Some people were worried about a nonexistent problem, so we made a real one

“Those are the concerns my constituents have. Whether they are overblown, it’s hard to say."

— Georgia state Sen. Larry Walker, quoted in the Wall Street Journal on the new restrictive voting law he said was necessary to combat his constituents’ concerns about voter fraud


Hi, yes, we heard people were worried about demons getting into the water supply, so now we’ve passed a little tiny law saying you have to sprinkle holy water on the faucet every time you turn it on. If people have these concerns, it’s our job to address them! Sorry about the inconvenience. Yes, I am the only person who sells Faucet Holy Water™, so technically this does benefit me, but I mostly just care about addressing constituent concerns.

Hi, yes, we saw that some people were worried about a UFO landing on the community playground and replacing all the children with empty spacesuits full of bees. Yes, technically, this has never happened to anyone, but it would sure be terrible to be the first — so we have put up an electrified UFO-proof fence around the playground! This will keep all the UFOs out. Also, the kids won’t be able to use it, but this will help keep them safe from UFOs, so, win-win!

you almost cost me a new computer screen............

That does it, tomorrow, first thing, I am putting saran wrap over my computer screen..............

Seriously, I have talked to these same people. What they proclaim is so absolutely mind boggling, and it is unfathomable that they can believe this shit.

Once I complained to a "tea bag" neighbor about the weather. This guy told me that there is a giant magnet in the pacific a few miles off the west coast of LA that the U.S. Government built. When they turn it on it alters all the weather in the entire U.S. in a bad way.
He said congress itself is forbidden from flipping the switch that turns it on, so the House of Representatives and Senators call Russia and have them turn it on with their switch.
No Shit true story.

Same guy a different day. A neighbor calls for me to come running. She thinks her husband is having a heart attack and she has called 911, but could I come over. I grabbed my med kit, went over and started taking his history and taking his vitals including his BP. This same crazy guy comes running into the house, looks at the neighbor who is having an MI and starts yelling at the top of his lungs: unplug the digital clock, unplug the digital clock.....He keeps it up, screaming that the digital clock is causing his heart problems, and if someone would just unplug it, the guy would be fine. The guy won't give up shouting his ludicrous bullshit. Finally the ambulance arrives, I give them a quick summary and vitals and the EMTP's start work on him, getting Oxygen started, monitor hooked up, an IV line established, etc.
This guy is STILL shouting: unplug the digital clock. The paramedics look at me and we all start shaking our heads. Finally a cop comes in, hears this guy's bullshit and escorts him out the door.
No Shit true story.....
I often wonder how so many Dr's could be delivering so many kids and carelessly dropping THEM ALL onto their heads to the floor of the delivery deck.....I understand dropping a few, but 70+ million??????????

When I got the injections, I didn't know the bastions put chips in each one. Now I'm afraid to go out of my house so's the chips can't be read.
