There's a twitter account called @ITSSADWHEN which is funnier and sadder than these.
Some of those are extraordinary:
IT'S SAD WHEN A FIANCÉ BORROWS YOUR SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 AND YOU HAVEN'T GOT A FIANCÉ OR A SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 AND YOU'VE INHALED A STARLING.
I like this one:
IT'S SAD WHEN YOU SHOW OFF YOUR SEXY ANGEL COSTUME TO A LOVER AND YOU HAVEN'T GOT A LOVER AND YOU'VE STAPLED A FURIOUS SWAN TO YOUR BACK.
Also:
IT'S SAD WHEN YOU TELL FRIENDS YOU'VE INVENTED FUSION POWER AND IT TURNS OUT YOU'VE FUSED TWO ADAMS TOGETHER INSTEAD OF TWO ATOMS.
The one on the page put me in mind of a long-time song lyric mishearing: Chefs arrive and take the picture from the wall.
I hope otters have eaten any love letter I've ever written. Yikes.
That's why I write love letters on mollusks.
Since this is the tragedy thread, I give you the Daily Mail, by illiterates, for illiterates: twitter.com/mikejjennings/...
insane and beautiful internet troll is forever out of reach.
I think I enjoyed 8 the way people enjoy horror movies.
Chefs arrive and take the picture from the wall.
I can't figure out what the actual song might be. Please tell me so I can stop repeating this phrase.
Yaz, "Too Pieces."
"Shuts her eyes and takes the picture from the wall."
For the record, I consider these more cute than either sad or funny.
I was reserving judgement until I had read them all, but I enjoyed them. I think this might be my favorite.
Those parasites are pretty cool, it has to be said.
16: AAAAAUGH. Seen them before, but still AAAAAUGH.
