<p>Once the donated books go in, they never come out.</p>
<p>Either that, or the person who does empty the books out is a thief.</p>
<p>Those are the only two options I see.</p>

<p>These barbers became tree trimmers, just &#8220;taking a little off the top&#8221; as they shorten this small forest from the top down. </p>
<p>Next I think they were going to clean up the ears and shave the neck of the woods.</p>
<p>An alternative lumberjack approach!</p>

<p><strong>Seen on the website of a hospital</strong>: &#8220;Perhaps our best kept secret is our location on the shores of beautiful <em>&lt;location hidden to maintain anonymity. Please use your imagination to fill in this gap&gt;</em>&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>Makes you wonder what other secrets they have hidden. Perhaps an underground training facility for mutant doctors, led by a bald man in a wheelchair blessed with the power to cure the world&#8217;s illnesses but  ironically unable to cure his own affliction.</p>
<p>Or perhaps it&#8217;s a hospital for superheroes? The logistical side to all those cartoons we grew up watching.</p>
<p>Does this explain the <a href="http://www.chickenmonkeydog.com/lets-hope-its-not-too-much-of-an-emergency/">hospital emergency directions we saw</a>? </p>

<p>Continuing our theme of <a href="http://www.chickenmonkeydog.com/is-there-an-app-for-this/" title="Is there an app for this?">mobile phones and situations of questionable inappropriateness</a>, we&#8217;re coming at you with a question about Facebook. </p>
<p><strong>The background:</strong><br />
Not too long ago, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania passed a law to make it illegal to use a mobile phone to send texts, emails, Tweets and the like while driving.</p>
<p><strong>The incident:</strong><br />
On a recent trip that took me onto the PA Turnpike, I passed a driver holding the Facebook mobile app open. Facebook?!? What could someone driving possibly need to do on Facebook while driving 60+ miles per hour?  I understand the desire to text: let someone know you&#8217;re running late. But Facebook?  </p>
<p><strong>The question:</strong><br />
Help me out, what am I missing here?</p>

<p>Saw some guy in a bathroom stall with his iPhone set on the floor just in front of the toilet while he did his business.</p>
<p>In addition to being completely disgusting, do you suppose there is any good reason for this?</p>

<p><em>Due to the dynamics of this ride, it is recommended that all earrings be removed prior to riding.</em></p>
<p>Fair warning, I suppose. But Brad, from Michigan, reports that, &#8220;incidentally, the ride caused no trouble for my navel ring.&#8221;</p>
<p>Thanks Brad, for spotting and sharing this bit of quirky!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Does a negative multiplied by a negative equal a positive in language too?</p>
<p><img src="http://www.chickenmonkeydog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/fire-escape.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>I suggest that perhaps, in this instance at least, it might.</p>
<p>Sure, maybe sometimes <strong>fire</strong> is good and sometimes you are glad to get an <strong>escape</strong>, so perhaps they are not totally negative words. But generally I think fire is something to be avoided and wouldn&#8217;t you prefer to be in a situation that did not require escape?</p>
