Baby Duck Hat

Awhile Back I wrote a blog that fetured quotes from Mitch Hedberg. At the time i figured he was the king of one liners. Until i discovered Jack Haney. This guy is hilarious. I have heard his name over the years, but never realized how many awsome jokes he has!

Be carefull about reading this blog while you are at work though...because you WILL laugh out loud, and you co-workers WILL think you are crazy.

Here are some of my favorites from Jack Haney:


To me, it’s always a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, ‘Hey, can you give me a hand?,’ you can say, ‘Sorry, got these sacks.’

Sometimes when I feel like killing someone, I do a little trick to calm myself down. I’ll go over to the person’s house and ring the doorbell. When the person comes to the door, I’m gone, but you know what I’ve left on the porch? A jack-o’-lantern with a knife in the side of its head with a note that says ‘You.’ After that, I usually feel a lot better, and no harm done.

Sometimes I think you have to march right in and demand your rights, even if you don’t know what your rights are, or who the person is you’re talking to. Then, on the way out, slam the door.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself. Mankind. Basically, it’s made up of two separate words—’mank’ and ‘ind’. What do these words mean? It’s a mystery, and that’s why so is mankind.

It’s too bad that whole families have to be torn apart by something as simple as wild dogs.

Instead of a trap door, what about a trap window? The guy looks out it, and if he leans too far, he falls out. Wait. I guess that’s like a regular window.

If you’re in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at some guys, throw one of those little baby-type pumpkins. Maybe it’ll make everyone think of how crazy war is, and while they’re thinking, you can throw a real grenade.

If you’re at a Thanksgiving dinner, but you don’t like the stuffing or the cranberry sauce or anything else, just pretend like you’re eating it, but instead, put it all in your lap and form it into a big mushy ball. Then, later, when you’re out back having cigars with the boys, let out a big fake cough and throw the ball to the ground. Then say, ‘Boy, these are good cigars!’

If you’re a cowboy, and you’re dragging a guy behind your horse, I bet it would really make you mad if you looked back and the guy was reading a magazine.

If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.

If you go through a lot of hammers each month, I don’t think it necessarily means you’re a hard worker. It may just mean that you have a lot to learn about proper hammer maintenance.

If I was being executed by injection, I’d clean up my cell real neat. Then, when they came to get me, I’d say, ‘Injection? I thought you said `inspection’.’ They’d probably feel real bad, and maybe I could get out of it.

If I was a cowboy in a lynch mob, I think I’d try to stay near the back. That way, if somebody shamed us into disbanding, I could sort of slip off to the side and pretend I was window-shopping or something.

If I lived back in the Wild West days, instead of carrying a six-gun in my holster, I’d carry a soldering iron. That way, if some smart-aleck cowboy said something like, ‘Hey look. He’s carrying a soldering iron!’ and started laughing, and everybody else started laughing, I could just say, ‘That’s right, it’s a soldering iron. The soldering iron of justice.’ Then everybody would get real quiet and ashamed, because they made fun of the soldering iron of justice, and I could probably hit them up for a free drink.

I’m telling you, just attach a big parachute TO THE PLANE ITSELF! Is anyone listening to me?!

I hope that after I die, people will say of me: ‘That guy sure owed me a lot of money.’

How come the dove gets to be the peace symbol? How about the pillow? It has more feathers than the dove, and it doesn’t have that dangerous beak.

Don’t ever get your speedometer confused with your clock, like I did once, because the faster you go, the later you think you are.

As the light changed from red to green to yellow and back to red again, I sat there thinking about life. Was it nothing more than a bunch of honking and yelling? Sometimes it seemed that way.

Ambition is like a frog sitting on a Venus’s-flytrap. The flytrap can bite and bite, but it won’t bother the frog because it only has little tiny plant teeth. But some other stuff could happen and it could be like ambition.

You know what would make a good story? Something about a clown who makes people happy, but inside he’s real sad. Also, he has severe diarrhea.

Whenever I see an old lady slip and fall on a wet sidewalk, my first instinct is to laugh. But then I think, what if I was an ant, and she fell on me. Then it wouldn’t seem quite so funny.

It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth you'd probably be able to get a lot of free games.

I bet a fun thing would be to go way back in time to where there was going to be an eclipse and tell the cave men, "If I have come to destroy you, may the sun be blotted out from the sky." Just then the eclipse would start, and they'd probably try to kill you or something, but then you could explain about the rotation of the moon and all, and everyone would get a good laugh.”

When I was a kid my favorite relative was Uncle Caveman. After school we'd all go play in his cave, and every once in a while he would eat one of us. It wasn't until later that I found out that Uncle Caveman was a bear.”

