Stupid telemarketers. Ive averaged more called a week now then I did before i registered for the no call list.

I'm getting annoying texts now on my cell phone. "you have won a free IPAD" type of shit.

the only texts of that nature i get are from my phone company.

I found a rather decent Austrian restaurant five minutes from my apartment. Very lower to mid-middle class atmosphere without being shabby, huge servings and good quality food. Huge dinner plate (two filled schnitzels with potatoes) and two large beer for 18 EUR.

I've taken to using an airhorn on "Rachel from Cardmember services" and "The FBI reports a break-in in your neighborhood every 30 seconds" scammers.

The past several days I've gotten robo-calls on my private office line saying "you have been selected to receive 2600 Air Miles.  Press one to accept".  I've just hung up on them, but on about the 4th I took in.  I was curious, since I don't have an Air Miles card.

So I get put through to a live person who asks "Who do I have the pleasure of speaking with".  I say "don't you know, you called me."  He says something about only the number comes up.  I respond with "speaking of that, how did you get this number?"  He kinds of stumbles for a bit, and says he got it from "demographic data". 

I decide to just end it, saying "I don't have an Airmiles card".  He still tries to say it doesn't matter, I can receive travel credit to be used to visit Florida.

Surely a scammer should know when the gig is up and just hang up.

Casually mention you are a prosecutor who works a lot with the RCMP.

And, according to the girl getting her own tattoo in the video, having a needle jabbing your rectum over and over again feels REALLY, REALLY GOOD!

Good news for guys with tiny dicks.

Question:

I decided to buy some ice cream tonight, which I almost never do, and Ben & Jerry's was on sale.  On the pint container it says "Still 16 ounces!" a bunch of times.  What is this in reference to?

I'd do her.  Three condom minimum though.

Lots of ice cream makers, over the last 10 or so years, instead of raising prices, will just make the containers slightly smaller.  1/2 gallons used to be the standard "large" size for the major brands (Dreyers/Edys, Breyers, etc), going to 1.75 quarts, and then 1.5.  The trend has probably hit pint-sized ice cream cartons (which B&J has always been) too.

Edit: And google finds that the major pint-ice cream competitor, Haagen Daz, shrunk theirs from 16 ounces to 14.

Thanks.    Bars will do the same thing with "cheater" pint glasses that look right, but actually have a thicker base and only hold 14 oz.
