Saturday Overnight Open Thread (1/1/22)

The Saturday Night Joke

NEW SALESMAN

A Young guy from North Dakota moves to Florida and goes to a big "everthing under one roof" department store looking for a job. The Manager says, "Do you have any sales experience?" The kid says "Yeah. I was a vacuum salesman back in North Dakota." Well, the boss was unsure, but he liked the kid and figured he'd give him a shot, so he gave him the job. "You start tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and see how you did." His first day on the job was rough, but he got through it. After the store was locked up, the boss came down to the sales floor.

"How many customers bought something from you today?" The kid frowns and looks at the floor and mutters, "One". The boss says "Just ONE?!! Our sales people average 20 to 30 customers a day.

That will have to change, and soon, if you'd like to continue your employment here. We have very strict standards for our sales force here in Florida. One sale a day might have been acceptable in North Dakota, but your not on the farm anymore, son.

The kid took his beating, but continued to look at his shoes, so the boss felt kinda bad for chewing him out on his first day. He asked (semi-sarcastically), "So, how much was your one sale for?"

The kid looks up at his boss and says "$101,237.65".

The boss, astonished, says, $101,237.65? What the heck did you sell?"

The kid says, "Well, first, I sold him some new fish hooks. Then I sold him a new fishing rod to go with his new hooks. The I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down the coast, so I told him he was going to need a boat, so we went down to the boat department and I sold him a twin engine Chris Craft. Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so i took him down to the automotive department and sold him that 4 x 4 Expedition."

The Boss said, "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a boat and a TRUCK?" The kid said "No, the guy came in here to buy tampons for his wife, and I said, 'Dude, your weekend's shot, you should go fishing'" (H/T TNDeplorable)

Good old Wisconsin and parental love on full display.

WASHINGTON COUNTY, Wis. (CBS 58) -- A 20-year-old Milwaukee woman is accused of driving drunk twice on the same day.

According to the Washington County Sheriff's Office, around 3:13 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 31, a deputy observed two vehicles traveling "unusually close together" on I-41 southbound near State Highway 33. The deputy noticed the lead driver was continuously swerving, driving half on and off the shoulder, and not maintaining consistent speeds. The following driver was traveling close behind the lead driver.

Authorities say the deputy pulled alongside the pair of vehicles, activated his emergency lights and turn signal to get behind the lead vehicle. The following driver reportedly failed to yield to the deputy and pulled even closer to the lead vehicle; the following driver would not allow the deputy to pull into the lane of traffic to make the traffic stop.

I guess everyone "needs" their 15 minutes of fame.

A woman who received a Secret Santa present with "really unpleasant sexual slurs" has been told to "get over herself" after her angry reaction to the gift.

The tradition sees each staff member given a colleague to secretly buy a present for – but one Mumsnet user was furious when she opened her gift.

She posted on the Am I Being Unreasonable forum: “I have been gifted a 'Go F**k Yourself I'm Colouring' 50 swear words to colour your anger away, adult colouring book…

“Which should be fine, (but) a lot of the words to colour are not swear words per se but really, really unpleasant misogynistic, sexual slurs and terms that I associate with pornography.”

If she was really offended. Keep it to yourself. Throw the damn present in the trash and move on with your life.

Yes little 'rons & 'ettes, I try my hardest to keep politics out of the Saturday ONT. But this was just too rich. Once again her tits and her mouth individually demonstrate bigger numbers than her IQ.

AOC replied:

If Republicans are mad they can’t date me they can just say that instead of projecting their sexual frustrations onto my boyfriend’s feet.

Ya creepy weirdos

From respair to cacklefart – the joy of reclaiming long-lost positive words
Susie Dent. Cacklefart?

“Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them”: words of positivity from the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius. But how many of us really dwell on the upside of life, as opposed to its mad, bad, seamy side? It’s unsurprising that we have lost some of our joie de vivre in the past few years – finding sparkle amid the grey has become distinctly difficult. But a riffle through a historical dictionary suggests that it’s always been this way, and at heart we’ve long been a pessimistic lot. Linguistically, as in life, our glass is usually half-empty.

The ONT Musical Interlude


On this day: January 1, 1953 - Hank Williams
American singer-songwriter and musician singer Hank Williams died of a heart attack brought on by a lethal cocktail of pills and alcohol aged 29. Williams is regarded as one of the most important country music artists of all time. 35 of his singles (five released posthumously) were placed in the Top 10 of the Billboard Country & Western Best Sellers chart, 11 of which ranked at No.1, including 'Cold, Cold Heart,' 'Hey, Good Lookin', 'I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive,' and 'Your Cheatin' Heart.' During his last years Williams's consumption of alcohol, morphine and painkillers severely compromised his professional life. via thisdayinmusic.com

He wanted to be a hobo. Now he's a posthumous Genius Award Winner.
