Fun, with a Lesson Thrown In

Just discovered a very funny blogger, Punch Debt in the Face. His specialty: stick figures (don't ask - just go look) and a large dash of real-life advice.
    That is, after you finish laughing at his warnings to smelly people, including:
     "Axe body spray is not a shower replacement. Contrary to popular belief, you will not be able to avoid bathing yourself for an entire week, throw on a bit of Axe, and expect the ladies to throw themselves at you like they do in the commercials. This is the  real world buddy. The only thing worse than the smell of Axe, is the smell of Axe on a smelly frat boy. Vomit!" (Tell that to the girlies, who used to avoid certain hallways in their high school -- the fumes of Axe were almost overpowering, they said. Not to mention the grabby hands and remarks of jocks who hung out there. Word.) 
     Then there are the women who " wash your hair with cucumber and green tea body soap, lotion up with vanilla bean shea butter, and spray 98 pumps of Chanel perfume on your neck and wrists." I get these well-meaning ladies in class sometimes; after multiple hugs, I smell like a very confused Wal-Mart. (It's why I stick to deodorant, soap and baby powder while teaching -- nothing else.)
    I also enjoyed  his admission that he has been officially qualified semi-stupid, instead of a complete moron. (Where can I get me one of those??)
    Combine this with sound financial advice, and you've got a visit that will leave you grinning every time. (Especially don't miss any entries in his series, "Things I Want to Punch in the Face.")  Although personally, those stick figures creep me out...
