Daily chuckles

I think this would be a fun thread- I often run across things that are a bit funny or silly or put a smile on your face. They're not quite UP or things you're happy about, but the random things you see or hear that brighten your day, even for a moment. 

My Daily Chuckle for today: My 2 year old nephew now thinks that "anyone who leaves and says bye-bye goes home to Scotland" 

That's adorable!

My chuckle of the day is this youtube video of a kitten riding on the back of a tortoise.  I think the music is what really does me in!

ETA: Woah! Didn't realize it would embed the video! Sorry! Anyway, I really like this idea for a thread.

Hahaha, that's so cute!  My niece is 2 as well and lives in Akron, Ohio. She thinks the only place you can fly to is Cleveland because she regularly sees the Goodyear Blimp and asks where it's going (which is always to Cleveland - blimps can only go so far at that speed!). She recently told me that her mommy is going to fly her in the blimp to Cleveland, and when I asked where she'd sit in the blimp she replied, "In my car seat".

Also, I love the kitty! It seems so confused about being on the turtle.

Here's my favourite video of the day, courtesy NYC Subway system and the group Improve Everywhere: "Star Wars Subway Car"

I work in an Italian Restaurant.  One of my coworkers asked me how to spell Spaghetti today.

Then she asked what animal Osso Bucco was from so I told her it was goat.

Last night, at the pub, DH was telling us that he knew someone who thought that England had gone to pot after the Romans started coming over.

Damn immigrants!

ETA: DH also has a great uncle who thinks that York's City Walls should be knocked down because they get in the way.

Mine is from a book I am currently reading for my dissertation, which has to do with 18th century tour books of Scotland.

One 18th-century man's unfavourable opinion of the landscape in Scotland...

"Man alone seems to be the only creature who has arrived to the natural size in this poor soil..."

My coworker just came back from holiday- she had booked one of these packages to Crete- and she drove the 3+ hours to Glasgow and was at the airport, and wouldn't you know it, but 2 other co-workers, had driven down to Glasgow, were on the same flight, and had booked the same package! So she got to go on holiday with 2 other people from the office! 

PB, they could have saved money and carpooled!  Question is, did it feel like a holiday?  Especially if they had the same accommodation....

This website has provided me with amusement yesterday!

That's what I said! 

Hehehehe forgot my daily chuckle-
My coworker, instead of sending me an email request or coming over to talk to me, wrote this long note out, like a "love letter style" asking me to do this and that - and he printed it out in a script font - signed it "hugs and bubbles"
I was dying laughing- he is sooooo random!

Cute!

Probably at least one day a week, when I'm going to work (between 7:30 & 8 am) - I see the armoured car fella who comes in to restock the Cashpoints, in the building where I work.  You know he's got the big case, the vest, helmet with a shield, the whole protective outfit bit.  I usually only ever see him, plus the guy who stays in the armoured vehicle.  There are three cash machines in a row, but with the little door where he goes in, in between two of them.

One day a week or two ago, the guy with protective gear goes in, and there's actually another guy inside the little room.  I don't think he had any protective gear on, and I never saw him go into the room or come out of it.  I also had never seen him before then.  (I was getting some cash.)

I have decided that the secret extra guy inside the tiny room behind the cash machines lives in there, like the goblins for Gringotts Wizarding Bank.  He probably eats your cards when the machine swallows them up. 

How did I not know about this thread!??

I sent my friend a 'congrats on your new boobies' email the other day. Totally cracked myself up!
