Hot-Nanny State (part deux)


Please refer to previous eponymous post... I took this picture at an aquarium recently... it was posted outside the bathroom. Evidently bathrooms are more dangerous than sharks. Who knew? I'm so thankful for this information and am hoping Dear Leader can pass a law or something... maybe piggyback it (nice word choice, eh?) onto the anti-obesity bill.

  2. OldFart would have been safer swimming at night with sharks, rubbed down with blood and dressed in a injured seal costume.

    Oldfart saw a picture of a shark right before his heart went wacky and he fell in his bathroom. i don't know what to do now.

  4. What they don't tell you is that it's the toilet sharks that are responsible for the bathroom statistics ... Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the lavatory

  6. PeggyU's comment made me think of the old skit from way back in the days when SNL was funny. The "Land Shark" skit with Lorraine Newman, Gilda Radner (God rest her soul), Jane Curtin, Dan Aykroid, & John Belushi.

  7. Its just the way we attorneys drum up business, 911. We don't have to chase ambulances--we just hang out in the hospital cafeteria and wait.

  9. i see that their are a bunch of injuries from 'toilet bowl products'... i wonder if they mean ruptured colons from jamming plunger handles up one's bum. i mean, i've seen these injuries and a shark couldn't do it... i'm beginning to get the message.

  10. Astute observation 911.

    The plunger handle angle makes sense...thus the liberals would be concerned about this.

    Maybe that's why they REALLY don't the standard light bulbs. Now that I think about it, I've never seen one of the curly-q-mercury-containing-can't-see-crap ones stuck in a bum. I guess they can screw 'em back out!

  11. hmmm....

    i imagine you might be able to back 'em out, but, and here's he rub, besides lacerations if they break do you also get mercury poisoning? i know i would answer this question wrong on the boards and a toxicologist would make me feel stupid if i asked it so i will hope not to see this problem in the ER.

  12. I don't know about mercury poisoning, but here's how you are supposed to remove a broken lightbulb (at least from a light socket!). Cut a potato in half, then impale it on the broken end of the bulb. Tug on the potato, and voila!

    Or you might just end up with a guy with a spud up his bum.