“If you ever crawl inside an old hollow log and go to sleep, and while you're in there some guys come and seal up both ends and then put it on a truck and take it to another city, boy, I don't know what to tell you.”

“Laurie got offended that I used the word "puke." But to me, that's what her dinner tasted like.”

“Instead of studying for finals, what about just going to the Bahamas and catching some rays? Maybe you'll flunk, but you might have flunked anyway; that's my point.”

“If any man says he hates war more than I do, he better have a knife, that's all I have to say”

“Instead of building newer and larger weapons of mass destruction, I think mankind should try to get more use out of the ones we have

"I think a good novel would be where a bunch of men on a ship are looking for a whale. They look and look, but you know what? They never find him. And you know why they never find him? It doesn't say. The book leaves it up to you, the reader, to decide. Then, at the very end, there's a page you can lick and it tastes like Kool-Aid."

"I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it."

I think a good product would be “Baby Duck Hat.” It’s a fake baby duck, which you strap on top of your head. Then you go swimming underwater until you find a mommy duck and her babies, and you join them. Then all of the sudden, you stand up out of the water and roar like Godzilla. Man those ducks really take off! Also Baby Duck Hat is good for parties.

If you saw two guys named Hambone and Flippy, which one would you think liked dolphins most? I'd say Flippy, wouldn't you? You'd be wrong though. It's Hambone.

Do you believe?

If the T.V is on in our house, 90% of the time we are tuned into either tsn, or tsn2. Julia and I both love watching sports. The problem with only really watching 2 stations is that we have to see a lot of the same commercials over and over again. Especially because both the stations we watch air the same commercials. Normally it's not a big issue, but lately there are 2 commercials that have really gotten under my skin.

1. The Vancouver 2010 commercials:

Most of the time commercials become annoying only after watching them like 10 times, and you become sick of them. This one was an exception to that rule. The first time i saw it, I was immediately angry with it. Part of the reason for this was because when i saw it the first time it was 14 months until the start of the Olympics. 14 Months!. I knew i would have to endure over a year of re-runs of this crappy spot. Let me explain the commercial for those of you living in a hole...

There are actually several versions of the same commercial, but it's basically the same thing with different kids. The premise of the commercial is a bunch of different kids talking (in high pitched annoying voices) about the upcoming Olympics. They are all in difference scenes doing things like playing hockey, standing on a ski hill, in front of the Ottawa Parliament ect. They each say things like "Canadian athletes are winning big time on the world stage" "Canada wins the games", "do you believe" ect. The stupidest comment out of them all is "there's an Olympian in all of us". What does that even mean? The 40 year old fat guy sitting on his couch is some sort of Olympian? no...he's not. It's useless, mindless jargin...just like the rest of the commercial.

What would make this commercial awesome is if while saying "there's an Olympian is all of us" they had a shot of angry beavers chasing said fat guy while he's trying desperately to learn how to work cross country ski's. Now THAT is Canadian!

#2 Tim Horton's "wrap man" commercial:

This commercial makes me more and more upset every time i see it. It doesn't help that it's on EVERY SINGLE time my hockey game goes to a commercial break.

This commercial features 2 men in an office setting discussing which one of them is "wrap man". One has a nameplate for his desk, and the other an office key card...both with the name "wrap man". At the climax of the commercial..."wrapgirl" walks by. I know, i can hardly contain my excitment!

Let's get something straight. Wraps are not manly. They are in fact the opposite of manly. So don't try to pass off "wrap man" as some sought after superhero title. Wrapman is not tough. He's a wuss that needs a kick in the junk (if there's anything even there). If you actually ordered a wrap for lunch, you should be eating it in the bathroom stall out of sheer embarrassment.

The only thing that would save this horrible commercial would be if right near the end, the office linebacker showed up and hammered everyone.

*note - the office linebacker does not eat wraps. And if he did, I would say nothing...

like taking candy...

So my Friends, today i just earned a free large coffee with just cream.

How did i do that you ask? Well it certainly wasn't by winning roll up the rim. I'm batting .000 on that front this year. I plan to bounce back next year...

No, today i made a bet that i cannot lose. You see, i am a tigers fan, and my friend jon is a...well he normally only likes whoever is good at the time, but he lives in TO so we'll call him a half hearted jays fan. We have made a wager that when the tigers finish the season with more wins...i get a coffee.

This bet is not only about which team is better, but it boils down to which one of us has the greater baseball knowledge. If I wanted a challenge, I'd put together a puzzle that only has 2 pieces. But this match pails in comparison.

So, technically i earned a free coffee, but have to wait till the end of the season to collect.
