Favourite responses?

The guys are often so fast, just recently I came across again when Karl said he likes Lowry paintings “they’re real, you see little disabled people walking about” and Ricky says a second later “that’s not real then”. Or when karl says “I’m not looking for ‘appiness” and Ricky says “you’re not looking for a penis?”. Or when Ricky invents a hypothetical ridiculous situation of Karl donating his rear end after he dies to a man with AIDS and the event reanimates him after death and Ricky says “and then Suzanne walks in, what do you say to her?” and Karl says “we’ve got to join BUPA”

And other great ones?

Shout your name if you know 'em

These non-brothers were always blaming one another.

The world's strangest married couple

Jeanie and Al Tomaini were called "The World's Strangest Married Couple" because they looked completely different from one another. They worked in circus sideshows during the mid-1900s and used this nickname to attract crowds.

​Here is what made them so unique:

​A Huge Height Difference...

​Al the Giant: Al had a medical condition that made him grow incredibly tall. He was over 7 feet 4 inches tall and weighed more than 350 pounds.

​Jeanie the Half-Girl: Jeanie was born without legs due to a rare condition. She was only 2 feet 6 inches tall, but she was incredibly strong and learned to walk easily on her hands.

​When they stood next to each other, Al was about 5 feet taller than Jeanie.

​A Great Love Story...

​Even though circus banners called them "strange," they had a very normal, loving marriage.

​They met while working at a fair in 1936, fell in love, and got married. Eventually, they got tired of traveling with the circus and moved to a small town in Florida called Gibsonton.

​In their town, they became well-liked and famous leaders. They adopted two daughters and ran a popular business together that included a restaurant and a fishing lodge. Al even became the town's volunteer fire chief, and Jeanie worked as the local postmaster.

​They might have looked unusual to the public, but they built a happy, regular life together.

My whole family doesn’t know I lost track of which triplet was which

I know I was lazy. I helped take care of babies when I was young and I never thought taking care of triplets is extremely hard and time consuming.

A family member sometimes asks who is bubbles or buttercup or blossom(obv not their real names) and my wife says their clothes are color coded but in reality I already got the babies mixed up. No one, including my wife, has the attention to detail to know which is which besides the clothes.

I don't have the same time(was working 2 jobs) and patience(burned out) with the extra steps my wife does so whenever it's my turn to care for the babies I do what's convenient, and oftentimes I get them swapped.

When they got a bit older they basically chose their own names, only one kid responds to one name, and now that they have grown a lot, its easy to know which is which but no one really knows who the original blossom/bubbles/buttercup is.

Edit: I did this when they were babies, my kids are preschoolers now, can be easily identified, and have their own identities. I love the suggestions and I would've done it if I knew then, but it's pointless now.
