My last request

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 cockpit 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 *** is parked in front of this computer,
I want all of you to blame Bill Gates... okay

No that isn't what someone would do today...

They would also include Michael Dell, Intel and Hewlett Packard in the law suit just to name a few....

I am waiting for some smart A$$ to sue his/her mother and father for bringing them into this world without their consent and subjecting them to all this misery...

I reckon I'd better sue the company, whose employee caused me to quit smoking, cause after I did, I developed Ulcerative Colitis, which had been kept in check by the nicotine in the cigarettes. Next, I better sue my wife, for feeding me so well, and causing me to become overweight, and developing diabetes, from being overweight! Uh-oh, maybe even my employer, for forcing me to sit on my big, fat, back side, in front of the computer all day, and not allowing me to get any exercise, which aggravates my overweight condition!
I just realized, I may need to add Ford to my "Who to Sue" list, as they provided the bigger truck I needed to buy, to haul my big, fat, overweight, back side around in!
All Right! Anyone know a good attorney?

Well it certainly cannot be MY fault! I'm perfect and my Mother tells me so....

I never have liked the Blame Game players.

Nice post Ben!

I crashed into a tree once, and accomplished precisely what I set out to do...

That rotten old tree is gone, and I am still here.

But then, I look at things somewhat differently than most people.

I pulled a full grown Redbud tree out by the roots with my old 64 Ford, does that count???

I gave Ben some rep points and he now has three green squares.

No I'm not. I'm just your average FTE member.

That was an e-mail that was sent to me, so I thought it was a good FTE thread/subject.
