You Can’t Make Me Do it!!

Does anybody else notice what I thought everybody calls the “side boob”:when you’re online? Little photos that give strange commands and promise to explain “Here’s why” you should follow them. Like

“Always carry a crayon in your wallet when you travel! Here’s why..”

“Always put tinfoil on your doorknob at night! Here’s why: “

“Pour Coca Cola in your toilet! Here’s why:”

“Mix toothpaste with Vaseline! Here’s why:”

usually of course I just ignore ‘em. I mean, with some of ‘em my Ipd will actually start making “battle stations!” Siren sounds like I opened a fire door or sump’n. Then I hafta ask my BMD for help and he ridicules me for opening such a site.

But really! After seeing the photo a couple hundred times, I admit I’m curious: why SHOULD I always carry a crayon in my wallet, etc?

The problem is, if you click, you get directed to an endless stream of suggestions. You keep on pressing Next again and again but…so far, I’ve never found out why I should keep a crayon in my wallet when I travel. Nay, nor yet why I should put tinfoil on my doorknob at night.

but hey, the pictures make a nice change from closeups of people’s toenail fungus, with which I’ve been besieged for the last year. I reckon I’ve seen all there is of that by this time. But now, my IPad is into clinical photos of moles and skin tags. Why? I’ve never ordered a fungicide nor a…I don’t even know what the mole people are selling.

no, no, I must resist! I don’t HAVE to mix toothpaste with Vaseline! Leave me alone! They can’t make me!

  1. LOL 🙂 So funny 🙂 I sometimes click on these things as well, but as with you, the original question is never answered. 🙂

  3. I like telling smartasses that their Ph.D. can’t make me do ‘nothing unless are willing to throw down about it. Pro tip: They will always try to shoot you before going mano-a-mano; every foxtrotting time!
