A Funny Case of Wild Police Hot Pursuit

Apparently a police high speed hot pursuit does not mean quite the same thing in Romania as it means in most other parts of the world. Such a phrase usually draws visions of flashing squad car lights, loud police sirens wailing their song and near brushes with death as tires squeal around sharp corners.

In Romania, the police move at a different pace than in America. In Romania the police, they...well, they...Perhaps it would be easier just to watch for yourself:



Yes! That certainly was a dangerous high speed hot pursuit. It is truly amazing that the officers are able to keep up such a rapid chase. Did you skin your knee when you tripped officer? That must really hurt!

Yes, officer, is this your gun? It seems you dropped it because you were in such a hurry. Oh, no! Don't worry! I won't tell your captain.

At least the Romanian police can boast that they have very few fatalities due to high speed pursuits.

The Fun Theory - Changing Stairs into a Piano



This is the Fun Theory video in which Volkswagen changed a simple flight of stairs into a flight of stairs made up of a piano keyboard with each step becoming one key on the keyboard.

What was once a mere stairway is now a piano that can be played by stepping on keys. The change was accomplished overnight by a work crew on steps leading to and from the Odenplan subway in Stockholm, Sweden. Applying pressure on each step results in playing a musical note.

Suddenly climbing the stairs is no longer drudgery. Now it is fun.


The folks at Volkswagen postulated that one can change human behavior by making a dreary experience into one that is fun. They clearly succeeded tremendously getting a 66% increase in the use of the stairs as opposed to the escalator.

Watch for yourself:



Julie Andrews accomplished the same thing in the film, The Sound of Music, when she taught the children that a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down "in a most delightful way."

Maybe musical stairs will soon be coming to a stairway near you?

Drunkest Drunk Ever Goes On Beer Run - Viral Video


The following video is such an Internet hit that it has gone viral almost instantly, and it is no wonder because it qualifies as some of the best drunk humor available.

This incident occurred only nine days ago at 10:45 AM no less on a Tuesday morning. Our inebriated hero has set forth upon a Lordly quest to sate his quench of thirst. In other words, he is on a beer run.

Such a valiant effort in search of liquid sustenance is restrained by his obvious inability to resist the law of gravity. As you will see in the video, our hero continually succumbs to Sir Isaac Newton's law regardless of his endeavors to thwart it.

As in most such thirst motivated missions, the humor is in the journey itself, rather than our hero's ultimate destination.

Let's watch:



The scary part is that all of the other drunks at the party chose this guy as the one sober enough to go on a beer run. Since we all know that the Internet is forever, just wait until our hero applies for a new job and his prospective employer shows him this video. He will not be a happy camper.

Alcoholic Monkeys in the Caribbean - Video

A friend of mine alerted me to this story on YouTube, and since he does not have a blog I decided to blog it for him. Imagine you are vacationing at a quiet little Caribbean getaway, lazing along side the pool with nary a care in the world.

Your waitress arrives toting a pina colada, a long island iced tea, or some similar vacation style cocktail featuring those tiny umbrellas with an excessively ample measure of booze.

Suddenly, a small alcoholic vervet monkey appears out of nowhere, and, after absconding with your drink, he disappears even faster than he appeared.

Sound far fetched? Watch and learn:



It seems that alcoholic monkeys are worse than their human counterparts.

Top Answering Machine and Voice Mail Greetings

Aah! The answering machine and voice mail greetings! How did we ever get along before they were invented? Phones used to just ring, ring and ring some more, and no one would answer them, not even a machine. It is so hard to imagine, isn't it, yet it wasn't that long ago?

We have compiled right here for your viewing pleasure a few of the top voice mail-answering machine greetings ever recorded. Some of the very best greetings have been placed right here on our modest blog.

Our first vid is from down under in Queensland, Australia, and the poster claims that it is the real deal--an actual message used on an answering machine at the Maroochydore High School no less.

The fine clientele here at McCafferty's Pub are a bit skeptical of that claim, but let's have a listen anyway:



If that is an actual greeting at Maroochydore High School, there is nothing like deliberately alienating the students' parents is there?

Ever visit a psychiatrist? Me neither, but some folks do.

Here is a greeting that one shrink might leave on his voice mail:



Don't ask me why, but somehow it seems that greeting would prove comforting for one who is hurting psychologically.
