funny travel boys
Spain travel tip: If bathroom genders are indicated by flamingos, the boy flamingo is the one with a hat. I learned this the hard way.
funny travel new-york
I suspect that LaGuardia is an elaborate prank, and New York has a real airport nearby that only locals know about.
hate philosophical humorous
I am absolutely sick unto death of hearing people say - they all say this; it must be Item One on the curriculum in Trend College - "I just hate to talk to a machine!" They say this as though it is a major philosophical position, as opposed to a description of a minor neurosis. My feeling is, if you have a problem like this, you shouldn't go around trumpeting it; you should stay home and practice talking to a machine you can feel comfortable with, such as your Water Pik, until you are ready to assume your place in modern society.
humorous mean sleep
The Japanese eat, sleep, and breathe golf; the only thing they don't do is actually play it, because to get on a course, you have to make a reservation roughly 137 years in advance, which means that by the time you actually get to the first tee you are deceased. Of course, in golf this is not really a handicap.
mistake cutting thinking
Congress is thinking about eliminating a federal program under which scientists broadcast signals to Alien beings. This would be a large mistake. Alien beings have atomic blaster death cannons. You cannot cut off their federal programs as if they were merely poor people.
god numbers stupidity
Instead of a permit system or regulations, the Forest Service needs to reduce worldwide population growth to limit the number of visitors to wilderness.
god hands people
Trails need to be wider so people can walk while holding hands.
god animal walking-sticks
Ban walking sticks in wilderness. Hikers that use walking sticks are more likely to chase animals.
god horse stupidity
Found a smoldering cigarette left by a horse.
god stupidity needs
Trails need to be reconstructed. Please avoid building trails that go uphill.
god stupidity spiders
Too many bugs and leeches and spiders and spiderwebs. Please spray the wilderness to rid the area of these pests.
god views stupidity
Chair lifts need to be in some places so that we can get to wonderful views without having to hike to them.
god night animal
The coyotes made too much noise last night and kept me awake. Please eradicate these annoying animals.
god night feet
Reflectors need to be placed on trees every 50 feet so people can hike at night with flashlights.
