M is for Midway Humor Break

In order to survive this A-Z Blogging Challenge maniacally conceived by the inernet's own, Arlee Bird, I thought I'd take a couple of humor breaks during the alphabet. I had one previous post based on humorous links, that one was "F" day.  Many of you liked it so I thought I'd continue with the humorous links on this "M" is for Midway Humor Break, to celebrate the halfway mark. Woo Hoo! 

To begin, I present to you actual remarks doctors made on patient charts. My favorite: While in the ER, she was examined, X-rated and sent home. Nice. In the tradition of strange notations, this website has some of the best absence excuses ever written by the harried parent. Please excuse Jimmy for being. It was his father's fault. Tee Hee!

I have been home schooling my six children for over ten years now. We make quite a crowd when we're out shopping or even at field trips. Tim Hawkins, a musician and comedian, made a great video poking fun of his own homeschool family.  It made us all laugh.

 


Until tomorrow...Go Write!

F is for Forgetta 'Bout It

I'm knee-deep in revisions and about to run babbling down the cul-de-sac, my neighbors hate it when I do that, so I've decided I need a fun break.  Today I have decided that "F" is for Forget about anything important today and just focus on things that are light hearted.  So I pulled together a few things that always make me smile...even chuckle a a bit...

This is a list of hilarious metaphors that highschool students submitted as part of a creative writing assignment.  My favorite is: # 10 - McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag filled with vegetable soup.  Oy!  Thats a visual I can't un-imagine. This is timeless stuff, people.

I recently received an email with funny exam answers that kids submitted. They range from a kid coloring 100 consecutive 'C' answers on his scantron...it was a True/False test.  To some very skilled doodling by obviously talented kids.  Here is one of my favorites.

Oh, and for those of you that survived April Fool's Day unscathed, I give you something worthy of mention. I saw this on Flickr. It just goes to show that I'm not the only one trying to get the girl's team on the board with some prank scores.

On a final note, I leave you with some amazing examples of what happens when graphic artists get bored.  Wow.  And I thought repeatedly hitting the Stumble! button was fun.
