I haven't had a chance or a good reason to Blog until the last two weeks of news from America the beautiful.It is really beautiful, but it's also a lot like one of those old Blonde Jokes sometimes.
Over the years I've kept track of 'Stupid' stories
from the States. It started before I moved to the
mountain way back in the 70's actually.
There was the MacDonalds' coffee incident, where a woman bought some coffee at a drive through. She had it in her lap and it spilled and burnt her legs and privates. This meant of course that she could sue Ronald and Gang, because of course it was their fault that she had a boiling cup of fresh brewed coffee in her lap. She did win millions.
Then, there was the Philadelphia Zoo Worker that had the bright idea that they could safely feed a Polar Bear grapes by hand. It doesn't take a lot of imagination to figure out how this idiot ended up with the nickname lefty. Again the Zoo was sued for creating a hostile environment for the Polar Bears that made them Aggressive. Aren't they wild animals when they are not in cages?
My most recent, 'What were you thinking, and Why would you let anybody know that you did this ?' A woman was at an animal park and was in the alligator cage with a handler. She preceded to put her face cheek by joule to the alligator as the handler held the head up in the air. Boy was she surprised when the critter grabbed her by the face almost removing an eye. Not only was the act 'Stupid', but then she went on TV and shared it with the world. I suppose to warn us all 'Not to Put Our Faces Next to Live Alligators cause it could be Dangerous'.
The other thing in the past weeks I enjoyed was Mr Obama's response to police arresting a Black Professor in his own house after showing his Identification. I agree, this was a stupid act and really shows the true state of equality in North America. I would also like to thank him for using the word 'STUPID', because somethings are just Stupid and should be declared so otherwise why do we keep the word. Yes it can be used inappropriately but come on when was used this context it was bang on the money.
But that's just my opinion and you are free to think it's Stupid. Oh, don't forget not to put your head in the Restaurant Bathroom Fabric Towel Dispensor Loop there is a hanging risk. Just look for the safety label made in America.
