Sleeping Dogs In Silly Positions


Dogs have the uncanny ability to find themselves comfortable in the most uncomfortable of positions and places. Honestly some of these look like piles of legs.

Sure a desktop file can definitely look like a link that anyone can access, but that doesn't make it so. This employee shut down a ridiculous request with an extremely clear metaphor.

Movies That Would Be Way Shorter If Characters Were Reasonable


We get it, most movies need a central conceit in order to make the plot actually work.

It's kind of like these unrealistic movie details that will never stop being annoying.
