REALLY? - Some things are common sense

The American Association of Pediatrics needs to issue a warning about children falling out of windows? REALLY?

A warning that children could fall out of windows if left open? Really?

What does the post-it note on the egg carton in the refrigerator say.???

Eggs.

Post-it on the wall with an arrow pointing down to a dish of water.

Dog's water. Please fill.

Post-it on counter --> Cats water on the counter so the dog doesn't drink it all.

Post-it on back door. To open and close door, lift handle. to lock turn deadbolt to the left....

9 years...I wish I had taken pictures of the post-it package I wrapped for her with all her notes last Christmas.

I swear to you. I am pet sitting while Deborah (my ex-of 9 years) and BimberlyKimberly are on the Blue Danube Olivia cruise.

You should leave a whole lot of post-its stuck around that say "Post-It."

Jess · 08-22-2011, 07:18 AM

the "danglers"

"the bouncers"

this one fell seven stories bounced off an awning and landed in a mans arms without a scratch

this one was tossed from burning building in the bronx ( he survived

)

this one has no fear of falling

I like the little packs of dessicant that say, "Do Not Eat."
It, of course, makes me want to eat them.

OMG having lived rural as many years as I have and depending on hired labor I could write a freaking book on the stupid shit people do. Even Wanton Boi said that whenever I explain things to hym I talk to hym like hy's a child. I don't mean to. It's just that I've learned from experience to fully and completely explain what I want, write it down and even then "something" will happen that makes me shake my head and question human nature.

I have low tolerance and patience for ignorance and stupidity. Now I delegate it to Wanton Boi and hy now supervises. Hy understands my nature and doesn't take offense to my "high gear" but even hy does things that make me laugh.

Sometimes common sense is hard to find.

The root of the problem is , not taking responsibility for your own actions. Its always someone else who is to blame. Especially if we can sue them and get rich, when we spill our hot coffee and get burned. Yes its hot, that's why it's called HOT coffee. Tort reform ! So many govt. agencies in place right now, who's only purpose is to micromanage us . Pretty soon you will be required to wear a seat belt on a bicycle. And some sort of helmet when you drive. We must be saved from ourselves! Quick somebody make a new law.
Did you know according to the national highway safety council , 52% of all fatality accidents were not wearing a seat belt. That means 48 percent were wearing one ! That means the odds are the same with or without a seat belt! Yet they felt those odds should justify imposing mandatory seatbelt laws. The commericals, click it or ticket. Seat belts save lives! No they don't. Not anymore than not wearing one does. The odds are the same.

YES - Like those people in California who got sued because while they were off on vacation, someone's 3-year-old kid CLIMBED A FENCE and got into their pool and drowned.

And I'm thinking those parents had some balls to sue the owners of the pool because it was their responsibility to watch their own damn kid.

Its crazy! But one good turn deserves another. I think it would be fitting for DHS to spearhead charges of child neglect. And take away any other kids those worthless people have. But not on the grounds of failing to properly supervise their kids. But for moving into a house that is within a 1 mile radius of a swimming pool, when their children have not been given swimming lessons. And for allowing their children to swim when no life guard was present! You wanna be ignorant? 2 can play at that game. Ha

Warning on the side of my bottle of window cleaner: WARNING! EYE IRRITANT..Keep away from eyes. Do not spray in or near eyes.

Does this mean that at one time someone could not get the streaks off their windows and decided, perhaps, that the streaks were actually on their eyes? And even sadder...why does that possibility not even surprise me anymore?

If that was the case the warning tag probably would have said : Caution this window cleaner contains certain chemicals for removing streaks on glass, however this cleaner will not remove streaks on eyes and should not be used for that purpose. This cleaner will also NOT remove streaks on household pets, or their eyes either. Including gold fish, and small cattle. Or Emu's. No one under the age of 18 should use this product without proper adult supervision. No adults should use this product, without the proper goverment agencies supervising.
Read all warning labels before using this product. Do not use this product for anything other than it's originally intent. The misuse of this product may cause serious health problems and death. Or even worse.

If you are experiencing shortness of breath, dizziness, uncontrolled leg movement, night sweats, finger nail discoloration, unibrows, male pattern baldness, erectile disfunction, rash, memory loss, loss of hearing or blindness, frequent or infrequent urination, dryness of mouth, difficulty breathing , difficulty thinking other than your normal lack of brain cells, return this product for a full refund. Dirty windows are the least of your worries. Any questions call 1-800- urtoodumb.
