I'm sure I'm not the only one that on occasion comes across a product, event, phrase, or thing that somehow defies all reason whatsoever. On a daily basis I must roll my eyes and shake my head at something that makes me go, "What the
.". So in the spirit of such a topic I decided to make a Top 10 list of all the really nutty stuff out there I just don't get.
1. Snuggies for Dogs. I can understand when it's cold outside their fur coat may not be enough and you may want to put a sweater on them, but a Snuggie? They can't go outside in a Snuggie and indoors they have their fur coat on! Snuggies for humans I don't even like because the darn thing gets put on backwards like a hospital gown but they don't have any ties in the back to keep them on. Ain't nobody gettin' snuggled there.
2. Short sleeved sweaters. Sorry, don't get them either. If it's a sweater it's for the winter and should be long-sleeved. If it's warm enough to be wearing short sleeves then making it with sweater material would just make you roast.
3. Victoria's Secret Diamond Bra. What idiot thought to make a bra out of a million dollars' worth of diamonds? Besides the fact that it would be uncomfortable as hell, if you seriously wore it nobody would see it because it's under your clothes. Unless of course you decide to keep your blouse unbuttoned for everyone to see you have a million dollars strapped to your ta-tas kinda' trashy. Starving orphans in the world and we're sewing shiny rocks onto our underwear.
4. Why is it that you can buy guns and ammo at Walmart along with R-rated movies with soft-porn and violence, but they insist on music CDs with edited out swear words? So it's okay to get our perversity on video and shoot up the place with semi-automatics but we can't dance to it?
5. Dog food commercials that have new and improved taste to them. Do they honestly have people that taste-test them? Imagine having to tell all your friends at your 25th year high school reunion that what you amounted to was a dog food taster. Could you really feel good about yourself putting that on a business card? When you decide to go for another job at a rival company what do you put down on your resume I've eaten, Alpo, Purina, and Chuck Wagon for five years and only got sick twice?
6. People that go out hunting deer and come back after hours of freezing their tails off to say they didn't see one deer. That doesn't make sense to me because every day I pass by those yellow diamond signs that say "deer crossing" and sure enough somebody is always hitting a deer there usually "me." So wouldn't it make sense to set up your tree stand next to the deer crossing sign and just wait a few minutes? You'll get your dinner a lot quicker that way. It will save me from hitting them with my car every other week because at this point I think the deer are rallying to put my face on a little "Wanted for killing deer" sign at the Forest Post Office like in some twisted Far Side cartoon.
7. Now everyone has long laughed at the idea of why they put Braille on the ATMs at the drive-thru bank. Now it doesn't make any sense to "us" but what if we're assuming incorrectly? For all we know maybe it's a warning to them that reads, "Get out of the way, you're about to get run over!"
8. It doesn't make sense that Tarzan is living in the jungle for years and doesn't have a beard. Did the gorillas stock shaving cream and razors up there in the trees?
9. People that say, "I slept like a baby." Does that mean that they cried all night waking their parents out of a sound sleep to be fed every two hours? Honestly, what baby sleeps soundly through the night? What a stupid phrase.
10. Last but not least people that wear their Pajamas and slippers to the mall. This is almost as bad as men that do comb-overs to hide an obvious bald head or worse a bad wig or toupee. It's just soooo wrong. PJs and slippers are not for public viewing you look like a slob and other people will just stare at you with horrid looks on their faces.
So there you have it my top ten things that just don't make sense to me. I actually could write 100 things that don't make sense but if I actually got that far there would be suggestions that I go to anger management classes I'm sure.
