"No wonder of the fellers in our crowd take Ex-Lax!"

"How are your bowels?"

"In ancient times, people did not say, 'How do you do?' They said, 'How are your bowels?'" 

Good to know! (Via.)

Time for an Ex-Lax Movie!

I'm guessing you know that Ex-Lax is a laxative, which makes this more amusing. It explains why Tommy is so terrible—he's constipated!

It doesn't explain why he's so manically excited at the end, though. Take it easy, kid. (Ad from LIFE magazine, February 1940. Thanks to Weird Universe for the tip.)

Looks like SOMEBODY has cat allergies.



This ad from the Philippines is for Drixine, a nasal decongestant.


It is also a bad idea. (Via.)

As you enjoy this ad for a new urinal, remember:

This is NOT a joke!
H.E.M. = Hygienic Equipment for Men
F.I.S.H. = Something men pee with

That's one way to sell a billboard.

Disgust the people driving past it so much, somebody feels like they HAVE to put a new ad on it! (Via.)

I have five words for you:

Japanese calorie-burning 
underwear technology!
(Admittedly, this strangely long ad isn't gross, but it IS very strange.)
