Shampoo for the Family Jewels..No Lie
Eier Shampoo has got to be one of the most bizarre body-hygiene products on the market right now. It’s used to clean men’s testicles.
If there’s one thing Germans do well (except making great cars and tasty beer) is clean their balls. They’re so preoccupied with keeping them as clean as possible that they’ve actually come up with a testicle-cleaning shampoo. It’s called Eier and you can actually buy it from a German online store, for only 5 euros. Come guys, your balls have to be worth at least that, right?

COULROPHOBIA
An irrational fear of clowns.
What, fear those delightful purveyors of slapstick comedy? One may as well go in terror of Santa Claus (but then a few people do that too, sad cases of Santa Claustrophobia). But clown humour has always embraced cruelty in its teasing and insulting of other clowns and members of the audience. Clowns represent anarchy, the personifications of unreason, and a force of nature out of control. Who knows what really lies behind their unchanging painted faces and outlandish costumes? These are all good enough reasons for even the strongest and most adult of us to feel unease in the presence of a clown. Some children are terrified by them and a surprisingly large proportion of adults confess to finding them creepy and disturbing, so much so that this word for their condition has had to be invented. It’s not old — perhaps from the 1980s — and has been taken from Greek kolon, a limb, which seems strange until you find the related kolobathristes was a stilt-walker. This seems to have been the nearest its coiner could get to a suitable classical allusion, since ancient Greek didn’t have a word for a clown in our modern sense.

Mexican Lion Discourages Thieves
This is a true story of a Garage Owner in the Southwest.
(New Mexico)
He was sick and tired of thugs breaking into his garage shop to steal tools etc. So he came up with this idea. He put the word out that he had a new Mexican Lion that would attack anyone that would break in or climb his fence. Would be thieves saw the "Lion" from a distance and fled the scene.
Mule Killed Mountain Lion? Not Really..
These pictures and the story about the lion-killing-mule circulated for quite a while on the Internet before Steven Richards got the real story and published it in Western Mule Magazine. The mule's name is Berry and it belongs to 25-year old Jody Anglin from New Mexico. Anglin says he enjoys hunting mountain lions and is usually accompanied by a cadre of hunting dogs. In 1998 he got Berry to assist with the lion hunts. On the first hunt, Berry was attracted to the carcass of a lion that Anglin had shot and sort of nuzzled it and nibbled at it. With each new kill, however, Berry got more animated and couldn't wait to get to the dead lions. The pictures in the eRumor were taken in 2002 or 2003 and show Berry toying with a lion that was already dead, not killing it. Someone along the way created the story about the Montana couple, the stalking lion, and the fanciful descriptions of the pictures.

a Blond Joke for Don*
Seven-Hundred-Ten:
A few days ago I was having some work done at the local auto dealership. A blonde came in and asked for a seven-hundred-ten.
We all looked at each other and another customer asked, "What is a seven-hundred-ten?"
She replied, "You know, the little piece in the middle of the engine, I have lost it and need a new one." She said that she did not know what it was but this piece had always been there.
He gave her a piece of paper and a pen and asked her to draw what the piece looked like. She drew a circle and in the middle of it wrote 710. He then took her over to another car, which had its hood up and asked, "Is there a 710 on this car?"
She pointed and said, "Of course, it's right there!"
the joke for Friday
I pulled into the crowded parking lot at the Super Wal-Mart Shopping Center and rolled down the car windows to make sure my Golden Retriever pup had fresh air.
She was stretched full-out on the back seat and I wanted to impress upon her that she must remain there.I walked to the curb backward, pointing my finger at the car and saying emphatically, 'Now you stay. Do you hear me?'"Stay Stay"
The driver of a nearby car, a pretty blonde young lady, gave me a strange look and said,
Why don't you just put it in "PARK"? !!!!!this joke comes from my wonderful friend Rock 'n Roll..thank Diane!
