they had a fund raising thing on the other day at my local sainsburys i couldnt stop laughing. There was this lady dressed up in a pink bunny suit! Because it is fairly rural everyone who walked past just laughed, i dont think they got any money!

 

Then we walked in the store and when i just about controlled myself laughing i saw this bloke in a dalmation outfit looking at the fresh BEEF! I thought what the hell is going on? One minute he is fighting to save them then the next minute he is buying dead ones???
