    Some things just shouldn't be funny.

    BBC NEWS | World | Americas | Wheelchair man gets highway ride

    I shouldn't have laughed out loud at this. Least not on a packed commuter train, but can you imagine seeing that go past down the road?

    The bloke was unhurt and seemed to enjoy the ride. I envy him.

    Only in America would somebody go through that and only complain about spilling his soda

    As a wheelchair service occupational therapist, once I'd stopped trying to figure out what type of chair he was in, I have to say the guy was pretty lucky! I mean, can you imagine getting away with that on the roads in the Highlands!

    They'll all want a go know.

    Stand by for stories about disaffected young wheelchair yoofs going for a completely new type of joy-ride, where you don't nick the car...

    Re: Some things just shouldn't be funny.

    My housemate lives in Monday to Thursday, and goes home to his wife and children, in the West Country, at the weekends. Meanwhile I went to my sister's for the weekend this weekend, planning to come back this morning. Last night I got several texts and phone messages from him in quick succession, along the lines of: "where are you, urgent"

    a) He's come back early, on Sunday night.

    b) On Friday, he'd forgotten all his keys (including both houses & his office) at his office in London.

    c) We have a spare set lodged with a neighbour. He neglected to mention he also forgot his keys at the office on Thursday night, had already got the spare set, but hadn't returned them, so they're in his bedroom in my house .

    d) He had his bike with him - but no lock or keys (in the office of course), so sat outside the house, in the rain, for 2 hours, in cycling gear, whilst I got sorted out and drove back to London.

    e) He comes dancing occasionally, if I introduce you to him, please keep reminding him what his name is, because he obviously has the memory of a goldfish

    Sorry, I found this hilarious and had to share. (Schadenfreude - me? )

    My 11 year old decided to see how long he could stick the half a tennis ball he'd found, to his forehead. Yep, you guessed it, he ended up with a massive 'lovebite'. Wouldn't leave the house without his cap for 3 days. (Naughty mummy couldn't help laughing)
