Saturday Overnight Open Thread (7/13/19)

And here is proof. H/T Bitter Clinger.

A lemon, a potato, and a pea all had a tough week working at the grocery store, so they decided to let off some steam with a bar crawl at the weekend.

The potato turned to him and said "Easy peasy, lemon's queasy." H/T ibguy's daughter

Had a rough week?
Hopefully, this will put a smile on your face!

Shocked, shocked I am!!!!

Woman Who Married 300-Year-Old Pirate Ghost Says They're Breaking Up

"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy" – wrote many years ago William Shakespeare. And this story will be the best example for that, according to some people at least.

If you are engaged in the spiritual world, we think that it's always important to never forget about common sense. Otherwise, you will end like an Irish lady from our story.

Amanda Teague is a 46-year-old women from Ireland, that was always interested in spirituality. She also always loved strong and wild men, like Caribbean pirates, so at one point she decided to combine these two passions by marrying Jack Sparrow, infamous pirate from an XVIII century.

And how she did that? Obviously, she didn't ask out Johnny Depp, that played his role in "Pirates from Caribbean" movie series. Brilliant as he was, always with a cig in his mouth (or something else to smoke), he surely couldn't measure with the real Jack Sparrow that Amanda "met" in 2014, during one of her "spiritual seances".

After a few months of extensive communication with Jack, she decided to marry him and live a happy life together. Like Amanda says – they even had some sexual encounters.

But these good times are all over now.

Is she the hostess with the mostess?

Have you heard of the "Mosquito"? No, we aren't talking Bingo, Bango and Bongo either.

WINBERG: It's called the Mosquito, and it's an acoustic deterrent device, technology used to keep humans or animals away from a designated area. It's usually used by law enforcement or the military. The Mosquito was manufactured by Vancouver-based Moving Sound Technologies. Michael Gibson is the company's president and says he has worked with about 20 parks departments in cities around the country to install his devices.

MICHAEL GIBSON: The intention was just to move, non-confrontationally, youth from an area where they should not be. And that will prevent vandalism. It'll prevent graffiti, loitering.
