Craig and his wonderful list

Romance is clearly alive at the fair. In a portable toilet.

"I was tied to the bed." Not usually how people identify themselves.

Flirting happens everywhere -- even in ambulances and emergency departments.

Maybe it wasn't his bum that was so eye catching, but rather what he was wearing.

He's trying to find his girlfriend a girlfriend.

The problem with spending a lot of your time with dead people: they don't make good friends.

A smile can make a big difference to someone.

An inadvertent experiment of what happens when you leave an iPad on the ESP.

The best time to sell your bouncy house is, of course, only months after the media was saturated with fear-mongering about the dangers of bouncy houses. Hilarious.
