WTF Wednesday: a new take

WTF Wednesday is morphing. Today I bring to you two gems from the internet guaranteed to make you laugh far more than allowed for a Wednesday.

1. Now this first thing is is for real. Someone invented and is selling a Laptop steering wheel desk. First think about what this means. In what situation would you actually be able to use your laptop WHILE DRIVING?? Go see it on Amazon. The user-submitted photos and reviews killed me:

"This thing needs to have non-slide padding or ridges. My peculator and butane stove slid off during a right turn and tossed everything into the passenger seat. My car seat is now completely stained and ...it ruined a perfectly good cup of coffee. Oh, and my wife got burned by the flames."

"This has been a total lifesaver. It allows me to prop my sheet music against the wheel, allowing me to play the guitar with both hands while driving."

This gem comes from Garrick Anson (he's also on Twitter).

2. Letters from Blockbuster employee about overdue vids.

The correspondence between a blockbuster employee and famed letter-writer David Thorne made my ass fall off!

Here's a snippet:

Dear Megan,

Thank you for your letter regarding overdue fees. As all four movies were outstanding examples of modern cinematic masterpieces, your assumption that I would wish to retain them in my possession is understandable, but incorrect. Please check your records as these movies were returned, on time, over three weeks ago. I remember specifically driving there and having my offspring run them in due to the fact that I was wearing shorts and did not want the girl behind the counter to see my white hairy legs.

Regards, David.

Hi David

Our computer system indicates otherwise. Please recheck and get back to me.

Kind regards,

Dear Megan,

Yes, they are definitely white and hairy. Viewed from the knees down, the similarity to two large albino caterpillars in parallel formation is frightening. People who knew what the word meant might describe them as 'piliferous', although there is something quite sexy about that word so perhaps they wouldn't.

Regards, David.
