A Thousand Whatevers | Enjoyment and Contemplation

A Thousand Whatevers

October 24, 2010

In this special pictorial edition of “Good Lines”, I post some things I saw and thought were funny and have been meaning to post.

This are my most favorite kind of the nonstick.

I don’t get # 4. Why is that funny?

  I thought it was melodramatic, over the top, like the more “realistic” airline safety instructions in Fight Club that show people panicking and dying in the event of an emergency. Also, the diagonal line striking through a picture generally indicates what I shouldn’t do (“no smoking” accompanies a crossed-out smoking cigarette, etc.), but it’s difficult directly to depict my leaving a skillet unattended; so the picture is of an enormous fire in a skillet instead. The caption should perhaps read “NO ENORMOUS FIRES”.
