OMG, I've been peeing my pants laughing over these all week (see previous post too). The Japanese may have cornered the cute market, but nobody beats the Brits for absurdist humour. The "you can has Ugandan monies" one is especially good.
I saw this ad on the local Craigslist the other day and thought it was too hilarious not to share (bold text added by me for emphasis):
"As landlords, we pride ourselves on being fair, professional, approachable, and advocates for our tenants and their rights. We uphold all of the legal rights of our tenants and then some, because satisfied tenants are the most important part of having rental housing. Not the building, the tenants. To that end we have very few rules.
One is no smoking inside the building. Unfortunately, we can’t be flexible on this because of health concerns of other tenants. But, I will provide a killer gorgeous ashtray outside to make your smoking experience more enjoyable. I would prefer my tenants not smoke for their own sake, but I’m not their parent and they make their own choices. Nix the gorgeous part, I’ll just provide the killer ashtray.
The second rule is play nice with others. Mutual respect among the tenants makes living in this building very pleasant. No one has to like each other but respect and civility go a long way in making life more enjoyable. Quirky interesting tenants are a joy to have around and I’ve learned so much from them. (Who knew buckwheat was edible? Not me.)
The last rule is paying your rent on time. That is the first of the month unless we have some other arrangement. The bank requires that I pay on time. If I tell them my dog died, my car broke down, I forgot… they look at me like I’m a clueless idiot. Banks aren’t nice. They are all about rules.
We try to be a little more human than a bank and keep our rules to a minimum. Once we start relying on rules, laws, acts, and regulations, we’ve lost the most important aspect of a landlord tenant relationship, mutual respect and open communication.
Don’t put me in the position that I have to act like a heartless banker. I can, and I will but it’s just not fun.
So if you think these three rules are reasonable, you want to enjoy living among the very best tenants in Ottawa, and deal with a fair but fun landlord, we have a one bedroom available for $897 everything included."
Wish I could take credit for this gem:

If you want a laugh, read through some of the comments under his cartoons. He gets the GOP lie-swallowing die-hards so riled up and indignant, it's hilarious.
