What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Maybe it's just something that's been on his mind, like "How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?"

Because books.

I got an idea of what the Lysol ad was about and quickly scrolled past. Because, WTF?

And the postage meter one really is just bizarre. And offensive.

Our wings are not tired.

Happy Birthday, Frank! Maybe instead of going to Maine you could just go fishing in Massachusetts. Quite a nice fish Rachel caught there.

Not looking at offensive ads, because yuck.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm not completely sure I need to be offended by the postage meter one, it's almost Dada in it's nonsensicality.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Speaking of vintage ads - this one is one of the most bizarre: [link]

The Bathroom Bolshevik Poster reads: Is your bathroom breeding bolsheviks? Employees lose respect for a company that fails to provide decent facilities for their confort. The poster is an actual ad for Scot Tissue Towels that first appeared in the 1930's.

Or the WWII propaganda poster urging US citizens to "Grow Hemp for the War": [link]

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Is the Grow Hemp For the War guy smelling the hemp rope?

I think he's talking into a microphone.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I've thought about getting the bathroom bolshevik poster for my bathroom.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Here's my current hygiene question: What is up with the people who use the paper towel to touch all the doors on their way out of the bathroom? I figure those are the cleanest doorknobs around, since most people at least make a half-assed effort to wash their hands in the bathroom.
