This is unbelievable. Our society has been turned into the dumbest bunch that ever walked the planet. Next it will be instructions on your smartphone on how to eat all foods.

I shouldn't laugh, it is probably already there.

 

OH NO!!!! I live in the same town as where this paper is printed... I'm feeling dumber as I type...

 

How about:

"Doctors discover that if parents would supervise their children, and not give them objects to eat that could pose a choking hazzard..." or "Parents should be required to learn first aid for small children," or "Test must be passed before you can reproduce..."

I don't know... maybe I am the wacko...

 

Sounds like someone is suffering from "hotdog envy" as such.

Am I wrong, or just way off base?

 

That pediatrician should call for a redesign of my boot, to reduce the risk of it getting stuck in his...

Seriously, do we have to reduce everything to the lowest common denominator? Cater to the dumbest or least-motivated person in the country? Next thing you know, all food will need to come pre-cut because too many people are having knife-related injuries. There's already a law in England that requires pubs to replace their glass pint glasses with plastic ones because people were getting hurt with them.

We're on that road, just a few years behind.

 

Big Brother is just too big now...sheesh...what a waste of time, money and air with some of these people and groups. Anyone in good ole sask will know what I mean when I say...I prefer a Harvest weiner of those cheap Schneiders and all the others. MMmmmmm amazing what they can do with pig snouts and tails.
YUM!

 

As of April 1st.,all hot dogs,polish sausages(no discrimination) WILL be serialized,and written records of purchases to include dates of purchase and consumption are to be furnished upon request to representatives of the food and drug czar at the point of consumption at any time it shall be deemed necessary etc.......

It's coming by executive order.

 

Breaking news!!!!

Obama is scrapping his Health Care Bill, and focusing on the Hotdog epidemic!
Democrats say this should create 2 million more jobs, and are crediting Obama for successfully bringing our country out of the recession.


But in all seriousness. We already have a government agency that regulates how much water our toilets can flush with, this is just one more attempt to control everything that "We the people" live for.

 

Watch a movie called Idiocracy. We are probably headed that way faster than we thought.

The hotdog has been an american symbol and pasttime for many generations, before those doctors where stains on the sheets, I think those dr.s need to get a life.

 

This kinda tells the story. An email I received. I shortened it some...

My Mom used to cut chicken, chop eggs and spread mayo on the same cutting board with the same knife and no bleach, but we didn't seem to get food poisoning.

My Mom used to defrost hamburger on the counter and I used to eat it raw sometimes, too. Our school sandwiches were wrapped in wax paper in a brown paper bag, not in ice pack coolers, but I can't remember getting e..coli.

Almost all of us would have rather gone swimming in the lake instead of a pristine pool (talk about boring), no beach closures then.

The term cell phone would have conjured up a phone in a jail cell, and a pager was the school PA system.

We all took gym, not PE...and risked permanent injury with a pair of high top Keds (only worn in gym) instead of having cross-training athletic shoes with air cushion soles and built in light reflectors. I can't recall any injuries but they must have happened because they tell us how much safer we are now.
Flunking gym was not an option.... even for stupid kids! I guess PE must be much harder than gym.

Speaking of school, we all said prayers and sang the national anthem, and staying in detention after school caught all sorts of negative attention.

We must have had horribly damaged psyches. What an archaic health system we had then. Remember school nurses? Ours wore a hat and everything.

I thought that I was supposed to accomplish something before I was allowed to be proud of myself.

I just can't recall how bored we were without computers, Play Station, Nintendo, X-box or 270 digital TV cable stations.

Oh yeah... and where was the Benadryl and sterilization kit when I got that bee sting? I could have been killed!

We played 'king of the hill' on piles of gravel left on vacant construction sites, and when we got hurt, Mom pulled out the 48-cent bottle of mercurochrome (kids liked it better because it didn't sting like iodine did) and then we got our butt spanked.

Now it's a trip to the emergency room, followed by a 10-day dose of a $49 bottle of antibiotics, and then Mom calls the attorney to sue the contractor for leaving a horribly vicious pile of gravel where it was such a threat.

We didn't act up at the neighbor's house either; because if we did we got our butt spanked there and then we got our butt spanked again when we got home.

I recall Donny Reynolds from next door coming over and doing his tricks on the front stoop, just before he fell off.

Little did his Mom know that she could have owned our house.

Instead, she picked him up and swatted him for being such a goof. It was a neighborhood run a muck.

To top it off, not a single person I knew had ever been told that they were from a dysfunctional family.

How could we possibly have known that?

We needed to get into group therapy and anger management classes.

We were obviously so duped by so many societal ills, that we didn't even notice that the entire country wasn't taking Prozac!

How did we ever survive?

 

Good responses. I see some YES WE DID, some do not change that - it works just fine as is, some redesign of the boot for practical application, qualification testing, sounds like it will work.

Today's society has fell off the wagaon and more everyday with :

• the team concept gone wrong (one idiot has an idiot thought and the TEAM backs him up),
• 1 idiot in 1 million human beans has a first thought and hype headlines, now millions support it,
• a certain social networking thingy promotes puking out "what's on your mind" without first or second thought about what you are saying

Sorry the first things to pop into my mind popped out before I could think.

 

lol The wife and I took infant CPR before our first born. We thought it could be beneficial. The instructor was going through the choking hazard part and stopped to elaborate on the hotdog being a very dangerous food for a tot. Gee really, we thought. Anyhow, we just kind of went along with it like we needed that bit of info even though it seemed like common sense. Evidently it must have been an epidemic then to get so much coverage. Anyhow, then she asked the class "what are you going to do when little Kevin slips Christina his hotdog and she starts choking on it?" in those exact words. I couldn't help it and I busted out laughing and then the wife started in. The instructor just glared at us. Of course her point was watch the older siblings as much as you watch the little ones but I think she could have worded the whole thing a little better. We finished the classes and passed but funny thing, we never did get our hard cards in the mail.

 

Wisdom beyond your years, Cudo's to you.

 

Good Grief!

 

Okay correct me if I wrong but cant all food be considered a chocking hazard?

And to think, most of this started when that crazy lady sued McD's for the hot coffee that burned her.

I want a warning label placed on the foreheads off all liberals that states "Warning: Listening to me my affect your capability to think for yourself"
