    The Blame Game


    Let's see if I understand
    how the world works lately...

    If a man cuts his finger off
    while slicing salami at work,
    he blames the restaurant.

    If you smoke three packs a day for 40 years and die of lung cancer, your family blames the tobacco company.

    If your neighbor crashes into a tree while driving home drunk, he blames the bartender.

    If your grandchildren are brats without manners, you blame television.

    If your friend is shot by a deranged madman, you blame the gun manufacturer.

    And if a crazed person breaks into the ****pit and tries to kill the pilot at 35,000 feet, and the passengers kill him instead, the mother of the crazed deceased blames the airline.

    I must have lived too long to understand the world as it is anymore.

    So, if I die while my old, wrinkled butt is parked in front of this computer, I want you to blame Bill Gates...okay?

    Will do! I'm sure he's worth a chunk of change. realy tho, the one that ****es me off is when someone runs around a railroad crossing gate (that is down because a train is coming)then gets hit, dies, and then the family sues the railroad for not having >enough< warning devices to >prevent< people from going around the gates. Guess what trains have the right away, and if their too stupid to figure that one out, well... Another is when people pass trucks, just to pass them, and then pull in front of them with not much space between the truck and car. Then they slow down! Whats that called on the CB's, "hood orniment (sp)"... And you know what happens next, the family sues....

    Also reminds me of a saying I heard before; "If we'd just remove all the warning labels, the world would be a better place"...

    Keep it safe out there!
