Even the animals mock me.

Ok, they're some funny / cute pictures, but it seems like they could have said something - anything - about the photographer, the animal, or the circumstances; but no, just a stack of images.

Bah, no turtles.

I am entertained, and also glad to see the photographer credit before I inevitably see these again in low-res form with the credit removed and a punchline superposed.

You know why gorillas have such big nostrils?

Because they have such fat fingers.

I'm pretty sure the gorilla did that just to subtly give the photographer the finger. Gorillas are sneaky that way.

The owl one is fine until you see the expression on the face of the bottom owl and then it is hilarious.

I need this today. I just learned someone in our extended family passed and the one with the three owls in the tree. It's such a lovely representation of family life. Thanks.

Or a clever MetaFilter username. If you lurk, do yourself a favour and give yourself an early holiday gift.

As if anyone would be so shallow.

Already saved the face-palming squirrel photo for future expressions of annoyance on Facebook and Twitter.
