A Weird & Wonderful World

In my travels… maybe something like 25 countries around the world (with the exception of Africa so far)… I have seen many amazing things and met many fascinating people.

There’s already a blog on this website detailing some of those comical spectacles I’ve come across but for some delightful reason, things continue to pop up and amuse me.

It’s a complex and funny world out there and I’m just lucky enough to be part of it

I have been asked frequently how I come up with my funny stories or if I go out of my way to find humourous things happening out there in God’s/the Creator’s creation and I gotta say ‘no’. I just keep my eyes open.  That’s the real talent in writing. Keep those eyes open because God/The Creator is a far funnier writer than anything most of us who call ourselves funny writers could come up with.  And as I continue to make my way through life, I just see more and more of the intrinsic humour that can live within people, places and situations. It’s better than youtube.

Some of the pictures you are about to see are accidental. Some are created on purpose by people. Others are a combination of both. And as with the true nature of humour, some may annoy, puzzle, even offend some people. That is a chance many humourists take. Just remember, I didn’t create any of the images you will see here, I merely record and share. And to be honest, if its here, I found it funny.

Enjoy.
