Survival Of The Fittest!

So this little number was found on Best of Craigslist and it is hilariouso! I posted the link below the article so you can share this little gem with your friends.

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the "loser," and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round. I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theater of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world. Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength. In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment. When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to M&M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc., Hackettstown, NJ 17840-1503 U.S.A., along with a 3x5 card reading, "Please use this M&M for breeding purposes." This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms. I consider this "grant money." I have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion. There can be only one.

Cracking The Code

When a man says: So, what do you do?

He really means: You’re the hottest chick in the bar and I am trying to grab your attention before the guy with the Porsche does.

When a man says: Can I buy you a drink?

He really means: I want to make you feel obligated to remain in my company.

When a man says: Do you work out?

He really means: If I get too flirtatious, can you cause me bodily harm?

When a man says: Can I get your number?

He really means: I want to send you drunk text messages.

All Signs Point To No

This little pièce de résistance is all about the signs, specifically which ones to avoid. It’s one of a three piece series that will hopefully provide you a zodiac GPS.


TAURUS AND SCORPIO

These two are opposites in the zodiac, but they have more in common than other opposites. Both are determined and ambitious, and neither is much of a rover. However, there are two strong wills at work here. Taurus's passionate sexual nature meets more than its match in Scorpio-in fact, the sexual element in this affair borders on the obsessive. But Scorpio's overbearing, possessive, jealous nature makes Taurus simmer with resentment. This is a tempestuous affair, and neither has the tolerance to make the union last.

Translation: Hot Sex + Restraining Order = A Taurus and Scorpio Relationship.


GEMINI AND SAGITTARIUS

These two are opposites in the zodiac and are attracted to each other like magnets. They'll especially enjoy each other's minds for both have wide-ranging and varied interests. Sagittarius tends to be more intellectual, Gemini more social. Both are too restless and argumentative, and both need freedom. They may be disappointed sexually, since neither is demonstrative-and Gemini is very quick to criticize. This affair probably began impulsively and will end the same way.

Translation: When paired, you will be known as the “Tour De Force” couple at the cocktail party but a “Tour De Farce” in the bedroom. Save yourself the awkward “Don’t worry, it happens to everybody” speech and just keep things platonic.

CANCER AND GEMINI

Gemini's sparkle immediately intrigues Cancer, but Cancer won't find security with fickle, fly-by-night Gemini. Basically, Cancer's nature is emotional and Gemini's is cerebral, and that makes it difficult for them to understand each other. Although sexual energies are well matched, Cancer will have a hard time adjusting to Gemini's playful, nonchalant attitude toward love. Possessive Cancer will try to keep Gemini hemmed in, and Gemini can't abide that. It's a short countdown to the finish.

Translation: Cancer, no matter how many times you tell yourself that a booty call is all you want, you secretly know that it’s not true so why set yourself up for failure?


LEO AND VIRGO

Leo is drawn to Virgo's intellectualism, but Virgo doesn't understand Leo's dramatic nature. Leo can't get from cool, reserved Virgo the sexual responsiveness it demands. Virgo is practical and prudent; Leo is extravagant and a spendthrift. Leo likes to live life in a really big way, but Virgo is conservative, frugal and a nit-picker--which puts a damper on Leo's high spirits. Virgo won't be dominated either. Leo needs lots of flattery, but Virgo's tendency is to puncture inflated egos. Both of them should look elsewhere.

Translation: This pairing is the equivalence to a 50 yr old man dating a woman that’s the same age as his daughter. No matter how you spin it, it just doesn’t work out.


VIRGO AND SAGITTARIUS

These two are like the grasshopper and the ant. Sagittarius's free spirit has nothing in common with hardworking Virgo. Sagittarius has a reckless gambler's spirit, while Virgo carefully builds for future security. Both are intellectual signs but the way their minds work clashes with each other. Sagittarius is expansive and extravagant, while Virgo prefers a simple, ordered, and unpretentious life. Sagittarius considers Virgo's sexual attitudes rather prudish, and won't stay long in one bedroom anyway.

