I love the warning that today's "people" need.

Commercial on TV of a woman eating a 10 bill. Bottom of screen, "Dramatization, do not attempt."

"The problem with people is stupidity. Not that there should be capital punishment for stupidity. Let's just take the warning labels off everything and let the problem solve itself."

Uhm...you're watching TV. Stop doing that and people become instantly less dumb.

And surfing the monkey really ups your IQ.

I can't speak for all times, but when I'm here, it's like walking through a library.

LIAR!!!!



I think you got that all backwards. At least I know, on TV, it ain't real.

Well true, if you're new to the library and reading, the books without pictures can be both intimidating and impressive.

FYI, it was a $5 bill.

Haha. But yeah, the first time I saw that, I laughed pretty good.

I love the "suggested presentation" small print note on the labels of foodstuffs.

Like on a can of bakedbeans, the label is a photo of the damn beans, right?

I now know you don't actually have to present it like that!

A whole new world is opened for me...

Culinary school and all that training when all you really needed was to read the label on a can of beans.

I bet you're feeling foolish now.



Edit :

Another way you could present it is to serve up some beans Hobo style. Have your guests hold the can by the lid with a pair of pliers over a Sterno can. Table side of course.

agreed. whenever i get flagged down about some idiot doing something stupid (ex: riding a moped up and down stairs in the projects without a helmet) i simply explain to the "concerned citizen" that the reported activity is a self correcting problem
