When was the last time you strolled through your local drug store? Recently some friends and I ducked into a Rite-Aid to escape the heat and humidity, and as we looked around we discovered some items that had us literally rolling in the aisles.

May I present to you Exhibit A to your left: Bald Guyz Head Shampoo and Conditioner.

First off, if you’re bald why even shampoo, much less condition? You should just buff and go, which makes another item in their brand line-up, Head Wipes, a more sensible choice… Though every bit as funny.

Continuing down the nutritional supplement aisle, we came upon a row of something called “Lioness” which just due to name alone caused us to pause and consider. Upon further investigation, the description for its use only caused raucous laughter… “Women’s Sexual Libido Booster”

Now, I’m sure low sex drive among women is a very serious problem, and you have my sympathy… But LIONESS?! …If they’re too uptight to hop in the sack as often as you’d like, chances are they won’t be too eager to yank that embarassing purple and yellow box off the shelf either - You lose!

Tonight I accidentally left my headphones behind at home, so I spent a two hour training ride contemplating the Zen of cycling while creating haikus.

Though I forgot the best of them already, here are a few that managed to stick around:
