Christmas Miracle: Virgin olive oil found to be pregnant

Branch with olives and a bottle of olive oil isolated on whiteWhen homeowners Kurt and Elizabeth walked into their kitchen, they were not expecting their usually skinny bottle of virgin olive oil to have a bump just below the mid section.

“I didn’t understand it.”, said Elizabeth as she held her husband’s hand tight with one hand while wiping a tear with the other. “I looked at Kurt and I could tell we were thinking the same thing: We have to get this checked out. So we went to a doctor. I was so anxious. Was it a tumor? Were we going to lose our little…”

Elizabeth ended up sobbing before finishing the quote.

The rest, as they say, is history. Doctors confirmed that the bottle of virgin olive oil was indeed pregnant.

“I couldn’t believe it. I just couldn’t believe it. I’ve seen a lot of corny Christmas stories about some ridiculous miracle. Never thought I’d be a part of it.” said Kurt as he was in the local hardware store looking for paint for the nursery.

The bottle’s identity is being kept a secret because the story’s author doesn’t want to single a brand of olive oil out. It said that an angel told it…or her…her that this would happen.

“Kurt had just finished pouring some of me on some meat; I think it was for spaghetti, and then there she was. A beautiful angel had come to tell me I would be with child. Here I am, a virgin, about to conceive. I never even had the talk!”

Companies and brands like Ripley’s Believe It or Not are reported to be in constant communication with the family concerning endorsements and even a sitcom on NBC.

When asked when the baby would be due, the oil said “any day now” while some how rubbing her belly with no hands. The bottle also denied an appearance on the Maury Povich show saying that she “ain’t got no baby daddy.”

Head blogger of DALANEL found to be insane

Authorities in Willingboro, N.J. found head blogger of the wildly mediocre blog, DALANEL, in a fetal position crying about the Philadelphia 76ers’ latest loss.

When his mother settled him down, Dante, as he was named shortly after birth, was mumbling about how his girlfriend left him. When authorities realized that Dante’s girlfriend was, in fact, a stuffed animal, they locked his room down.

“Yeah, I thought it would be some really ugly babe”, said Captain Maxwell Warner, who had interviewed the delirious Dante. “He’s certainly not capable of getting even a decent looking gal, in my professional pinion. God, knows when he showed me the wallet sized picture of a stuffed animal in a dress, I done nearly lost my freaking mind! Knowing guys his age, he probably wants to take over the world, or something, so we locked him down.”

Reporters questioned Dante’s father for answers.

“Heck if I know what he does in his bedroom. He’s a 22 year old virgin. I’m surprised the animal is still soft.”

Psychologists searched Dante’s room for answers to his apparent mental breakdown.

Weekly News 2

Here’s the good, weird/funny, and satirical news to hit the net this past week:

Okay so this good news is that a woman with a metal detector helped a newly wed couple find their wedding ring that was lost at sea…or really at shore. How nice of her.

We have a man who found $5,000 return it. Because that’s what good people do.

This good news just truly warms my heart. Here’s the basics:

Ben then called his fellow Community Action Officer, Jon McLachlan, and the two decided to take a ride to the local Target store. These officers not only purchased a pink plaid backpack for Leslie, they also bought a lunch box, water bottle (since she walks to school), folders, pens, markers, crayons, a ruler and pencils. The officers took the purchases back to the school and, before her first hour class was over, presented them to Leslie.

Absolutely wonderful.

Weekly News 1

It’s the first Weekly News where we look at this past week’s satire, good, and weird/funny news. Let’s get started:

Did you hear the one about the dead shark found on a NYC train? No one knows how it got there. I mean, all those people…the city that never sleeps…and we still don’t know…

No more fat kids! And I’m not trying to be funny here. The obesity rate for kids is dropping! Let’s celebrate by eating some cake…oh wait…

Okay now we’ve talked about some crazy news. And in my research, I’ve seen some stuff. But this is one of the oddest things. You ever have a problem finding a parking spot at the grocery store? Perhaps you live in an apartment complex or at least visiting someone and can’t get a spot? Welp, in London there’s a parking spot up for sale…for$465,000. What in the bloody…but wait, you own it for 91 years. It’s leased to you for 91 years. Just, wow.

Daily Good Stuff 100: The Best of DGS

I can’t believe I held on to make it to day 100. This calls for a celebration! And so, I will be picking my favorites from each post. My top five for each item:

  • video
  • image
  • gif
  • joke
  • quote
  • scripture
  • weird/funny news
  • good news
  • news satire

So this will be a very long post but also familiar. If you joined late, perhaps take a tour of the Good Stuff from the past. Also, Daily Good Stuff is a combination of two former features “Weekly Funnies” and “Good Friday” so check those posts out too. But I am only taking content from the DGS posts. We’ll go by the regular order so first up are my five favorite jokes:

#1: A man goes to the doctor with a long history of migraine headaches. When the doctor does his history and physical, he discovers that his poor patient has had practically every therapy known to man for his migraines and STILL no improvement.

