Good thing you didn't fall cause that drawer is open and if you fell, you would've gone over the chair and hit your eye on the drawer causing the cabinet to topple over onto your computer which would shoot out sparks and set the whole place on fire and you would burn to death while being crushed with the corner of a drawer in your eye...you are SO lucky."

Get the designated texter mug.A cop was staking out a particularly rowdy bar for possible DUI violations. At closing time, he saw a fellow stumble out of the bar, trip on the curb and try his keys on five different cars before he found his. The man sat in the front seat fumbling around with his keys for several minutes.
Meanwhile, all the other patrons left the bar and drove off. Finally he started his engine and began to pull away. The cop was waiting for him. As soon as he pulled onto the street, the cop stopped him, read him his rights and administered the breathalyzer test to determine his blood-alcohol content.
The results showed a reading of 0.0.
The puzzled cop demanded to know how that could be. The driver replied, "Tonight I'm the designated drunk."

Get the Designated Drunk mug.every cool ski resort, ski town, or surf spot (among other vacation type places): Yuppies and super rich retiring baby boomers invade in a seemingly endless parade of bright red spyder jackets and fur coats. They are transported by huge 2mpg SUVs (Hummers and Escalades seem to be their choice, the bigger after market chrome rims and bling the better) that will never go offroad and are only there to compensate for a small penis or to look hip to the younger skiers and snowboarders living in these towns who usually have to wait on their pompous asses to afford a season pass and crappy housing at whatever resort town or cool beach front is being taken over. This is quickly followed by the cutting down of aspen trees or using TNT to blow out cliffs to build 8000-10000sq ft McMansions and Garage Mahals that will be used 2 months out of the year,destroy tons of natural resources and animal habitats, and drive the price of living (and ski passes) through the roof.

A member of a team who resides on the bench for most of the season, can be seen constantly waving a towel, leading "Defense!" cheers from the pine, and only breaking a sweat due to the intensity of their encouragement of the superstars. Usually a white guy; never sits down and never stops yelling; has no fear of harassing the referees or smack-talking the other players because he knows that he'll never go in the game.
