Have you ever wondered what's happening to all those plants left behind in offices shuttered by work-from-home?

They're being taken care of by a corps of volunteers, whose motto is "Semper ficus".

If you sell vacuum cleaners, business will be picking up.

Well, there are the evergreens, homing pigeons and boomerangs, but their markets are highly competitive.

How about waterproof sieves? But watch out for thieves! A comparably safe good would be firewood for rent.

That's easy, every vacuum cleaner sucks.

In one way or another.Second hand hand prosthesis? They come in quite handy.

Only way Microsoft can do something that doesn't suck is if they made vacuum cleaners.

Do you know how to tell the sex of an ant? Drop it in a glass of water. If it floats: boy ant.

And further on the topic, did you know that ants don't get sick? It turns out that they have little anty bodies.
