Just because it was a short week, doesn’t mean I didn’t see a lot worth sharing!

They say “a picture paints a thousand words.”

Well, the photo below basically paints my life, and every man’s life, to a “T.”  Admit it, guys – you know what this is like.

We may as well just sleep on the darned floor…

Let’s start with something positive, since most of the rest of these photos are going to be jokes.

Here we have the bulletin in the elevator at 775 King Street West, which is a newly-registered building, in its first year of ownership, and where residents are likely going through the regular growing pains.

The builder, unlike most in downtown Toronto, seems to be taking a preemptive course of action, and the “Breakfast With The Builder” function looks to serve as a way of providing feedback (or complaints…) while getting information about the course ahead in return.

Be skeptical if you want, but most builders simply disappear after final closing, and it’s the job of the condo owner to chase them and try to get repairs and reparations…

While we’re on the subject of elevator bulletins, check out the latest insult to the intelligence in my building at 112 George Street…

I hate being treated like a moron, and I hate being treated like a child.  But I really hate being treated like a moronic child……..who smokes.

Read the bulletin below – the property manager is insinuating that they have the ability to levy $5,000 fines for people caught smoking in the stairwells, when clearly, they do NOT.

They write: “These areas will be patrolled more frequently, and the offending parties will be fined accordingly,” as if they have any authority over fines, whatsoever.

I can just see Darryl saying, “Make the cheque it payable to TSCC 2087….”

For anybody looking to get into the market for single-family homes, the photo below is a sight you need to get used to.

For those of you that aren’t aware, when a Realtor shows a property to his or her clients, that Realtor leaves behind a business card.

This is a shot of the kitchen counter of a Riverdale home after one day on the market:

Okay!  Back to having some fun…

THIS is the closet in a house I saw recently, where the most competitive family on earth resides.

Monopoly, Clue, Risk, Boggle, Scrabble, Pictionary, Battleship, Operation, Snakes & Ladders, Sorry, Mouse Trap, Twister, Flippin’ Frogs, Don’t Brake The Ice, Don’t Wake Daddy, Trouble, Kids on Stage, Ouija, Guess Who, I Spy, Zingo, Chess, Totally Gross, Cariboo, Brain Quest….

……four other versions of Monopoly, and a lot of games that I can’t make out in this blurry photo:

They say that “staging” is an art form.

They say that “staging” takes an expert, who went to staging school for five years, who obtained a Bachelor of Staging (known as a B.S.), and who has an eye like nobody else.

Tell that to the person who did this:

Okay, if you don’t like the piece I call “Sad Green Apples,” then what about the sequel called, “Four-and-a-half Lemons”?

It truly is, a work of art:

The cousin to “Sad Green Apples” is known as “Sad, Lonely Toilet.”

If you ever see an MLS listing that notes “1-pc bathroom,” you should know exactly what to expect.

Since any bathroom must have a toilet to be considered a bathroom (hence a 2-piece bathroom is a toilet and sink), then you should deduce that a 1-piece bathroom is exactly what it seems – a toilet.

Imagine being all alone, in the basement, doing your business next to the mop, and a 4-pack of Fantastik bought from Costco:

And last, but certainly not least – let’s give a shout out to George Costanza who could be, quite possibly, one of the best-known television show characters of all time.

I was in a multi-plex last week, and one of the tenants had the shirt pictured below.

I have to think whoever owns this shirt is young enough to think this is cool, but old enough to remember Seinfeld from before it was syndicated:

That’s all for this week, folks!

I loved that short week!  It just flew by!

Although, if you’re working both Sat/Sun, then it’s not really the weekend.  But I’ll be up at 7am on Sunday watching (gulp! I hope!) Team Canada take on……Sweden?

3-2 Canada, with Sid finally getting on the board.

Enjoy!
