soda-less?

I loved my Dad. He was one of the life-smartest men in the world. He could figure out the answer to any problem no matter what it was… well except for computers, but that’s a different story.

This seems to be a theme week here at Snarkicism.

subway crotch shots

Believe it or not… the worst offenders of crotch related offences on transit aren’t the voyeurs. Most people when faced with someone’s crotch inches away from the end of their nose, try to lean back and look away. The crotch-etiest offenders lean in close, giving their sitting targets no place to escape. Continue reading

marketing cents

I saw this in a magazine years ago at a dentist or doctor’s office. I can’t remember and I definitely can’t remember which magazine otherwise I’d give credit and probably request a few dozen reprinted copies to hand out. Continue reading
