    Thought some people might get a kick out of this site:

    Awkward Family Photos

    Suddenly, some of the photos I've taken don't seem so bad...

    Thks Zoegh, really funny, except for that "checkup" one, someone should have been clever enough to rule that one out :(

    edit : maybe I should explain, I have a sinking feeling that these are not dentists and that the equipment and chair are those used to lift persons who cannot move of their own free will. I know from experience that sometimes someone being moved from the bed to a chair is a big milestone, and a happy event, which would explain why the pic was taken and cherished.

    But I do love the other ones !

    I never cringed so much in my life !!! forget about facepalm moments, it's desk-face you should be worried about when viewing that site.

    This is great, I'm getting some proper laughs out of this although I'm glad I'm not one of them.

    To ease your mind, it is a dentist. That's a dentist's chair and the various positionable arms behind carry lights and mirrors as in a dentist's office.

    That one had me snorting Lucozade out my nose laughing.

    Thanks Zoegh.

    Great, I hope you're right, and if it is, well then that's pretty funny, not half as funny as some of the others on there though :D.

    I quite like that one :

    Although I do really like that one of the baby taped to the window- so wrong!

    Glad people are getting a kick out of them, I'm pretty sure when I first stumbled upon the site 7Up came out my nose... :p
