Box of Applause [Multitudinous Appreciation On Demand]

Robert Lesher — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 14:14:23 +0000

There is just something warm and comforting about hearing a crowd erupt into thunderous applause. Whether at a football game or rock concert, the result is the same. Even though it might not be for you, you can still find solace in the act of being part of this communal adoration. It’s a team thing I suppose. But what if your life doesn’t leave much room for you to be appreciated? What if a brown-nosing colleague is always overshadowing you? What if you are simply a loser? Now you can have your own canned pat on the back anytime you need it with the Box of Applause. (...)

Humour – The Korean “Clock Lady”

Korean Clock Lady Video

This is a video of a prank call aired on the Howard Stern Show, where a caller calls the Korean owner of a clock repair shop. Unfortunately – and it is extremely unfortunate – the lady concerned seems wholly unable to actually say the word “clock” (a prerequisite of owning a clock shop one would have thought).

The resulting conversation is extremely amusing, and well worth a listen.
