Stupid Headlines 050921
This week’s stupid headlines and my
stupider, sometimes sophomoric comments.
Gettysburg
battlefield visitor trapped in porta-potty by downed tree – For one half score, and a few
hours, some poor father tried to extricate himself wondering whether this potty
or his body would soon survive.
Hundreds
of Joshes fight in Nebraska – In the preliminary, three Melvin’s had a rock, paper, scissors duel
off.

not going to risk my health on an untested…wait…FREE BEER!
Biden
says Americans earning less than $400K will not pay 'a single penny' in taxes –
Unless you are
still breathing!

a CAT!
2

It’s OK
It’s OK
CRANKY OPINION FRIDAY
Is anyone
tired of walking on egg shells yet? Do
you watch your words? Words have consequences you know. Sometimes the consequences are severe, and it
seems the world is full of word police.
Watch your
gender usage, very important. If you
call a he a she you will be taken down.
Sometimes it is he, sometimes she, sometimes shim, sometimes…I don’t
know. I only know it is very important.
The safest
thing is avoiding any gender reference.
I believe some languages place a gender on everything. A chair may be masculine while a frying-pan
is feminine. A lawnmower is probably
masculine…What the heck do they do in those countries? Old people must really have to be careful, I don’t know why anyone cares.
It’s kind of
tedious to me. Oh, I can learn, but I
really don’t know why I have to say, “Merle Streep is a great female actor.” When
It is easier to say, “Merle Streep is a great actress.” My way saves a word!
Alright, I
will learn the gender thing. It is
stupid, no big deal, just takes a little getting used to, and I don’t need the condescending
corrections from people who have learned more of life in 27 years than I have
in 75.
This is one
that really is the aluminum foil on my fillings.
OK is no
longer OK. The traditional three finger
OK sign now means “I believe that all black people should be sent back to
Africa!”
Well, that
is what I have been told it means. When
I make that sign in means “Hey, stuff is OK!”
“How are
you?”
“…I make the
OK sign”
“What?
You believe that all black people should be sent back to Africa!”
“No, I’m
just saying that I’m OK.”
“Not any
more, now you are saying you believe that all black people should be sent back to
Africa!”
“Who says
so?”
“I don’t
know, it just does.”
Now it turns
out there are some very nasty people who use the sign, to tell people that they
are giant ass-hats. I don’t know why
anyone would want the world to know that they are giant ass-hats, but there are
those people.
What the Hell
happened that this common and universal sign for “stuff is good” became usurped and
used to mean something else?
Turns out it
started as a hoax…a joke by some weird satirical publication, and ass-hats believed it and
started to use the sign.
So now I can’t
use this once universal sign that “Stuff is good” because some group
made something up and some other ass-hats believed it?
I think
not!
Here is the
thing. If a fat guy with a shaved head, and
a swastika neck tattoo makes that sign, it means, “I believe that all black people should be sent back to Africa!”
Probably a racist
If a pasty
face out of shape egg-head white guy makes that sign, it means, “I just won ‘Jeopardy’
for the third time.”
If a star
baseball player doubles up on the sign with his teammate after hitting a huge
homerun, it means, “Holy crap, did you see that one?”
In summary:
Racist makes
OK sign it means, “I am a racist.”
You can usually tell without the sign but…
Non-racist
makes the sign, it means “something good.”
If you are
not sure, assume it does not mean “I believe that all black people should be
sent back to Africa!”
“I believe
that all black people should be sent back to Africa!” Is not OK.
The preceding was the opinion of a cranky old man, and not necessarily that of management...Mrs. Cranky!
