  3. Parking, endless source. I wonder if Romans had chariot jokes and left irritated messages on badly parked chariots?

  6. Oh my gosh I love the business card idea. And I have tons of business cards. Although I think it would be funnier if I left one of my ex's business cards on the windshield.

  10. Love the school bus (those idle threats from "adults" trying to control rambunctious kids)...and the legal disclaimer!

  11. Oh. My. Goddess!
    I was laughing hard and then I got to the business card one. I got the hiccups now...

    XOXO

  12. Always fun to see the odd/funny things you post here. That's an clever way of removing the boot on your car. Fortunately I've never been booted but good to know.

  15. "They tell of a bus that headed for Scranton alone;

    It dwindled into the West.

    It was later found near a gasoline pump—-moss grown,

    Deserted, abandoned, like the Mary Celeste."


    Hello Debra, All great ones today, but the bus one perfectly illustrates Ogden Nash's "The Buses Headed for Scranton", quoted above.

  19. The fat guy with the grill--priceless. I could see my uncle, and my ex.

    I feel so much better now

  21. A bunch of blank business cards would work just as well methinks.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I couldn't do the business card thing. I'd be hitting parked cars on purpose.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Favorites are the fat man with the grill and the evergreen school bus.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Those were all hilarious and some were downright tempting! Who knew parking could elicit so many lols???
    Cheers!

  25. Ha - love your legal disclaimer at the end. Just in case I adopt one of your suggestions, it goes belly up, and I claim She Who Seeks made me do it, you've got yourself covered!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Thanks for these, Debra. They are all great but I think the business card idea is the most excellent one.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Some people really do park like assholes.
    One of your pics reminded me of this place in Westlock Alberta: https://goo.gl/maps/qkeBmn5o6tu9B8Xw9

  28. Parking for fat guys that like to grill! I know a couple of those guys! All these are funny, but special thanks for that one.

    ReplyDelete
  29. @ DB Stewart -- Thanks for the link -- that photo is very cool!

  30. "Fat guys that like to grill" <--This one elicited a hearty cackle from me. Thanks, Debra. You always bring the best of the best.

  31. I try to carry some things, so I won't be just another boring old man. Today, my caregiver was snooping around, looking for evidence, and he found one of my old books.
    ZAKROS the discovery of a lost palace of ancient Crete.
    By Nicholas Platon. It is a classic.

    What is this! He asked. How to answer?
    I have a good relationship with this guy. He is excellent. But there is no way I could answer in a few words.

    So I said, a long time ago, before Jesus was born, there were the Greeks, and before them, there were these people, the Minoans. Look at their art! At this point, we digressed into a discussion about Egypt and the Pyramids. We agreed that those pyramids in Egypt are amazing, but Tenochtitlan is not to be compared with anything.
    This guy is Mexican, he knows that space aliens did not build that place.
    Anyway, back to Zakros and the bull jumpers and that goddess and the Labyrinth and the Minotaur. It was a pleasure to talk with him about this. Just an old guy and a younger guy talking stories.

  32. I've always been tempted to recreate that first photo

  33. ...you have a wonderful sense of humor. Collecting business cards is great as is the 1950, I have one!

    ReplyDelete

  35. oh fuck I love that second to last one.

  36. These are TOO funny. You find the best memes.

  37. Wild abandon is the BEST! It describes my parking.

    ReplyDelete
  38. What's the point of having a Wrangler jeep if you don't drive it onto the roof?

    ReplyDelete
  39. HAHAHA! These were great. "Parking with wild abandon" is my favourite. Only you can make an entire post about parking this entertaining.

    ReplyDelete
