Funny Pictures Thread. It begins again

A company I worked for had a tank farm in the middle of nowhere. It had 4 tanks that held on the order of 100,000 barrels of petroleum each. The local volunteer fire department came out to ask us what they should do in case one of the tanks caught on fire...

"Hop in your fire truck and drive away as fast as you can go..."
FYI I work for the biggest SCADA software company in North America. I've heard stories like that. Not the rupture part, but the "you think you can do something? HA!"

A propane facility caught fire a few years back in Toronto.


This was before my dad retired from the fire department. His job was literally to walk through with thermal imager of some kind and yell our which tanks were about to explode so they could hopefully cool them off before it happened. He said that the way the tanks are made, when one exploded it would shoot up like a rocket, and then this giant tank would come wizzing down back to the ground, ripping through cars and leaving craters. And he had to just walk through and be like "That one. Now that one. Okay, now that one"

Funny enough, I thought about getting one made for that window that said, "If I'm passing you on this side, YOU'RE IN THE WRONG LANE" for Houston.

Dude, for Houston, I'd skip the stickers and just go right to the reinforced steel spikes and welded-on I-beams.

Pretty sure kidney stones don't come from your nuts.
There seems to be an argument in the imgur comment thread about this - OP says "According to the urologist, it was probably already trying to pass through and I didn't know" and others are chiming in calling bullshit or supporting. I dunno, I just post things. Mostly excuses for reaction gifs.

If you already have a kidney stone in your urethra, you're going to notice it, and you are not going to be in the mood for sex.

If I could have left out that first one, I would have. But the rest are funny.[DOUBLEPOST=1424571103][/DOUBLEPOST][DOUBLEPOST=1424571497][/DOUBLEPOST]Mom don't read

While the Will Smith one is kinda funny, the joke falls flat simply by the fact that Philadelphia lacks a big Hollywood Sign we see in the background when Will calls the cab.
Plush it was a lot more funny when Will made it himself on the show.
