The Hero Awards

To quote a famous, super hero, 'Not all heroes wear capes.'^*

* Sadly, judging by some of the comics I've read recently, many of those wearing capes nowadays have become villains.

Some heroes are regular people, just like you and I!^*

* To clarify, I'm not saying I'm a hero. I'm saying I'm a regular person. I don't want to appear boastful.

I've sometimes highlighted idiots on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog in the semi-regular Idiot Awards, but as well as the world being filled with idiots, thankfully it also contains a large number of heroes.

So to redress the balance, this week I hand out a selection of Hero Awards to deserving winners.

A seatbelt, pictured yesterday.

1) Car heroes

Most corporations nowadays are obsessed with profit, sometimes at the expense of public health or even public life, so it may seem unlikely that a corporation would ever be even remotely deserving of a Hero Award.

However, when Volvo invented the seatbelt back in 1959 they made the patent free for all car manufacturers because they believed that the lives saved by the seatbelt were more important than profit. So congratulations to Volvo for winning the first ever Hero Award!

Funny supermarket photos (part 3)

If our incompetent Western governments continue the way they are going, doing all they can to disrupt the food supply chain, then in a few months' time we may well have food shortages, and our supermarkets may have empty shelves.

So, while we still can, this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog pays another visit to the supermarket!

1) Back to school

Presumably, this first supermarket display must be aimed at schools based in London or Chicago?

"Back to school."

Bonus joke:

Ten cheesy chat up lines for Valentine's Day (part 2)

It's only a few days until Valentine's Day, so for the benefit of anyone looking for love, here's another batch of cheesy chat up lines.*

Cupid pays a visit to the Charles Fudgemuffin blog
with another collection of cheesy chat up lines.

* Or pick up lines, for the benefit of any American readers.

1) Computer programmer's chat up line...

"My name's Microsoft. Can I crash at your place tonight?



2) Optimist's chat up line...

"You remind me of my first wife."
"You were married?"
"No, I'm a bachelor."

Random food thoughts

This coming week features an important date, because February 9th is National Pizza Day! Unfortunately I couldn't think of ten pizza related thoughts, so instead I've had to expand the net a little further afield for this week's blog post, and feature random thoughts on a variety of foods...

Happy National Pizza Day!

1) Buy a man a pizza and you feed him for a day, but buy a man two pizzas, and you feed him for a day.



2) If human beings did not exist, ducks wouldn't know what bread tastes like.



3) KitKat wafer cream is made of ground up KitKat misshapes, so how did they make the first KitKat?
