translators, Ryannon and Mookie.
I only translate it one way, the right way. You can mount anything with practice and a little lube. Shoot, one time I saw Mookie mount an Easy Bake Oven while it was turned on.
Yeah, but tell him who ate the soggy cookies when we were done.
*cough*15 year old*cough*
That’s the door to the bathroom.
never can be too safe . . .
Exit.
(okay)
Exit.
(Yeah, I got it.)
Exit.
(I F@!KING GOT IT OK?!)
Seriously, GO THIS WAY PEOPLE!!!!!!
The Failblog monster must be pretty hungry today. There have been very few comments in the past thirty minutes.
At least someone here had an Exit Strategy
Why fail? Looks like a redundancy WIN to me.
Actually, I think it is redundancy win.
AHHHHHHHHHH!!!
*runs out of the room, screaming*
Exits clearly marked in your room then?
They are.
*crashes into wall*
Oh, stop! I can’t breathe! *wipes tears from eyes*
i cant find the entrance
I can feel the outside,
but I can’t feel the inside.
If I had a dollar for everytime I heard that said in the dark…
I think you need a tattoo reading “This End Up.”
Glow in the dark tattoos? Eureka!
*rushes off to patent office*
I’ll call them Tramp Lamps! I’m rich! I’m rich!!!
They have black light sensitive tattoo ink. It’s not legal in every state. Something about the phosphorus in it. They think it causes cancer. Never mind that phosphorus is EXACTLY what they inject into your BLOODSTREAM when you get an MRI.
Oh yeah. I once had an MRI and felt sick for 2 weeks afterwards, and my whole body was covered with little pimples filled with that poison my body was trying to get out. Ewwwwwww.
I didn’t get that, but it did sting like hell when they injected it. That wasn’t the worst part. The worst part was that it wasn’t the open kind of MRI. And I am a wee bit claustrophobic.
hey, paws off! no, not you… you!
Don’t be ashamed, Chris, just ask her for help… I’m sure she’ll guide you in.
Yo dawg!
I heard you like exiting so we put an exit sign on your exit sign you can exit when you see the exit sign!!
good read, love the site
See more lol at – > lolatreality.com
No thanks, we already have a site for that. It’s called FailBlog.
Well, if you ask me (and nobody has), this is a redundancy WIN.
Right, it’s like a triple negative, which makes it not redundant. Caption fail…
Is this a new subspecies in the troll family? Redundancy-WIN trolls?
I EAT TROLLS
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, GET IN THE CAR!!! IT’S A CANNIBAL!!!
It’s okay. I eat cannibals.
Definite fail.
Not according to berg, emmaJ, Mrs. Z, TJ and many others.
That’s not really a fail. In my book thats a win.
BTW 300th:)
That’s not really a fail. In my book thats a win.
Will people ever stop writing that?
“Ok…I’m not clear…Is THAT the exit???”
Looks like the last level of Portal, a design GLaDOS would have done.
exit pl0x
EXIT X3 = EXIT RIGHT HERE YOU DUMB****!
The ironic thing is that the building doesn’t have any entrances.
this is actually a redundancy win
Okay, Bush has left the White House. Take ‘em down, boys!
FTW!!! Okay, recaption that puppy!
dang ! an epic win..not fail..lol
Redundancy, you are actually doing it right.
wouldn’t this be a redundancy win? i mean think about it, if it were a redundancy fail, i would not be as redundant as these redundant signs are. I think it’s a redundancy win
There’s a Starbucks in my neighborhood that has a little sandwich board out front (of the “CAUTION- WET FLOOR” type), which says STARBUCKS COFFEE across the top on both sides, above the green round Starbucks logo which also says Starbucks Coffee (in the outer ring). That same logo also appears on both of the double doors, as well as each of the two flanking windows. It also says STARBUCKS COFFEE in regular text above the double doors. That’s right… NINE occurrences of “STARBUCKS COFFEE” before you even get in the gee dee place.
Yeah this thing is like that thing.
and i still dont know where the exit is, dammit!
i dunno lol sometimes 1 sign just isn’t enough to get the point across…
… would’ve been cheaper to just paint GTFO on the wall…
._.6
Maybe we do need that because of the next one?
Now i will never get….. i forgot where the exit is
No seriously, there’s an exit.
Wow … I just realised that this picture was taken in the office I work at …
it’s actually a redundancy WIN…
