That somehow apply to the person they are with, which amuse you!

Let me explain, i read an article the other day (it might have been posted on here or on a newspaper, i cant remember) but it was about a guy on the tube who burst out laughing because he was reading the advertisements above peoples heads and then applying the slogan to the person below, often with humerous results. This has started to have an impact on me...

There were 2 instances in KFC today. Firstly, a girl of rather large proportions was walking up the stairs and had a meal which on the side of the box read "FULLY LOADED!"

Then, i looked around, and saw a rather bland looking businessman, not particularly happy, not particularly sad, eating something from a box which said "SPICE IT UP!" on the side

Now i dont mean to be rude, but it was quite funny at the time. Anyone else get these coincidences? I guarantee you'll start looking for them now and see them everywhere

PS - First person to argue why I am picking on strangers and should get a life or some such crap receives a Twix!

PPS - I had a "large fillet meal" in case anyone calls me unfair and wants to overanalyse me

This is somehow related I guess. I'm a member of the Telford Freecycle group and receive quite a few emails a day with wanted ads, offered ads, taken notes, that sort of thing. So in my inbox I get quite a few emails with things like the following:

"TAKEN: Boys shoes"

"TAKEN: Girls pram"

and my personal favourite (the number refers to the message number of the original offer);

"TAKEN: 7262 tampons"

I see the name Milky Joe with his post about games immediately after a sign saying "Gaming".
