Funny Stuff Should We Talk About The Weather?

Maybe you’d better rephrase that

Let me be the first to say that there’s nothing funny about the severe weather that’s been killing folks by the dozen across the southern states. I’ve seen videos of Alabama tornadoes tonight that make me want to mess my pants, even though I’m on Youtube. Stuff like that makes me feel pretty sheepish about posting cell phone photos of the relatively mousy little rotating wall cloud that drifted over my house last night.

Death from above

When you work with teevee weather people, you’re used to thunderstorm warnings and tornado warnings and flash flood warnings… but this morning, live on the air, our weatherman had a new one to deal with:

Attention snowflakes and ice

Sit on this and spin!Attention, all snowflakes and ice occupying any portion of my property:

The current temperature here is well over 50 degrees Fahrenheit, i.e. 20 degrees above the freezing point of water. You are hereby requested and required to vacate the premises immediately. If you wish to stay here in a liquefied state, that will be an acceptable compromise, but I am hereby banning all frozen water from this property immediately.

If you do not vacate the premises immediately as instructed, you are liable to find yourself dyed yellow by the least hygenic means available to me and my dog.

That is all.

Love,
The Management