Translation: Sagittarius enjoys counting cards at the poker table for an income while Virgo prefers to counting on annuities. These two signs do not add up to love.

CRAP Syndrome

This message is brought to you by your in-house physician Dr. Abby Normal. There is a serious affliction plaguing the work places across America that requires your immediate attention! CRAP Syndrome (Continual Redundancy And Placation) has mainly been spotted in the work places where a set routine is part of the job description. Symptoms of CRAP are as follows: Headaches, nausea, reevaluation of career choices, attempted self termination with an empty toner cartridge, and finally catatonia. If left untreated, CRAP can spread into the afflicted's weekends causing them continual suffering and discomfort. Treatment for CRAP Syndrome is as follows: Vacate the premise where CRAP Syndrome harbors and meet at a watering hole where you can enjoy a cocktail and laughter with fellow co-workers who do not inflame the symptoms of CRAP Syndrome.

Regards,

Dr. Abby Normal

Ode To The Frozen Lunch Meal

Dear frozen delicacy how you brighten my day. You are always the economical meal ticket when my finances are in a slump. The way your contents never look as appealing as the photo on your package makes me want to scream out false advertising yet I remember that you were a 4 for $5 bargain. No matter how long I watch you spin joyously in the microwave I can always count on biting into a frozen piece of broccoli or enriched macaroni product. You offer a healthy dose of daily vitamins and nutrients, namely the 200% sodium serving that is causing my post lunch cotton mouth that I look so forward to each day. You should be recognized as the 8th wonder of the world based solely on the fact that given the proper storage you could survive for over 4,000 years and still be as tasty as you were today.

Your Faithful Consumer,

Dawn

Standard Issue Three Inch Heels

What is the easiest way to spot a female tourist in downtown Charleston? Many say that confused driving, aimless wandering and heat strokes are the obvious symptoms but there is an additional sign of the female tourist that often goes unnoticed, the absence of three inch stiletto shoes. Despite the fact that female tourists visiting Charleston may wander aimlessly they do it wearing tennis shoes or sandals. How is this a tell-tale sign of a tourist? Well, simply put, walking in Charleston while wearing anything other than flat foot wear can be a dangerous situation for both the wearer and the people surrounding them without proper training. Many have witnessed an untrained woman parading around downtown in a pair of three inch stilettos when out of nowhere she face plants it on the sidewalk for no other seeming reason than lack of coordination but there is more than meets the eye. Downtown Charleston is the Bermuda Triangle equivalent when it comes to disappearing balance and grace. Despite the fact that Charleston is known as the “low country”, the streets and sidewalks are subject to change into uneven terrain without warning. Women who have mastered the art, and yes it is an art, of walking the streets of downtown Charleston are highly trained soldiers who have seen more than one agility war in their day. Often dubbed the “Charleston Shuffle” women are forced to rethink their entire walking strategy in order to survive the vast amounts of uneven pavement, cobblestones, grates and the occasional unconscious drunk. The streets of downtown Charleston are fierce battle grounds that require a practical yet aggressive strategy utilizing a highly trained sense of sight and balance. In order to not go down in a blaze of humiliation a woman living in Charleston needs to complete BOOT (Balancing Over Obstacles Training) camp. BOOT camp requires that women complete several stiletto drills in order to prepare herself for combat in all of the Red Zones. Stiletto drills often require women to walk in loose gravel, play hop-scotch and walk backwards while wearing their standard issue three inch heels. These drills heighten a woman’s ability to tackle the many land mines that Charleston’s streets and sidewalks offer. So the next time you take note of a tourist holding up traffic and wandering aimlessly let it be a reminder that anyone can roam the streets of downtown Charleston but only a Standard Issue Three Inch Heel soldier can do it with style.
