Saturday Overnight Open Thread (11/28/20)

A woman was at her hairdresser's getting her hair styled for a trip to Rome with her husband. She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser, who responded:

He said: "Who fucked up your hair?

Moar jokes, thanks to JT for this submission.

The Fabulous Mrs. Mis Hum and I have 3 daughters. We were asked if we were going to try for a son. Nope.
These folks couldn't wait for a daughter.

The X chromosomes of the Schwandts in Lakeview Michigan seemed to be very elusive after almost three decades.

But after years and years and years of practicing, about 28 to be exact, Jay Schwandt and his wife Kateri finally welcomed a girl into their family after having 14 boys who range in age from 2 to 28 years old.

Maggie Jayne was born on Thursday to large admiring family of mostly men (even the dog Boomer is a guy!)

Every day putting together The ONT I learn things. One of the new things I learned this past week was about the Rhino Vehicle. No, not that kind of RINO.

The bizarre amphibious four-wheeled vehicle called Rhino was designed by the Greek-American inventor Elie Aghnides. In the 1940s, Aghnides was watching a tractor laboring through New York City’s Central Park and figured he could combine the stability of a bulldozer with the speed of a car, and create an efficient, all-terrain vehicle.

A few years later, he came up with the concept of an enormous vehicle nicknamed “The Rhino”. Defining features were its massive slanted front wheels, which had six-foot diameters and weighed 1,500 pounds each. The wheels were also hollow, which allowed the Rhino to float, meanwhile, a hydrojet propelled it forward along the water body.

Youth is wasted on the young.

Wednesday's ONT featured the WKRP clip, "As God as my witness I thought turkeys could fly. Tonight? As God as my witness I thought we could blow up whales.

On November 12th, 1970, Paul Linnman delivered a legendary news report on a whale carcass that had washed up on the shores of Florence, Oregon.

Authorities somehow thought using dynamite was the best way to dispose of the deceased sperm whale. Things quickly went awry and the infamous news report is often cited as one of the Internet’s earliest viral news clips.

The good old service industry. The customer is not always right. And in this case is put back into their proper place.

The internet’s a blessing and a curse because any mistakes that you make in life can find their way online where they can stay there. Forever. On the other hand, these mistakes can act as cautionary tales for others. On how not to behave. Ever!

A redditor shared a story on the ‘Eff You Karen’ subreddit about a “male Karen” (which is technically a ‘Kyle’ if you’re wondering) who tried to aggressively barge into a Scottish tattoo parlor only to later complain about being mistreated. The owner of the Archangel 1608 Tattoo Studio in Glasgow, David McKinlay, quickly put them in their place in the most epic way. Read on to see what happened. I think that you’ll agree that the customer was acting extremely rudely and got what was coming to them. And, I’ve got to say, I’m a big fan of how the Scottish handle issues like this. No mollycoddling. No nonsense. Just a shower of sarcasm. And some gritty Scottish swearing. And all is well with the world

As a father in a household of females, I have had my share of Hallmark Christmas movies. The Only Hallmark Christmas Movie Drinking Game You Need to Play. One way to make the "Countdown to Christmas" even better? A bottle of wine tequila and your favorite Hallmarkies.

Well this certainly was a surprise.

OK, Thanksgiving is past us, now to concentrate on Christmas...............

There is a door on your bathroom for a purpose. Genius Award Winner.

A Hackensack School Board member who made national headlines by opposing a LGBTC curriculum has resigned after an embarrassing incident during a Zoom meeting.

Frances Cogelja didn’t realize she’d left her laptop camera on when she took it with her while going to the bathroom during the public comments section of a board meeting Monday night.

Nearly 150 participants, including students, apparently saw Cogelja relieve herself.

No one immediately said anything when she returned from her trip to the toilet.
