Be careful what you wish.

We used to shout "Freedom for Greenland! Away with the ice shield!" as kids, now, see where it brought us to!

Devices of this type are used for a couple purposes.

One is to store keys to a nearby door. You flip down the cover and it exposes a keypad. Inside is the key to the door. It's often used, for example, for parts lockers. This way, you can give out the combo to people who are supposed to be able to get in the door. If the people who are permitted change, you can change the pass code.

Another is to store a thing that a security guard has to use to turn a device on his monitor clock on his belt. This proves he made his appointed circuit.

Still, the Lock Picking Lawyer often finds that Master Lock products are not of high quality.

I said that to so many Ex girlfriends...

Probably why I have so many ex girlfriends?

No, it's because I answered so many of those questions.

I'm amused (well I was amused the first two or three times I saw them) by the regular comments on his videos suggesting that one day he'll get arrested for picking something he shouldn't have and the next video will start "I've been put in the county jail and there are some inexcusable weaknesses in the cell door locks..."

Same with me pointing out in Bruno Mars' video " It will Rain", that morphine is used for physical, not emotional, pain. No wonder I'm writing this comment from my home on Friday night , while all others are out in bats, clubs.

Lance is an uncommon name nowadays.

But in medieval times people were named Lance a lot.

A boy was born without a body, only a head. When he turned 21, his father took him to the bar for his first beer.

The boy took a sip and suddenly grew a torso. The boy was so excited, he took another sip. Suddenly he grew arms.

He took another sip and he grew legs. He was so overwhelmed with joy that he ran out of the bar and into the street and was hit by a big rig and died.

The moral of the story is: Sometimes it's good to quit while you're a head.

That's not just lame, it's lame squared. No, wait, it's lame factorial!

Search for the word "adder", restricting it to "this thread". I knew I'd told that one at some point... It doesn't work with the images, unfortunately.

So scientists always thought the antennae were for sensing smell, but actually they're 5G receivers?

Terry Gilliam / Monty Python

The joke is somewhat spoilt by the fact that the title of the clip gives away the punchline.
