Things that make you chuckle

That doesn't make me chuckle, more of a cringe.
The idea of attracting someone with your car seems crass to me.
Is that a Prius?  I don't know why they can't be made look better for the $ they cost.
Still, I think I'd prefer people attracted to a Prius than a Mr Desperate Mobile.
Dogs are supposed to be good for meeting people, dog walkers seem a lot less desperate anyway and desperate is unattractive.

Bugatti - but, yeah, I would not wsnt to know any woman who was attracted to me only by my car. But then, I am no sex machine out for quick lays!

"Dogs are supposed to be good for meeting people,"

I can attest to that. I walk my dogs regularly and the other dog walkers I meet are almost exclusively nice people like me.

Glad you added "almost", Tank, exclude the owner of the Rottweiler that bit me! But yes, I agree, 99% . . . My friend Jane's 10 minute walks usually last at least twice that with all the greeting and chatting. And if there are kids around taking rations and water might be a good idea.

I don't have any dogs these days, although I live with a dog and two cats at my son's home.  Generally, I have found the dogs I have had in the past were good judges of the character of the people I've met when out for a walk.  If the dog didn't like them I usually found I didn't either.  The dog I live with these days - Rogue, a black cocker spaniel - not so much.  She loves everybody! LOL

Bluenose; I agree that dogs are generally good at assessing the intent of the stranger.  My big Irish setter, Molly, was the sweetest girl n town  but when I was approached by a stranger that Molly did not like she curled her lips back and got herself between me and the stranger. .  I learned that she was almost always right.  My Bernese, Teddy,  was equally shrewd about such things,  He too was a gentle sweetheart but became dangerous if he thought that there was any threat to me.  I often worked alone, except for Teddy, late in my machine shop that was in a seedy area of town.  I never needed the shotgun that was nearby. When a ninety pound canine  makes a growling sound like distant thunder.......few dared to challenge him.

Ha, Icarus, I get what you mean by the deep growl.  Many years ago a friend of mine had a very large German shepherd named Carl.  When anyone came to the door he would bark and growl with a sound that started about 30 feet underground.  The thing was, although he sounded absolutely ferocious, if you simply said "Aww, what's the matter Carl?" he would turn into a little puppy dog wagging his tail!  LOL

I got a good laugh out of this one but it's keeping me up at night. How in the hell did they manage it?!



I mean, they didn't roll it over because rolling a bulldozer would leave something crushed. The undercarriage is in good shape, the cab looks like new, and the tracks are on one piece. ???

There is something top right, a bridge, railway or something? A flatbed truck would not be high enough.

I csn imagine it driving off a higher level then nose diving. The chances of it keeping balance at the speed it had to be doing though . . .

AS Dave mentioned I think the clue is in the bridge top right of the picture.

But how to get it on its tracks again without it hitting the bridge?

[jumbojak]

Aha! I didn't even notice whatever that is on the right. The hill caught all my attention.

Maybe a BIG excavator, or a crane. Either way once it's on its feet again it'd be a whole before it was safe to start and run. There would be a lot of oil in places it's not supposed to be and I could see either hydrolock or a runaway if it was started without at least sitting for a few days.
