Post up your funny MEMES (Nothing Political Please)



Y'know what makes this uniquely hilarious to me? This is my launch. See if you notice anything that goes along with your meme??

There's somewhat consistent traffic on holidays, so I'm thinking of setting up a camera to record the launch so you guys can see just how stupid some people are. The fact that there's a stop sign there makes me wonder about the people who need it, as I hear the screech of tires, look, and see their whole vehicle PAST the sign.

My favorite thing to do is to walk outside and talk to the people who slow down well before, and sit there trying to figure out what or how to manage this. The first words after they roll down their window is "Why did you stop, I thought if anyone could make it over, you guys would be the first!" Other gems I spew out are "I've never seen it done this way, this'll be a new one for me. Do you mind if I record this?" and "Good thing that stop sign was there or that mighta wrecked your day!"

The absolutely confounding people to me are the people who come down to this launch (it's WELL off the beaten path), turn around, and head back to wherever they were going, boat still in tow. Never launching, never scoping it out...nothing.

At some point this year, that stop sign will disappear. The oddity is that there was a stop sign on the other side of the road, facing the same direction, before my neighbor's wife backed over it and took it out. Now, it's screwed to the electrical pole, just so it's still in the area I guess. If you're the type of person who needs a stop sign to let you know not to drive into the water, then Darwin should finish the job that the DMV forced on the rest of society.
