I truly believe we are surrounded by idiots. For this reason warning labels must now be affixed to EV – RY – THING. Because, in all seriousness, everything is potentially harmful if people don’t possess common sense.
Take this article for example:
https://www.yahoo.com/beauty/doctors-now-calling-safety-warning-194500400.html
I read the first couple of paragraphs and immediately did this:
What in God’s name is this world coming to? Avocados and bagels might be a little challenging to cut. Duh. They’re round. Knives are sharp so one should exercise caution when using them. Duh. They’re sharp. There is a “condition” called “avocado hand?” I’ve gotten like a gazillion paper cuts, did I have paper-cut hand? Or paper-cut finger? Which begs the question: should paper come with a warning label? Why, yes. Yes it should, because some idiot will cut themselves some day.
What ridiculous “news” have you heard lately dear readers? Ever suffer from “avocado hand?” What insane warning label would you create for this world of idiots we are living in?
Word of the day: Nunnation
Fun fact about me: I self-treat paper-cut finger. I use a thing called a BandAid, which should probably come with a warning label – something like “caution, this will be sticky so handle with extreme care.”

I know someone who was getting dressed to go out when she noticed a crease still in her shirt so she attempted to iron out the crease *whilst she was still wearing the shirt.*
Perhaps the warning label saying “Please remove shirt from body before ironing” had fallen off?

So it’s not just Americans then? You Aussies have similar problems when it comes to common sense? Sheesh.
Thanks for visiting Mil. Have a great week.

RIGHT?! I sometimes wonder if all common sense (and respect for others) are being slowly washed out with each generation, or maybe it’s the fact that so many people hope to get a fast buck through doing something stupid and placing the blame on everyone else but themselves. And watch out with that Band-Aid. It might cause some damage if it gets stuck in your eye or something. I hope all waterways are up and running at Baer House now!

Thanks for warning me about the Band-Aids. God knows I’d hate to have paper-cut finger and a Band-Aid injury at the same time. Good Lord, what next?
Yes, we have running water. It’s not potable yet, but we’re supposed to get the all clear notice from the health department sometime in the next day or so.
Have a wonderful week my friend. Stay safe out there in amongst the idiots.

Did you know coffee can be hot if you pour it on yourself? Oh, wait – we all know that one because McDonalds had to pay some brilliant woman $3 million for spilling it on herself. Ugh.
I keep trying to find a word to which to apply nunnation, but so far I haven’t. However, we need another word, “arration,” for people from Britain and New England who stick “R’s” willy-nilly where they don’t belong. Of course, we would then need a word for the “R’s” they can’t seem to pronounce, as in “It was my idear to get theah uhly.”

What? Coffee’s hot? Holy canoli. And I suppose you’re going to tell me that ice’ll freeze my fingers, too. It’s all so unbelievable to me. Who thinks it’s a good idea to use a hair dryer while still in the shower? Now that is multi-tasking.
Idiots. Idiots everywhere. If everyone would just learn how to properly use the word nunnation we’d be in a much better world.
Thanks for stopping by Dave and at least giving it the old college try. Sometimes my words of the day make no sense whatsoever, they’re just fun.

Once I took my car’s owner’s manual in to the office to look up something, and a coworker wound up with it. She found a warning that driving or riding in an automobile can be dangerous or fatal. (facepalm) I swear I’m not making that up LOL.

Well you know – they have to warn people because someone will try to sue the automakers if a family member dies. It’s because the world is so freaking sue-happy. I blame the lawyers.
Thanks for visiting today. I hope the move is going well. I can’t wait to see pictures of the progress
Take care.

It’s all about dumbing US down, meanwhile stealing the silver and all of the valuables, while we read the warning labels. When I’ve cut myself using a knife, it is because I was using the knife incorrectly. We’ve gotta stop the ‘we have to save stupid people from themselves’ crap – let ’em get hurt and learn or worse, maybe they won’t or won’t be able to reproduce! Hope you water situation is back to normal – have a great week.

I couldn’t agree more – whatever happened to survival of the fittest. We’re breeding the next generation of stupid as we speak. Gawwwww.
Yes – we have water!! What a blessed thing. It could have been so much worse though. 153 years ago Vicksburg was under siege for 47 days. At least we have porta potties and bottled water. Always thankful I am for those small things.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful week as well my friend.
