Welcome, to Monday, February 1st! Today we take a look at another 5 of the top fears that you never knew existed! 

1. Arithmophobia/Numerophobia – Two different words to describe a fear of the same thing: numbers.

2. Linonophobia – One of the more odd phobias, this one is centered on string. String of all colors and fibers, including yarn, thread and sometimes rope.

3. Arachibutyrophobia – This is an abnormal, persistent and unwarranted fear of peanut butter (we’re assuming the creamy kind?) sticking to the roof of the mouth. It should be noted that it’s not just any kind of thick and sticky food substance being lodged up there, but specifically peanut butter. Yeah, we can’t figure it out, either.

4. Epistaxiophobia – Nosebleeds are the star of this particular phobia. This one is almost understandable, especially considering that a nosebleed killed Attila the Hun and around 800 people in America face the same fate every year.

5. Phobophobia – Phobophobics have a morbid fear of developing a phobia (we suppose they don’t count the one that they already have).

6. Counterphobia – Very similar to phobophobics, counterphobics take things a step further by tackling their fears of developing fears head on. By surrounding themselves by the things that they’re scared of, counterphobics seek to eradicate their irrational phobias.

That’s my story for today and I’m sticking to it! Have a great Monday people, and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here, Eucman!

Joke of the Day*

Observation from a Trip to Disneyland

I went to Disneyland with my family.  I forgot how things were done there.   Fantasyland isn’t what I thought it would be, I thought I’d be greeted by some really hot girl…it didn’t happen…not even Annette Funicello.  I had a lot of questions while were there that never got answered.  Mickey and Minnie are supposedly not married, but why do they have the same last name?  Same with Donald and Daisy? There are 2 dogs in Disneyland, Goofy and Pluto.  Pluto lives the life of a dog and “Goofy” is the one that talks and has a job. I was watching the parents a lot, why is it okay for parents to pick their children’s nose but not their own?  Of course, in Southern California there is no snow in the wintertime so the kids can’t build snowmen.  Instead, I saw them building a smogman.  Instead of a carrot for the nose they used a broken piece of exhaust pipe and instead of a top hat he wore a gas mask.  And, I heard them singing a song to the tune of Frosty the Snowman but the words were changed a little to, ”Al Gore the smogman, had a very grimy nose, and a lie for a story and that’s his glory…etc., etc.….”, or something like that.  I saw a lot of the little girls at Disneyland still have Barbie dolls.  Barbie is over 50 years old.  I’m waiting for Mattell to tap into a whole new market with an older version of Barbie.
