Apparently the public education system in Texas has gotten pretty crappy.

I hear that district really sucks, even though they’re flush. You get detention for being turdy. My son went there and even though he was a real whizz he got bogged down by all these grunts.
Oh brag away, your son was pupil number 1 for a long time, but he’s been dethroned to number 2…by my son John.
Impressive video…
This ad made me laugh yesterday. See if you can figure out why.

Cause Ralph did not disclose it will not be allowed on controlled access roadways that require a minimum of 750cc displacement?
Exactly. It appears this Charger has been subject to the famous Honda motorcycle engine swap.
Could be a Subaru… it certainly looks cheap and ugly! Wow! https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=zLPp-NFInXw
We have a couple of dooky trucks running around painted like a roll of Life-Savers. Nothing but respect for anyone who does this for a living and when our septic had a emergency, I tipped the driver after with a 6-pack of my home-brew for a job well done.
Septic tank cleaning has to be the punniest industry on Earth.
In my area we have Stinky’s, Honeypot and Roses as septic service companies.
I used to work for a Japanese plumbing manufacturer whose main products were high end toilets and bidet toilet seats. The Americans in the engineering department had a great sense of humor. The Japanese did not. They just didn’t get the humor of advertising a bidet “Now with the cleaning power of pumice AND bleach!”
Awesome.
I work in marketing. When I was on the supplier side, i worked for anyone who would pay us. For 4 of those 5 years, that included “feminine hygiene” products. So everything from tampons to “personal lubricant” to yeast infection treatments. It was a glorious job for a fresh-faced boy out of college.
Being the only person in the room under the age of 48 and the only one who hadn’t worked for a tampons brand for a decade, there were terms that were used that had nothing to do with traditional context, at least modern simple context.
At that time as a grunt in the industry I wrote and managed a number of advertising effectiveness surveys. Every year this suggestion would come around for the brand. “Ask the teens about digital application.” It’s well-known in the industry that habits for women are formed when they are girls. It’s like cigarettes, start them young, have them for life.
Every damn year though, digital application.
I never asked it because I knew what they meant, but the intern was really confused on the drive home.
“They’re making an app for tampons? Like when to change it?”
“Nope, they mean using your finger to put it in.”
I assume your reaction to that line was much like his.
That intern just understood what the IoT (Internet of Tampons) is about. Add nonsense functionality and charge ten-fold.
I remember the episode of Monster Garage where Jesse James and his crew converted a Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow into a septic tank cleaning vehicle.
I parked next to a very clean and beautiful Volvo 850 this evening. Rare in wagon country, this VISIT gave me a nice little dose of happiness.
