Funny Factoid Friday Again, And Another Eighteen Universal Truths


“Fight Against Stupidity And Bureaucracy”

This funny factoid Friday I have a few more Universal Truths. As before, that does not mean that every one of them applies to everyone, but weirdly most of them do.
And if you are wondering after you read this, the answer is yes, I have put aside a thin piece of wood specifically to stir paint (you’ll see what I mean later!). Oh dear :o(
Enjoy!

1) Some days you see lots of people on crutches.


2) Every bloke has at some stage while taking a pee, flushed half way through and then raced against the flush.

12) The most painful household incident is wearing socks and stepping on an upturned plug.

Unusual Ways Of Saying Someone Is Stupid


“Fight Against Stupidity And Bureaucracy”


This blog is about highlighting stupidity and hopefully doing it in an entertaining way – well, most of the time anyhow. There are a lot of ways to describe someone or something that is stupid.
Here is a short list that I found on the internet (plus I’ve added a couple of my own favorites). Some of them are quite amusing.
If you have a favorite or know of any others please send them. I’d be more than happy to add them to my list. 
Enjoy.


A few clowns short of a circus.

A few fries short of a happy meal.

A few beers short of a six pack.

A few peas short of a casserole.

The wheel's spinning, but the hamster's dead.

One fruit loop shy of a full bowl.

All foam, no beer.

The cheese slid off his cracker.

Body by Fisher, brains by Mattel.

Warning: Objects in mirror are dumber than they appear.

Couldn't pour water out of a boot with instructions on the heel.

He fell out of the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down.

An intellect rivaled only by garden tools.

As smart as bait.

Doesn't have all his dogs on one leash.

Elevator doesn't go all the way to the top floor.

Forgot to pay his brain bill.

Her sewing machine's out of thread.

His antenna doesn't pick up all the channels.

His belt doesn't go through all the loops.

Proof that evolution CAN go in reverse.

Receiver is off the hook.

Several nuts short of a full pouch.

Skylight leaks a little.

Slinky's kinked.

Too much yardage between the goal posts.

The light is on but there’s nobody home.
