Funny Things
41. Ticket to Nowheresville
That's what you'll get if you keep on... fill in the blank. A sort of warning to stop what you're doing.
Funny Clothes
42. Plastic Bread Bags Over Your Shoes
Worn between the shoes and the black rubber overshoes, then taken off (but not thrown away!) upon arriving at school. Very much a Northern thing. Abruptly stops at 7th grade, because that's just not cool, man. See also Food.
Funny Foods
43. Triple Whopper with Cheese
The inherently funny part is two-fold; one, they make it, and two, people order it; 1,230 calories, 82 grams of fat, 275 mg's of cholesterol, and 1,590 mg's of salt. Contained in this sandwhich is what many people eat in three days. See also Cholesterol, Fast Food, Meat.
Funny Sayings
44. Balls O' Friday
Exclaimed by my mother when she hit the boiling point. And then would come the hitting.
Funny Insults
45. Homeschool
As in, "What's up, Homeschool?" An excellent insult because it covers so many insult-related topics: nerdiness, out of touch, undereducated, etc. The list is endless. See also Schools.
Funny Diseases
46. The Yips
A failure to perform easy tasks under pressure; missing a 6-inch putt, dropping the ball, flubbing a short speech in front of the boss, et al.
Funny Drinks
47. Booze Secretly Poured into the Punch Bowl
A cliche, sure, but hey, let's liven up this Lutheran Social Services Senior Dance! I mean, it's not like anyone's going to get pregnant! See also Alcohol, Pranks.
Funny Books
50. The Joy of Sex
Alphabetically organized, and quite specific in detail, it was for many of us, our first sexual experience, or, for that matter, learning experience—carefully pulling the book down off the shelf when no one is home. By the way, they actually made a Vol. 2 with less hairy, scraggly people. See also 70's, Sex.
