Summer Funnies (summer not)

I try to find a theme or a flow to these weekly collations but that did not happen this week. So I'm posting five here at the top that produced a giggle, followed by five that made me cringe.

And here are the not-so-much, also in no particular order.

Finishing with more horror (hope you can tolerate it but it might be best to feel motivated to some kind of action beyond blogging or tweeting)
