Franken Farming in Oro-Medonte

Chappel Farms, off Hwy 11, minutes north of Barrie, has had explosive results with genetically altered seeds. The consensus is not yet in as to who will eat these engineered plants. One local farmer stated "This is the year for really big things. First viagra, and now this!"

These epitaphs are taken from actual tombstones.

In a Georgia cemetery:
"I told you I was sick!"

John Penny's epitaph in the Wimborne, England, cemetery:
Reader if cash thou art
In want of any
Dig 4 feet deep
And thou wilt find a Penny.

On Margaret Daniels grave at Hollywood Cemetery Richmond, Virginia:
She always said her feet were killing her
but nobody believed her.

Worst analogies ever written in a high school essay

Here's a look at how shrewd American business people translate their slogans into foreign languages:

When Gerber first started selling baby food in Africa, they used the same packaging as here in the USA - with the cute baby on the label. Later they found out that in Africa that companies routinely put pictures on the label of what's inside since more people can't read.

In French "Gerber" means "to puke". Not a very good advertisment!

When Pepsi started marketing its products in China a few years back, they translated their slogan, "Come alive, you're in the Pepsi generation" pretty literally. The slogan in Chinese really meant, "Pepsi Brings Your Ancestors Back from the Grave."

A hair products company, Clairol, introduced the "Mist Stick", a curling iron, into Germany to find out that mist is slang for manure. Not too many people had use for the manure stick.

Puffs tissues tried later to introduce its product, only to learn that "Puff" in German is a colloquial term for a whorehouse.

The Chevy Nova never sold well in Spanish speaking countries. "No va" means "doesn't go" in Spanish

  STUFF

Many of you coin collectors may not be aware, but this dollar design is the reason the Canadian Mint decided to start producing coins for the $1 & $2 dollar denominations! It is obviously meant to depict the true Canadian spirit! Anybody can see that!

A blonde decided to try horseback riding, even though she had no prior experience. She mounted the horse unassisted, and the horse immediately sprang into motion. It galloped along at a steady and rhythmic pace, but the blonde began to slip from the saddle. In terror, she grabbed for the horse's mane, but couldn't seem to get a firm grip. She tried to throw her arms around the horse's neck, but she slid down the side of the horse anyway.

The horse galloped along, seemingly impervious to its slipping rider. Finally, giving up her frail grip, she leapt away from the horse to try and throw herself to safety. Unfortunately, her foot became entangled in the stirrup and she was at the mercy of the horse's pounding hooves as her head struck the ground over and over.

As her head was battered against the ground, she was mere moments away from unconsciousness. Then, to her great fortune, the WalMart manager saw her and shut the horse off.
