At one time they made fake cell phones so you could act like you were making big business deals in the car and everyone driving past you would think you were a big shot. Surveys say that some people are still walking around talking into cellphones with no one on the other end.
They should make fake bluetooth ear contraptions for crazy people that are prone to talking to themselves. That way no one will think you are talking to your imaginary friends or enemies and think you are insane- they will think you are talking on the cell phone.
I JUST REALIZED I AM A PENNYAIRE!
THE HOMELESS HOMELESS
The New York City Transit Strike a year ago caused the homeless who live in the subway stations to be thrown out on the streets, due to the stations being locked up.
The homeless living in the subway weren't homeless because they were living somewhere thus they had a home. Now they were re-homeless because they no longer have a home. Will homeless advocates sue the striking unions for causing the homeless unhomeless to become homeless.
WE BEEN HYPMOTIZED
They promote the sale of DVD players for the car for bickering rowdy kids in the backseat so they will HYPMOTIZED by the tv instead of fighting.
Whatever happened with threatening to stop the car or turning the car around and going home? I always thought Kid Cages in the back seat would be the most effecive if it wasn't frowned upon by the authorities.
TIMES HAVE CHANGED
There was a time when Heisman trophy winners may not have gone on to play professional football- mostly pre-1950's players. 1951 winner Richard Kazmaier went directly to Harvard Business School instead of signing with the NFL. He said that he would never make as much money playing football as he would in business. So, he didn't waste his time or his legs.
COOL WEBSITE
It may be a bad idea to point you away from the MR BAD IDEAS website, but here is a good one. SIGNSPOTTING.COM It has photos sent in by fans of the site of signs that are unintentionally ironic.
Example- An empty lifeguard booth with a telephone number on the side or an escalator full of people headed up to the 24 hour Fitness Center.
I'LL HAVE A TRIPLE CHEESE DOUBLE GREASEBURGER
Except for salads, "healthier" food like veggie burgers don't sell at fast food restaurants. They keep them on the menu as a defense against "You Made Me Fat" lawsuits. Going out to eat is still always a treat instead of a chore, no matter what kind of restaurant you go to.

60 cent A PACK HOT DOGS
I refuse to buy hot dogs that cost 60 cents a pack at the grocery store. Someone must be desperate to get rid of the meat in them.
Out of the 60 cents in the price comes the cost of packaging, manufacturer's profit, wholesaler's profit, retail profit, shipping (it costs a lot to ship a pound of anything). That probably puts the value of the meat(?) into the negative. So, they are paying you to take it off their hands.
60 cents a pack hot dogs serve a dual marketing purpose. They can sell them to cheapskates and repel others to the $3 or more variety so they can feel secure and superior. For all I know, there isn't any difference in the meat(?).
Another Health Nut Horror: In Clifton, New Jersey they line up at Rutt's Hut where they deep fry hot dogs. You can get an "in-and-out" which is barely dunked to "The Ripper" which is deep fried until the skin rips open. People love 'em. They probably have a few doctors who sneak into Rutt's Hut wearing dark glasses and hoods.

Question: Which side of the aluminum foil should be on the outside, the shiny or the dull side?

DON'T SPEND IT ALL IN ONE PLACE
In May, Fidel Castro in a move that would delight Teddy Kennedy raised the minimum wage in Cuba from $5 to $11.
That's a month.
He left out government workers and other professionals for pay raises. Fidel is remedying that. Doctors will get a $7.40 increase and those with a master's degree will get a $1.50 to $4 raise. A month.
Housing, education and other basics in Cuba are free and everything else is subsidized. Basically paychecks are equivalent to Daddy giving you an allowance.
YOU CAN'T FOOL MR BAD IDEAS
It started as a horticulture program at the Hillsborough County, Florida Jail- growing hot peppers. Then, the inmates suggested making hot sauce out of them. They say they want to make it to sell and earn money for the inmates canteen.
That is what they say. I have figured out what they are really up to. The Mythbusters show on cable tv proved that if you continuously rub hot sauce on jail bars the acid will eventually eat through the metal.
