Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread the stupidity and send this to someone you want to bring a smile to (maybe even a chuckle). We all need a good laugh, at least once a day!

Thanks to our friend Phil Black who shared these, I just think they are so good I couldn't resist posting them again.

Feel free to add your own funny or quirky HEADLINES and PHRASES that you've found.

Have a great day friends!
