Breaking News: Giant Inflatable Dog Poo Wreaks Havoc in Switzerland!

OK, I can't begin to top these headlines, but I do have a funny story:

I remember once that some birthday balloons got stuck in a ceiling fan when I worked at an animation studio that had very high ceilings, and somehow I got elected to go up and get them. The ladder wasn't tall enough, so I grabbed a giant prop pencil to help me reach the balloons.

As I climbed up the very unsteady ladder with the giant plastic pencil to get the balloons, one of my coworkers said, "I can just imagine what we will have to tell the paramedics when they ask us what happened. 'Oh, He fell off the rickety ladder and broke his neck when went to get the birthday balloons with the giant number two pencil.'"

I laughed so hard I almost fell off the ladder!

A great story. Oddly enough I want to go myself by being impaled on a giant pencil.

FranIAm: Who, me? I just went...

Randal Graves: Oops! You beat me to the line!

Dean Wormer: Hmm... The human pencil sharpener complex. I wonder what Freud would say?

Unconventional Conventionist: One might ask - With flinging poo in flight, can Dr. Monkerstein be far away? ;o)
