Smart and Not Smart

Smart and Not Smart

But first, I just want to say that my thoughts are with all the people in London who were affected by yesterday's tragedy. I won't get all political at this moment, but I will say that the people who justify events like this, by tossing us into the same category as the terrorists, piss me the fuck off. Yes there have been tragic civilian casualties in Iraq/Afghanistan. But I somehow missed the memo that said our armed forces were TARGETING them, as opposed to the terrorists, who are in fact trying to kill as many civilians as possible with every strike. Otherwise they would be hitting our military facilities and arsenals, not buses, office buildings, discos and grocery stores.

Seriously though, I'll save that for another day. Today, we're going to play a new game called smart and not smart.

Like this...

SMART: Curling your hair with one of those auto shut-off curling irons.
NOT SMART: Curling your hair while taking a bath.

Here we go.

SMART: Crossing the street when you see someone who, but for the insanity of our justice system, would have been convicted for brutally murdering his wife and the guy she was banging.
NOT SMART: Moving in with him and then provoking a violent fight with him.

SMART: Running on a track or in a park or on a treadmill.
NOT SMART: Running around with half-ton bulls.

SMART: Proposing to your girlfriend in a unique way.
NOT SMART: Proposing to your girlfriend after setting yourself on fire.
