Oops. I thought the woman was the driver. Fail on my part. Sorry. And I don’t have any medieval torture devices, thank you very much.
I guess the comment still wouldn’t make much sense, but I’d rather get hit by a woman than a gay person.
What i don’t get is… the person who submitted this fail is most likely from Manly. Why would he/she see this kind of stuff in the local paper all the time?
We live near Manly, Iowa which is also close to Fertile, Iowa…which leads to our favorite local headline… “The Manly Man Married the Fertile Woman”. It’s Iowa, it takes little to amuse us.
Manly is a town 20 minutes from where I grew up. The funnier thing is that there is another town down the road named Fertile……Needless to say a while back there was a wedding announcement of a Manly man to wed Fertile woman.
I’m from Des Moines and I’m familiar with Manly, because it’s near where all my family lives. Iowa for the win!!!! I also can’t believe that people still remember the “Manly Man Marries Fertile Woman” from before my time. My mom told me about that story back in the day.
No, it does not. It makes no sense that we should think that describing someone as living in the town they live in is a fail. As someone else posted above, since whoever submitted this must see it all the time, they are the last person who should think it’s a fail — and I live nowhere near any town called Manly and yet immediately understood the meaning of the headline and how it was not a fail.
It is, too, funny.
The fact that we realize they were referring to a place of residence and didn’t intend to say that the lady was “manly”, although it sounds as if they did, is what makes it funny.

Sorry if I offended any of your “Peeps”. Just so I know, can I have a list of names – I mean, who are the “peeps”? It appears that Arthur thinks you are lame(?).

Here I thought I was just cooler than everyone else.
Oh and to the troll in our midst, supply us with names of all your extended family members and we might consider reciprocating (uh-oh, big word … we’ll wait while you look it up).
*Jeopardy theme plays*
Actually, we don’t have a list. We just know. Isn’t that creepy?

Now see, it’s only a troll comment if the commenter IS NOT a regular. NS is TOTALLY a regular and therefore any comment she chooses to make is in the clear.
You, Cletis, are wrong. And we own Turrets nothing.
*attempts to clarify that comment*
The non-sequitur type comment is really only trollish if uttered/typed by a non-regular. And even then, only if it is in the middle of an established thread.
OMG – you “peeps” take this sh1t WAY too seriously. LOL… Sorry – I guess I came to the wrong place to make a funny… And thanks for the backup Cletis & Arthur!

Sure, the wording’s a bit weird… But… It’s still (Place) (Gender).
You don’t brand ‘Yorkshire man’ or ‘Kent Woman’ a fail do you? This isn’t a typo or anything, it’s just a 4 second copy-paste article to say a woman was injured in a car accident in Manly.
Maybe… ‘Common sense fail’ or ’2 year old sense of humor win’ would be a better way of explaining just what the logic is behind this.
(Yes, I know. I had to go ruin the fun by pulling logic into it.)
I live on the Northern Beaches but I still find Manly jokes funny. My brother went to Manly Selective Campus and they had a pretend beauty pageant called “Miss Manly”. Now there’s a crown I wouldn’t want to win.
I told her to tone down on the muscle enhancement!
but the manly woman wouldn’t listen
We’re her to pump [clap] you down.
*here here
We’re here to fluff (snap) you up.
We’re here to stuff {zip} it in.
We’re here to tuck (stretch) it back.
This is why woman are not allowed to read the Manly Manual.
For everyone else –
Turn to page 6,431 in your Manly Manual and repeat after me….
I will just sit right there until you dudes finish.
I always do love a girl who is direct and to the point.
wonder woman?
win
Mainly manly women made madly mardy?
I’m just sayin’, some mainly manly body has some splainin’ to do ’bout all that trainin’ and sprainin’.
*snork*
Manly woman. So that’s a thing now?
I know. We used to call it Rosy O’Donnell Syndrome .
We have a town around here called Licking…”A Licking man was arrested today for…”
Better than a girly man.

What freaking difference does it make WHO hits you if you’ve been in an accident??!!!!???!
So to you, “unlikeable qualities” = “nice”??
Weird.

