Mitch4 sends this in: “Not genuinely funny enough for LOL, but it was an “oh yeah, exactly that has happened to me!”. Mine was not a refurb but a brand new vacuum. After a few weeks I thought the cylinder looked full, and while trying to find the “detach to empty” latch I pressed the “open the bottom lid in place” button instead, and had the pile of refuse on my floor.”

And on a similar theme:



At one time there was an “Adult Superstore” in an upcycled Stuckey’s off Interstate 65 somewhere in mid-Kentucky. I never stopped, but I frequently wondered what their take on “pecan logs” would be.
I’m sure I ate in many as a child, but the only things I remember from Stuckeys were the pecan logs and the rack of cheap country music cassettes on the counter.
Many years ago, there was a TV movie The Return of Sherlock Holmes which has the original Holmes frozen somehow and revived by “Jane Watson”, a descendant of the original, played by the delightful Margaret Colin. C;early meant as a pilot that didn’t go.
There were some fish-out-of-water jokes with Holmes in 1980s USA. One was him needing a reference book and heading to a store.
Watson: “Uh, Holmes, that’s an adult bookstore.”
Holmes: “So, I’m an adult.”
A bit later he comes back with a dazed expression on his face. (Is that unnecessarily redundant? Can you have dazed expression elsewhere on the body?)
