humorous and ironic observations

[bramblewild]

Probably the best way to tell you what I hope this threat will be about is to give you an example...

The kitchen--A room designed and built by a six-foot tall man who, for all his skill at designing and building, has somehow completely forgotten that he is designing and building a room that will be used primarily by a five-foot tall woman.

So, this is about how in humorous ways reality either doesn't quite make sense, or time when 2+2 see to add up to acorns, and other wacky or ironic observations.

Have fun, and give us a chuckle.

If images count, here's a few I picked up from Reddit.

Here's one I have yet to be able to understand. Here in MN, at 13 years old you must have a valid firearms safety certificate to hunt small game and must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. However, 12 year olds and under who are accompanied by a parent or guardian, are not require to have a firearms safety certificate.

Also, persons age 12, 13, 14, or 15 may not obtain a license to take big game unless the person possesses a firearms safety certificate. Persons age 10 or 11 can obtain a license and hunt big game even though they do not have a firearms safety certificate, provided the person is under the direct supervision of a parent or guardian where the parent or guardian is within immediate reach. The ironic part of this is that persons 12 and 13 years old also must be under direct supervision as well. At 14 and 15 years old, a person with a safety certificate may hunt from a deer stand alone so long as they are hunting with a defined hunting party.

Apparently, a 10 year old is deemed more capable of using firearms safely but not 12 and 13 year olds.

Here's another one.

In Minnesota, it is legal for a class c licensed driver to operate an 18-wheeler or other farm related truck on the highway without obtaining a class A CDL license. They are limited to 150 miles and are not allowed to cross state lines. I heard a lawyer's take on this once. He claimed farmers are safer drivers than over-the-road truckers because they drive under adverse conditions. Really??? A farmer that uses his truck for about month each year is a safer driver than one that drives a million miles a year? Give me a break! And I am a farmer.

Related to this, as a farmer, I am not required to pass an annual D.O.T. inspection of my grain truck. I am restricted to hauling only my own farm products (grain, hay) and am limited to 150 miles and not allowed to cross state lines. I cannot use my truck for any other purposes including hauling other persons' products. That would require a commercial license and then I would be subject to annual inspections.

How about the guy who hollered about everything being made in America now selling a phone that isn't. I'd say that's fairly ironic.
