Just wondering... but who thought that putting a HUGE Super scary picture right over the playground was a good idea??  hahahaha!!!  My kids were terrified! :) haha!

We went out of town week before last to Nepal. When we left, I left a few carrots on the kitchen counter.   It was pretty hot and dry before we left (now we're in Monsoon!)... and well, the carrots shriveled to nothing! It's pretty amazing how much they changed! I guess our house is pretty hot :) haha! Here they are next to a new fresh carrot so you can see how much they shrank! Awesome!

I Love Funny things :)  I'm sure I've said that a million times on this blog :) haha!  Anyway, here are a couple of  things I've seen lately :)   Adam grabbed this picture the other day... the boy's shirt says:  "World's Goodest Grandpa" haha!  At the water park the other day I saw this ride... it was like the Teacups at Disney... I think it was supposed to be called Cup and Saucer... but instead it is called:  "Cup & Soccer" :) haha! :)  I saw this graffiti at one of the metro stops the other day... I thought it lacked a little creativity... :) haha!

The other day Adam saw this clinic.   At first glance it seems pretty normal..... But if you read the sign you'll see that it's a  "MUTATION DIET CLINIC"!!!! hahaha!  Mutation Diet??  What?? Really?  hahaha!  :)  Awesome :)

Laughing always makes me feel better, so I thought I'd post some "funny things" pictures :)   This picture was taken near our house.  It's common to see trucks full of people in traffic with you, but this one was REALLY leaning to the left and I thought it was really funny :)   A truck full of people is always kinda funny too :)  Adam and the girls like to eat cereal with these big soup spoons.  The other I dropped this one and it broke... it seemed pretty funny to me that our Humpty Dumpty spoon broke.... We couldn't put it together again, so we threw it away :)  The other day at the girls' school this lady was picking up her son.  He had a big sword poking out of his backpack... not sure what that is for... totally a normal thing to bring with you to school - a big (seemingly real) metal sword  :) made me laugh :)    Does anyone know what beard perming is?   I'm thinking it probably just means beard dying... but I ...

At Christmas time it is pretty normal to see people selling "Santa Gear" at the red lights... but the other day I saw something I hadn't seen paired with Santa Hats before... haha!  You never know what you'll see... :)

My favorite kind of "Funny Things" pictures are nose picking pictures... this time I caught my own daughter in the pick :) This picture (below) isn't funny because the restaurant is called "Yo! China" (it's actually a huge chain and pretty good!!!)... I think it's funny because of the huge sign next to it that says "Calories"... it must say something else in the fine print, but I'd say that their advertising scheme is lacking something.... "Come to Yo! China and you can have Calories!!!" :) haha!  We went to the American Embassy School for their Fall Festival and I saw this... it cracked me up :) This makes me smile every time I see it!!  This guy in the advertisement is so happy!  I love it! :) More to come...

So I"m not sure if this qualifies as a funny thing or not :) but it did make me laugh .... The other day we walked out to our car and saw this... FOUR red stamps along the side of our car...  Now, it wouldn't be a big deal if I could easily wipe it off, or wash it off... but it wouldn't come off!!  I scrubbed and scrubbed but it didn't even smear!  The thing that made me laugh is that the stamp was about electing and supporting a political candidate.   I don't know about you, but I don't think that's the best way to win votes :) haha!    We got them all off a few days later with some wax and some elbow grease...  It's not super funny, but it did make me laugh :) haha!

I haven't done a "funny things" post in a while, so I thought it was time :) I have been meaning to post a picture like this for years but finally did today! I love it when the red lights say: "Relax" :) This sign just makes me smile! This is an Elephant-Free Zone! ...and if you look closely to the background of the picture above you'll see this sign as well... haha! I think this is supposed to be a painting of Mickey Mouse... what do you think? I'm sure I've posted a picture like this before, but I'll never get tired of or quit laughing at some of the funny wiring methods :) On my way to the metro station the other day I saw this. Made me laugh... not sure why this guy had a whole bunch of plastic deer on his bicycle :) haha! You never know... :)

I saw a lot of things that really made me laugh while in America. This first one was by far the funniest things we saw there. We laughed forever when we saw this van... You can see very well in this picture but the windows are full of crazy stuff.... but the thing that makes this van funny is the sign on the side.... It says "The Quintessential Genetic C.O.D.E, C.O.D.E and C.O.D.E. of Empathy Mobile" - haha!! We have no idea what this is or what it means... but it was so funny and random! There were definitely some funny clothing things that made me laugh.... these boys shorts for example... the 80s are totally coming back... yikes! This lady's hat definitely made me smile :) This made me laugh too :) The bag of popcorn seeds said: "100% Whole Grain"... haha! Yes, it is a whole grain - duh! haha! it made me laugh :) This one was crazy to me!! So many people use the ER as a doctor's office because of insurance (or lack of it), that there is alwa...

I definitely need some funny things this Friday :) so..... for your viewing pleasure :) Here's a "Frams Torner" Action Figure :) This was on a big sign about giving your kids the injections (shots) they need :) I just think it's funny that the shot is hugging the baby :) The other night at our Friday night market I saw this cart being pushed around. I couldn't get a very good picture because he didn't want me to take a picture... but I just had to :) It's a cart full of toothbrushes! They were 5 rupees :) (about 11 cents) :) This sign is in the metro and always makes me laugh :) One of our friends got fined the other day :)... haha! (yeah, this sign and the fine are totally necessary) The other day we were watching the Cricket World Cup with our neighbors and one of the guys wanted more water, so he yelled up to his wife on the top floor. she threw down the basket and he put his empty bottles in it and she pulled them back up. She filled them up a...

Here's just a few funny things I've seen recently :) It's starting to get warm (70s and upper 80s) but some people are still dressing warm. Check out this girl's outfit! I think everything she's wearing was knitted! Awesome! This train made me laugh! haha! This is in our new neighborhood. They had this sign up and it made me laugh :) It says: "Fix Prise means No Tention" haha! Love it! This is a chain of stores in our area of the city... they are totally OWSOME! :)

I love finding funny things :) There was no lack of funny things in the Gulf either :) Here are a few funny things we found :) This one is a little hard to see... but this PSP is an "off-brand"... It's the "PCP Station" - haha! The wording on this "mini household set" made me laugh... at the bottom it says: "Let our children more Hardworking." This one may not be so funny but according to my pronunciation of the top word it's funny :) It looks like the "sucker" service center... you're a sucker if you go there... haha! (ok, I thought it was funny) :) This was a South Asian restaurant that we saw. The name of the restaurant was funny to me - "Top Most Restaurant" :) This tailor shop had a picture of Matt Damon on their advertisement... I wonder if he gave them permission to use his picture :) This was one of my favorites :) These dolls were for sale... the doll on the upper left doesn't have a head- hah...

Just a few random things that have made me smile recently.... This dog was sticking his head out of a rickshaw and it really made me laugh :) He's probably going to the vet or something like that - but it was so funny to me :) Saw this shirt the other day :) Wanna go with me to "Slorida?" :) This made me laugh :) Pecans are VERY hard to get here. They are imported and extremely expensive!... These were the most crazily priced ones I had ever seen though! In the states they are only 99 cents... but here they cost 350 rps! That is about $7.72 for about 20 pecans! CRAZY! (especially when I know it should cost 99 cents - haha!)