“Listen,” says the Doc, “I have migraines too, and the advice I’m going to give you isn’t really anything I learned in medical school, but it’s advice that I’ve gotten from my own experience. When I have a migraine, I go home, get in a nice hot bathtub, and soak for a while. Then I have my wife sponge me off with the hottest water I can stand, especially around the forehead. This helps a little. Then I get out of the tub, take her into the bedroom, and even if my head is killing me, I force myself to have sex with her. Almost always, the headache is immediately gone. Now, give it a try, and come back and see me in six weeks.”

Six weeks later, the patient returns with a big grin. “Doc! I took your advice and it works! It REALLY WORKS! I’ve had migraines for 17 years and this is the FIRST time anyone has ever helped me!” “Well,” says the physician, “I’m glad I could help.” “By the way, Doc,” the patient adds, “you have a REALLY nice house.”

#2: A couple had been debating the purchase of a new auto for weeks. He wanted a new truck. She wanted a fast little sports-like car so she could zip through traffic around town. He would probably have settled on any beat up old truck, but everything she seemed to like was way out of their price range. “Look!” she said. “I want something that goes from 0 to 200 in 4 seconds or less. And my birthday is coming up. You could surprise me.” So, for her birthday, he bought her a brand new bathroom scale.

#3: A man being mugged by two thugs put up a tremendous fight! Finally, the thugs subdued him and took his wallet. Upon finding only two dollars in the wallet, the surprised thug said “Why did you put up such a fight?” To which the man promptly replied “I was afraid that you would find the $200 hidden in my shoe!”

#4: Ten Things You Wouldn’t Know Without Movies

  1. It is always possible to park directly outside any building you are visiting.
  2. A detective can only solve a case once he has been suspended from duty.
  3. If you decide to start dancing in the street, everyone you bump into will know all the steps.
  4. Most laptop computers are powerful enough to override the communication systems of any invading alien civilization.
  5. It does not matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts – your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one by dancing around in a threatening manner until you have knocked out their predecessors.
  6. No one involved in a car chase, hijacking, explosion, volcanic eruption or alien invasion will ever go into shock.
  7. When they are alone, all foreigners prefer to speak English to each other.
  8. You can always find a chainsaw when you need one.
  9. Any lock can be picked by a credit card or a paper clip in seconds, unless it’s the door to a burning building with a child trapped inside.
  10. Television news bulletins usually contain a story that affects you personally at that precise moment you turn the television on.

#5: A newlywed farmer and his wife were visited by her mother, who immediately demanded an inspection of the place. The farmer had genuinely tried to be friendly to his new mother-in-law, hoping that it could be a friendly, non-antagonistic relationship. All to no avail though, as she kept nagging them at every opportunity, demanding changes, offering unwanted advice, and generally making life unbearable to the farmer and his new bride. While they were walking through the barn, during the forced inspection, the farmer’s mule suddenly reared up and kicked the mother-in-law in the head, killing her instantly. It was a shock to all no matter their feelings toward her demanding ways.

At the funeral service a few days later, the farmer stood near the casket and greeted folks as they walked by. The pastor noticed that whenever a woman would whisper something to the farmer, he would nod his head yes and say something. Whenever a man walked by and whispered to the farmer, however, he would shake his head no, and mumble a reply.

Very curious as to this bizarre behavior, the pastor later asked the farmer what that was all about. The farmer replied, “The women would say, ‘What a terrible tragedy’ and I would nod my head and say, ‘Yes, it was.’ The men would then ask, ‘Can I borrow that mule?’ and I would shake my head and say, ‘Can’t. It’s all booked up for a year.’”

And onto the best videos:

Daily Good Stuff 94

Saturday. The weekend. We’re getting closer to summer time! At least for places that get 70+ degree weather. Well why don’t we get started with a joke.

With the help of a fertility specialist, a 65 year old woman has a baby. All her relatives come to visit and meet the newest member of their family. When they ask to see the baby, the 65 year old mother says “not yet.” A little later they ask to see the baby again. Again the mother says “not yet.” Finally they say, “When can we see the baby?” And the mother says, “When the baby cries.” And they ask, “Why do we have to wait until the baby cries?”

The new mother says, “because I forgot where I put it.”

And here I thought losing keys was bad enough! You like funny videos, right? I thought maybe a song would shake things up. I always liked this song:
