I have an interesting visit to a supermarket planned for tomorrow. I opened a packet of corn chips (from the bottom, as is my wont) and found this metal thingie
in the bottom (normally the top) of the bag.
I had thought the product was just a bit too crunchy.
A couple go for a meal at a Chinese restaurant and order the "Chicken
Surprise." The waiter brings the meal, served in a lidded cast iron pot.
Just as the wife is about to serve herself, the lid of the pot rises
slightly and she briefly sees two beady little eyes looking around before
the lid slams back down.
"Good grief, did you see that?" she asks her husband.
He hasn't, so she asks him to look in the pot. He reaches for it and again the lid rises, and he sees two little eyes looking around before it slams down.
Rather perturbed, he calls the waiter over, explains what is happening, and demands an explanation.
"Please sir," says the waiter, "what you order?"
The husband replies, "Chicken Surprise."
"Ah… so sorry," says the waiter, "I bring you Peeking Duck."
The FBI and the DEA are joining efforts and will be assigning some of their agents to a quasi-FBI/DEA enforcement team specifically targeting the illegal allergy pills sales that occur on the black market. The agents will be called "Pseudo Feds."
A male whale and a female whale were swimming off the coast of Japan when they noticed a whaling ship. He said to the female whale, "Let's both swim under the ship and blow out of our air holes at the same time and it should cause the ship to turn over and sink."
They tried it and sure enough, the ship turned over and quickly sank. Soon however, the whales realised the sailors had jumped overboard and were swimming to the safety of shore. The male was enraged that they were going to get away and told the female "let’s swim after them and gobble them up before they reach the shore."
At this point, he realised the female was becoming reluctant to follow him. "Look," she said, "I went along with the blow job, but I absolutely refuse to swallow the seamen."
What do you call a group of tactical board game players bragging about their games in a hotel lobby?
Chess nuts boasting in an open foyer.
So for most of today both wrists have had braces fitted to borh suppurt them & to reduce pain/inflamation. It's been awkward, though. It's quite a hot day and it's been hot & sweaty under the strapping.
Woke up this morning with a very sore right wrist plus there's a horrid ganglion cyst in my left wrist giving me grief. Fortunately I have two different wrist braces, both are ambidextrous in orientation. One has an aluminium splint to reduce joint articulation, the other is a wrap-around thing. The splint one fits my right wrist/hand better because it's smaller than my left wrist/hand. Being right-handed I use that one for finesse & the left for grunt work. It seems 58 years of doing that has led to slightly greater physical development on the left.
I have just signed up with Australia Post's Shopmate service. This gives me a US shipping address, once delivered there, Australia Post handles the rest of the delivery process. This means I'll be able to get around issues most Amazon traders have with not shipping here.
TIL that Australian quarantine regulations preclude the importation of bone-in ham, ergo any ham-on-the-bone sold here is an Australian product.
