Hi,
Oh yes I like a few of these:
“Frightened Man Wakes Up Knowing Exactly Where He Is”
A good UFO yarn I am sure of it.
“Man Who Just Got Assembled Desk Unsure How he has Every Screw Left Over”
I can relate.
“New Walgreen’s Plugin Allows Users to See what Prescriptions Friends are Picking Up”
This could be a good idea, especially if you have had a fight with a friend, you just never know what might turn up in your drink or food, this idea will surely give you a heads up.
“Greeting Each Other Like Normal Human Beings Impossible for Local Friends”
This confirms the UFO yarn. 😀
