Man gets stripper at funeral

April 4th, 2008 by Maria

Talk about male fantasies. Cai Ruigong hired a fancy stripper for his daddy’s funeral, paying her roughly $160 to do her thing in front of his coffin!

Funeral

Sure, I found it a bit shocking at first. But then, according to one of the articles, Taiwanese culture is quite relaxed about stripping. And that it’s somewhat common to bring in, to quote Pratchett, these “seam-stressing” ladies; it reels in more mourners.

Anyway, the story goes that Cai Jinlai’s son had vowed to hire a stripper for the final farewell event if daddy-o lived to be a 100.

And that he did. Come to think of it, Cai Jinlai sounds a bit like a raunchy old grandpa; apparently he was an ardent fan of strip joints and used to travel around with his buds, visiting various clubs.

Where does this man get his energy from? He passed away at the age of 103 after a three mile walk into town to vote.

Weird excuse to get out of work

March 23rd, 2008 by Maria

We have all done some pretty stupid things to get out of work before, like calling in with the excuse that the dog was hit by a car or a grandmother died. Believe me, I have used some weird excuses also, but nothing beats this man in Pasco, Washington. He took it a few steps too far when he had his friend shoot him in order to get out of taking a drug test at work.

Work place

Yes, this is in fact a true story. In order to get out of a drug test he was going to take at work, Daniel Kuch called the police and told them he had been shot by someone in a dark car. After investigating, however, deputies discovered that this story didn’t make sense. It then came out that Kuch had a friend shoot him so that he would be injured and able to stay away from work long enough for any drugs to leave his system. Both men have since been arrested, and hopefully others will learn a lesson from this situation. Working sucks, but serving jail time sucks a whole lot more.

Builder sacked over being naughty with a vacuum cleaner

March 15th, 2008 by Maria

This might not be your typical housekeeping complaint but let’s hope you never catch this sort of “affair” in your building.

Apparently, a building worker was fired when he was caught with his pants down and, for use of a better word, “getting intimate” with the vacuum cleaner. Wait, it gets better! Or worse, whichever way you digest your bizarre news. After the security guard bumped into the Polish man, stark naked and getting his “evening delights” from the company equipment, what was his ultimate defense?

Vacuum cleaner

It was something along the lines of - there was nothing dodgy going on… no, no, where did you get this idea… no, everyone vacuums in their underwear in Poland.

Right! Remind me again, what’s the temperature in his homeland in winter? Sound like strip-worthy atmosphere to you?

And dress whichever way you want, just don’t stick bits of yourself into the smiling Henry.

No wonder the security guard asked him to clean the device!

Dumbest thief ever!

March 12th, 2008 by Maria

Here’s your dose of weird news for the day: imagine losing your camera-phone. As you mournfully gaze at the dust-lined square on the table, a lasting reminder of your gadget, beep goes your mail. And what do you know. Snugly attached to your email is a very unflattering photo of the thief!

Dumb thief

Well let’s start from the beginning. The victim of this techno-theft, (mikesub @ Flickr) was a rather enthusiastic member of Flickr and the like. And so, if anyone else uses his phone try to upload a picture on any of those sites using that same phone and fail, the actual owner will get a nifty copy of the picture. Which is just what happened!

So far, mikesub doesn’t know if it’s of the thief, his neighbor, disowned relative or partner. But it’s a start.

Talk about getting caught with your pants down.

Two friends having sex blamed for SUV crash

September 23rd, 2007 by Maria

Oh my goodness, this is something I have never imagined I would hear. Two friends having sex in the back seat were blamed for SUV’s crash into a telephone pole!

Pink car

Joshua D. Frank, a carnival worker at Moscow, Idaho, Latah County Fairgrounds pleaded guilty to failing to notify police of the accident he claimed occurred when the SUV became tipsy from the movement of the back seat couple having sex.

The driver suffered a minor head injury in the crash while his friends were treated for unspecified injuries. I wonder what injuries were those. Haha…

Best job in the world: Condom testers

July 11th, 2007 by Maria

Do you like your job? I bet you don’t. Who wants to drag out of her bed early in the morning and go to work for her boss only to make her boss richer? I don’t, that’s for sure!

But, I just found out the best job in the world. Unlucky for the female species, this position is only open to male only. What sex discrimination?! Anyway, for the male, this may be the only time in their careers they enjoy working under someone else. Haha… what position could this be other than Condom Testers?

Condom tester

This job offer is part of condom manufacturer, Durex’s advertising campaign in Australia for men to test its products.

Although the perks of the job are great, but the pay is not too attractive. The 200 selected testers would be up for a free pack of Durex condoms, plus a bonus prize of £425 for one lucky winner. But I believe most male species would not wait a second to apply for this job! It’s the best job in the world don’t forget. :)

Check out more info on Durex Australia.

No sex, please: we are Japanese and married

March 27th, 2007 by Maria

Happy couples A recent research in Japan reveals that more than a third of married Japanese couples do not have sex, and this contributed to the country’s exceptionally low birth rate. The Government research suggested that 34.6 per cent of couples had not made love for more than four weeks.

“My research shows that if you don’t have sex for a month, you probably won’t for a year. This is very bad news for the country’s birth rate, and something the Government needs to look into urgently.” said Kunio Kitamura, the director of the country’s Family Planning Association.

Doctors and anthropologists didn’t wait to come up with a few simple reasons why the Japanese are giving up sex.

  • The busy lifestyle of many urban Japanese men and women. To them, work is much more important than sex.
  • Most Japaneses’ thin-walled and small apartments do not offer much opportunities for privacy.
  • Poor communication especially among older Japanese, who are constrained from discussing sex even with their spouses.

In another study done by the condom manufacturer, Durex, Japan came last in a table of countries which had the greatest sexual satisfaction. Japanese have sex 45 times a year, compared with the average of 103.

What about yourself? Are you married but “no sex, please”? :)