There is a place in australia called Manly!
Death Valley in California was once filled by a lake called Lake Manly. A high point in the valley is now known as Manly Beacon.
What i don’t get is… the person who submitted this fail is most likely from Manly. Why would he/she see this kind of stuff in the local paper all the time?
We live near Manly, Iowa which is also close to Fertile, Iowa…which leads to our favorite local headline… “The Manly Man Married the Fertile Woman”. It’s Iowa, it takes little to amuse us.
Ever had a Manly woman marry a fertile man?
Yeah, and their footy team is made of women.
You mean the team that won the premiership in 2008? And then lost to Melbourne in 2009 because… oh yeah, they were cheating?
Still a better team though. The under 18′s, under 20′s and premiers all Won in ’09, still over all better coaching. Ps: manly suck. lol
There are several places in Australia called Manly; one each in Queensland and New South Wales. Probably more, as well.
dude…thats where this article is from idiot!
Yeah I live a couple of suburbs away, to be honest I have never even thought of Manly used this way. What has been seen cannot be unseen.
Manly is a town 20 minutes from where I grew up. The funnier thing is that there is another town down the road named Fertile……Needless to say a while back there was a wedding announcement of a Manly man to wed Fertile woman.
You must be from Iowa…
Clear Laker here…
I happen to be from that area as well… in fact I was about to say what the first person said but they beat me to it. Kinda funny…
I’m from Des Moines and I’m familiar with Manly, because it’s near where all my family lives. Iowa for the win!!!! I also can’t believe that people still remember the “Manly Man Marries Fertile Woman” from before my time. My mom told me about that story back in the day.
Doh! I should have read more of the comments! I just put up the Manly/Fertile joke! LOL! Mason Citizian here! Happy to see so many Iowans here!
They say “Manly” like it’s some kind of personal insult to this injury person.
I lol’d.
I’m just glad it wasn’t vehicular manly slaughter.
a lesbian can be manly just like how a gay guy can be womanly. it makes sense.
I’m just glad it wasn’t a femme fatale accident.
No, it does not. It makes no sense that we should think that describing someone as living in the town they live in is a fail. As someone else posted above, since whoever submitted this must see it all the time, they are the last person who should think it’s a fail — and I live nowhere near any town called Manly and yet immediately understood the meaning of the headline and how it was not a fail.
Manly is a place in Australia. Nothing funny about this
Yeah, I just read it as a Woman from Manly, not funny at all. Fail Blog Fail! Also, Go The Warriors
Having lived in Sydney for 5 years, I had to read the article 3 times before I realised why it was a fail. I guess you just get used to things…
everywhere else in the world it’s f**king hilarious!
It is, too, funny.
The fact that we realize they were referring to a place of residence and didn’t intend to say that the lady was “manly”, although it sounds as if they did, is what makes it funny.
I remember taking a photo of a marker at Big Manly Beach in New Zealand. I must say, Little Manly Beach isn’t half as impressive.
Meh. Beaches are all the same.
I didn’t know you were called Dennis.
Hello. My name is Nightshayde, and I am addicted to salt & vinegar potato crisps.
Tell your boss you have a dire personal emergency to attend to and rush off to the nearest store to replenish your stock!
I had a chocolate muffin yesterday and complained about it and what do I do today? Eat (and still nommin) a chocolate muffin!
I told the ladies here NOT to let me out of their sights tomorrow.
Thanks to modern science fiction, you can have many unlives to enjoy. But even still, you only live once so why not enjoy it to the fullest extent?
8)
STFU!
You’re a moron troll!
She said salt and vinegar, not piss and vinegar. And, you misspelled “Tourette’s”.
‘xuse me AA.
*borrows Gracie’s pink bat and beats the living daylights outta Turrets*
*squeeze*
Thanks, Leila.
It also neglected to use proper punctuation.
What can you expect from a troll, though?
Noises from beneath overpasses?
Oh, Gracie!!!! DW!!!! A little help, please??
I may have missed a spot or two.
Why are we whispering?
*sigh*
Such a great *FOOOOM!!*-ing opportunity missed.
*kitteh-squeeze*
Sorry, I was otherwise occupied at that time. Next time I’ll try to be here with that whale.
Some Trolls Find Understanding?
Silly Turrets – Fuming Ungulate?
Stoopid Troll – freakin’ unbelievable?
Sorry – thought Nightshade was a troll. How can you tell the differnce?
Look in the mirror perhaps? I dunno.
No, seriously guys… Look at the comment
“Hello. My name is Nightshayde, and I am addicted to salt & vinegar potato crisps.
I just ate the last one. Now what am I going to do?”
Isn’t that something a troll would say? I mean, hey – you gotta give me THAT.
Do you “peeps” work for this website?
Yes. And we make a sh!tload of money. Jealous?
psst! Arthur! Check with payroll. They offer direct deposit now. Quicker, more convenient, and none of the offensive odor.
Pecunia non olet.
No Arthur, not jealous. I was just thinking of starting my own clique here. One not so lame as these peeps, perhaps. You seem pretty cool, wanna join?
And he knows Latin! He’s the hit of every toga party.
Noooo, Arthur speaks European which in turns makes him cool. 8)
Speaking European = cool
Failpeep = lame
Now what?
Sorry if I offended any of your “Peeps”. Just so I know, can I have a list of names – I mean, who are the “peeps”? It appears that Arthur thinks you are lame(?).
Direct deposit? Offensive odor?? Is that why they offered it to me first?

