There are probably more, but this trio made us laugh at OGN Towers.
"Insecure Baby": Everyone had a great time ridiculing Donald Trump after he publicly demanded the removal of his portrait at Colorado’s state capitol building, calling it “truly the worst”. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump shared an image of the portrait and complained about the painting, saying it was bad and blaming it on Colorado’s governor, Jared Polis - whom the president insulted as being “radically left”. A Republican admirer of Trump actually commissioned the portrait. In two follow-up posts, Trump shared separate images of himself in an apparent attempt to distribute photos that he considered more flattering. A social media account named Republicans Against Trump shared the president’s post while calling him “a petty, insecure baby”.
Priority Booth Seating: An Irish restaurant turned the tables on Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary by adding various incremental costs to his bill, in the manner of his low-cost airline. The Luvida restaurant, north west of Dublin, joked in a Facebook post: “Thank you to Michael O'Leary for choosing to dine with us tonight! It was a pleasure to host you. Hope you don't mind us adding some additional charges to your bill for extra leg space, priority booth seating and quiet area reservation.” The cheeky charges were added as a prank and the restaurant manager said that Mr O’Leary was let off paying the fees just this once. Adding: “I have those buttons on the till now so next time he’s getting charged.”
Sweet Hereafter: A man who wanted to be buried in a Snickers-themed coffin got his nutty final wish. Paul Broome was known for his "quick wit and mischievous sense of humour", said The Argus, and his family made sure to honour his snack-themed coffin choice, even emblazoning the words "I'm nuts" on the side. The funeral procession passed his favourite café in Bognor Regis on England's south coast, where friends in tribute T-shirts gathered outside to clap.
