A man is on a boat out at sea with his friend. Friend: “you want to go for a swim?” Man: “No way, I’m not risking a shark attack!” Friend: “90% of all shark attacks occur within 100 yards of the shore “ Man: “Yeah that’s because that’s where all the people are” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably sitting in a bowl on your kitchen counter or fridge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well homo erectus lived in a 100% natural environment and their life expectancy was 20 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of stupid slogans for products, "Secret" deodorant claiming to "pH balanced" was always so stupid to me. It's just there to sound all scientificy to idiots. Also there was a motor oil commercial I remember that claimed it "fought viscosity and thermal breakdown". Yeah. No sh*t. I bet that sounds fancy if you're a moron. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
