Nut Very Smart

Do you read FailBlog.org? If not you should. It is hilarious. Until now I've resisted the urge to copy and past things from failblog to share with y'all but this one begs to be commented upon.


Where o' where shall I start?

Maybe with his decision to skinny dip in big blue. Mario. Dude. Have you never seen all the stuff that lives in the ocean?

Crabs and lobsters with big claws just made for grabbing a hold of your junk.


Eels, jellyfish, and sting rays are lurking below the surface all too eager to zap Mr. Squid. Haven't you ever heard of the Crocodile Hunter?


Sharks, barracudas, and a myriad of other toothy fish are swimming about and everyone of them would like a worm to snack on.


Yep, Mario swimming in the ocean while freeing willie was mistake number one. Oh, but you weren't punished for it, so you hop out of the chilly water and despite being the victim of shrinkage you don't feel the need to don clothes. I'll applaud you for the self-confidence as most dudes prefer to only be seen at their best, but Mario wasn't content to simply let little Luigi go about pale and shriveled. No he decided to camp out on a slatted deckchair. In the warm sun.

Now I've had a few nasty sunburns in my day so no way am I going to dangle my bits about and risk becoming the subject for a new version of chestnuts roasting on an open fire. Not to mention the long term chance of skin cancer. A bit of melanoma on the ol' Manitoba would not be a pretty sight.

And then he dozed off. I know lots of people sleep in the nude, but doing it in the safety and confines of your own bedroom is one thing. Hanging it all out at the beach while you are unconscious is another. Ants, bees, biting flies, stray dogs, kids with a Frisbee, the list of hazards are endless. As Mario's fate proves it's simply not healthy to let things roll around unattended.

And man oh man would I have hated to be on that maintenance crew who had to come saw the chair in half. I'm pretty sure that was not in their official job description. And poor, poor Mario. No one since Bill Buckner, has done as poor a ball handling job, but I do feel a bit of sympathy for Mario. Any man with a set of his own would have to. Having you guys hanging about in the presence of a whirling saw blade is far from a situation any man wants to find himself in.

  2. I didn't know nuts shrink in cold water and expand in hot air. I learned something new today. Thanks!

  3. While they may not have liked it, it was good that maintenance was there to give Mario a hand.

  4. Hmmm....not to burst anyone's bubble, but this story has been floating around the 'net for a couple of years now (got a few e-mails forward to me about it).

    Still incredibly funny though.

  17. Why did they cut the chair in half? Why not just carry him into the water and let the boys shrink again? Or spray them with cold water?

    ROFL! I love imagining the second scenario. The squirming, the screaming...

  20. You live in the Panhandle! How interesting. I've driven through there, and had a U-Haul break down there once (when it hit a load of brush that fell off a truck). Did you know that Bonnie and Clyde had a bad wreck one night in the Panhandle? Anyway, you're in an area about which I have a lot of curiosity but very little knowledge.

  21. I wouldn't worry too much about the maintenance crew. It sounds to me as if Mario was nuts over them. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  22. I'll bet that is a lesson he won't soon forget! Love the photos you included to illustrate your points ;)

    ReplyDelete
  23. oh gawd....wwhere's a camera when you really need one???! LOL!

  24. Travis, for the story of Bonnie and Clydes' Panhandle car wreck, check out the memoir of Blanch Barrow. Bonnie was nearly killed in that crash.

  37. Travis, you are KILLING me! I don't believe I've ever seen as many creative terms for a man's junk as you've got here. Well done. Er... good job.

  38. Janet has it right. My first thought was, "Don't they have fire extinguishers over there? Or ice?" But cold water would work, too. Loved the pictures.

    And now WordPress claims I don't own my identity. Someone stole my fake name??

    ReplyDelete
  39. Also laughing my ass off. Funny story but even funnier take on it.
