16. October 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile; then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here.' One of the clerks passed out. (H/T Blake)

The Saturday ONT Movie Review..........

Imagine a dog and his voice saying, "Even though this didn't work out I'm still a big sweetie."

A dog that got itself stuck in a tree in Idaho, after chasing a squirrel, gave fire crews and police a giggle when they came to his rescue.

“Well, definitely not a cat in a tree,” Caldwell Fire Department posted on Facebook on Jan. 12 after fire crews and police attended the site of a stuck pup named Izzy, a pit bull/husky mix. “After much coaxing, the canine was brought safely to the ground. Perhaps he will not be so persistent, next time, in chasing squirrels.”

Even on a Saturday night, The ONT Is Always Looking Out For You^TM

Dining out for many of us is a chance to try new flavors, have food brought to a table while we relax, and generally enjoy good food and new company. However, for a lot of us, it's hard to let go of the concern that the kitchen at a restaurant might not be as clean as we'd like. Fortunately, there are regulations put in place to alleviate some of those concerns and subtle signs that could signal a problem.

"Each city has its own health code, and every restaurant has to pass inspection," explains Kam Talebi, chef and owner of The Butcher's Table. "Restaurants are never warned when the inspection is coming either. We are very particular about our processes to ensure that everything stays sanitary and clean. Most cities have a letter grade system so you can get an idea of how clean the place is from outside."

Cafe Visitor Takes Revenge On ‘Karen’ Customers Who Told Them To Move To Another Table Even Though They Got There First

here’s no denying that some folks are just downright unpleasant.

Low self-esteem, personal problems, a troubled upbringing, anger issues, emotional immaturity – the root cause could be debated forever. And while it’s true that the person or people in question may not be at fault per se, most of the time, the behavior is yielded by good old arrogance.

Don’t get me wrong, we all have our moments. I mean, are you seeing what’s happening in the world right now? It’s pure stress. Nevertheless, lashing out at strangers, whether you think that they’ve wronged you or not, is, quite frankly, ludicrous.

Losing your temper in public spaces, let alone packed public spaces, is the last thing you want to resort to – because, let’s face it, you will probably get outwitted, and who likes to look like a fool?

Looks like fun. Until........

Now, that's quite the vehicle. And I wouldn't mind having one.

California carmaker Rezvani has come up with a genuinely apocalyptic military-grade SUV that can pepper spray, electrify, and blind passersby.

The Batmobile-like monstrosity, dubbed the Rezvani Vengeance, is a heavily modified Cadillac Escalade SUV that's decked out with a preposterous number of military features that only the evilest of evil supervillains could possibly make use of.

I'm so happy that the UK has no other problems than drivers who make hand signals.
