There are even more, and even worse, here. I'm sorry ... but I know you'll laugh.
How did I not see this video until now? It's been viewed more than eight million times since it was posted 13 months ago. (The creators note, by the way, that the dogs had been introduced to the cutlery beforehand, and it was recorded in one take. Adding the ambient sound later helps with the illusion of being in an actual restaurant!)
It may not be polite to take a marker to someone's sign ... but it can be really funny. Check out a gallery like this.
From this gallery of photo-manipulated fun. Thanks to Richard for the pointer.
... here's the advice.
This kid has nailed it. And isn't this the best picture you've seen today?
I saw it here in my Tumblr feed.
I grew up in the Sixties and Seventies, and have never really felt part of the Fifties generation. When I saw the headline for this How Stuff Works article ("23 Must-Have Toys from the 1950s and Beyond"), I was wondering how well I would relate to the list.

Christoph Niemann does these great series for the New York Times called Abstract Sunday. The drawback? They don't appear every Sunday. There is one today; the first three panels are above. Click here to see the rest.
Anyone can edit (almost) anything on Wikipedia, but you've got to be really fast to get a screengrab before it gets fixed. I spotted the above here; it's making the rounds this week virally.
A great optical illusion. Seen today on Louisiana Jeff's Tumblr.
This is part of a funny collection of material on The Wondrous, in which a bit of illustration is strategically held up in a photo.
Sometimes with extra eyes.
... we only learn how to act in public. (I saw this on Gina's Tumbr.)
Parkour, that French-derived word that describes a highly athletic bit of leaping, jumping and acrobatically overcoming urban hurdles, is fascinating to watch, if only because it seems like an ER visit is a split-second away.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about.
There's a flowchart to explain what you're going to do next. And after that. And after that ... and so on, until you possibly might get around to some work.