Ah. Pronoun trouble. Happens so often here. Change “you are” to “I am ” in your post and you’ve got it.

Hello, Nightshayde.
Are you aware that potatoes and nightshade come from the same family? Potato crisps are family, not food. *nods*
*runsawaycrying*
You really shouldn’t be hanging tomatoes upside down, either.
Oh, that? That’s just until they see the error of their ways.
They’ll ketchup in no time.
Dammit, it’s about an hour to lunch and I’m already hungry. Now is not the time to be talking about food!
Um … well then, I’ll have to be ok with eating family members with whom I’m not acquainted. I can’t POSSIBLY stop eating potatoes.
SHE HAD A D*CK !!!!
No, the dock was in the last fail.
Some people are just slower than others.
I think he’s talking about her pet duck.
Oh.. was his name Richard?
Quite possibly
that’s why she crossed the street
too do the duck?
Maybe it was her pet duck named Richard on the deck near the dock.
Manly enough to beat the editor stupid I hope.

Hey, have you been lost?

Still am. Mostly.

I’m not really sure this is a fail.
Sure, the wording’s a bit weird… But… It’s still (Place) (Gender).

*snork*
Aussie Humour …
“Saw me hubby in his Speedos yesterday. His chest reminded me of Bondi Beach”.
“Oh, really?”
“Yes, far from Manly”
Well ACTUALLY… looking purely at the beaches, Bondi is the next one down from Manly…
… no, it’s not. If you mean ‘south’, then it’s Camp Cove beach in Lady Bay. There’s a bunch of beaches in the eastern suburbs north of Bondi.
Ocean beaches facing beaches…
What fail? I need to know I should feel sorry or not.
My Mom lives in Flippin AR. Yeah they endure a lot of jokes, but she paid 60k for a four bdrm custom built house (I know – but it’s Arkinsawwww).
This poor woman – is the Doris the bearded lady from the circus. I know she gets emotional if you stare at the beard.
Manly is a city north of Sydney, smart ones!
Manly is also an eastern suburb of Brisbane.
That reminds me of the local headline -Fertile Woman Dies in Climax. Fertile and Climax both being towns.
The town she was from was called Manly. hilarious though
I live on the Northern Beaches but I still find Manly jokes funny. My brother went to Manly Selective Campus and they had a pretend beauty pageant called “Miss Manly”. Now there’s a crown I wouldn’t want to win.
Not sure if this is from Manly, IA, but this town was near where I grew up. A neighboring town is “Fertile”.
Local lore has it that there was once a headline that read “Manly Man Marries Fertile Woman”.
Scroll up. Apparently there are a lot of people from that little area making comments. OK, maybe more like a handful, but still…
Anyway, I once dated a girl from Manly. I used to tease her and call her “the manly woman”. And then she’d wrestle me to the ground and clobber me…
By the way, I have also heard the one about “Manly Man Marries Fertile Woman”.
win!
this is dumb, i live two suburbs away from Manly in NSW Australia.
“There goes the neighborhood!” said a manly fella when the first fleet arrived.
win or fail I dunno, but it sure got me, I read the headline and thought WHAT were they thinking??….
Giving newspapers writers fits, apparently.
Manly is a suburb in Sydney
Manly is a suberb in sydney.
manly is a superb of sydney
Manly is a suburb in Sydney, Australia. The woman was from Manly, so she is a Manly woman.
if the description is accurate i really dont think it was an accident…
Again, America is not.. I repeat is NOT the only country in the world. Manly is a suburb in Sydney, Australia.
Manly is the beachside suburb in Sydney! Where all the sporting teams go cos it’s known for all the topless not-so-manly chicks on the beach
Fairly sure that line would be in the Manly Daily..daily.
Totally agree with SS – good beach and hot chicks.
