The world thinks I don't have a sense of humour. My friends, relatives, colleagues and boss say my body is devoid of a single funny bone. So, to prove them wrong, I have decided to direct them to sites guaranteed to raise a few smiles.
My first suggestion -- Photocartoonist, chock full of funny e-cards. Mug shots of dogs and cats to people caught with the strangest expressions on their faces; that's what you can find on the postcards here. My favourite? The Beasties.
Another way to prove I have a sense of humour: Screensavers from Sticker Nation. Funny, animated one-liners make these perfect for downloading. Check the latest ones deploring George Bush. And yes, did I mention that they're free?
Talking about Bush, politics can be a pretty funny subject, especially when it's the American elections being discussed. Remember the Bush and Gore fight from Florida to DC? Billionaires for Bush or Gore lets you know that there's no better way to make a difference in the world than by buying a president. So, these guys give you a shot at buying the one in power. They have a political platform, candidate price and even campaign material you could invest in. The pitch: Think of the high returns you'll get by investing on the top guy!
I have also found a site that could make babies smile. It's got interactive cards, screen savers, smiley numbers, shapes, as well as a smiley zoo. You can also record precious moments in the life of your kid, for family and friends. Finally, if all that smiling tires baby out, there are bedtime stories, songs and animated cartoons to soothe him or her to sleep.
By the way, what do you think of a child with a name like 'Microsoft', 'Coke', or 'Kraft'? It may be true, if a couple called Jason Black and Frances Schroeder have their way. They are looking for a corporate sponsor to pay half a million dollars for their son's name. Any takers?
The word 'baby' never fails to bring to mind stained sheets. Queen of Clean to the rescue. Here's where Linda Cobb (nicknamed the Queen of Clean) offers unusual, witty and natural cleaning methods. Did you know, for example, that you could use 'Tang' to clean your loo, or apply lemon juice to remove rust stains from white clothes? Bookmark for those emergencies when Mom is not home and the washing machine refuses to cooperate.
Not happy with just baby smileys? Try this, the place where smileys come alive. It's got smiley-wielding machine guns, alcoholic smileys and even smileys eating other smileys! Just as rough, and nowhere as pleasant, is Fantasy Death Row. The rules are simple: Pick three real convicts and, depending on whether they are pardoned or executed, you are awarded points. Gruesome, yes. Boring? No.
