Hiya Folks,
So I'm in line at the local Borg (the blue one) picking up some tubing when
I notice a kid playing with ata a Black and Decker display. I figured it
was a sander or something and didn't really pay much attention. Low and
behold, the kid moves and I realize it's a Power Tape Measure. No ****,
press the button and it pushes the tape out for you. Press another, and it
retracts. And for only $24.95 you too can save yourself around 2 calories
of effort avoiding the use of a "manual" tape measure..... I couldn't
believe it to be honest. It's no wonder this country is so obese!!!!

It's even worse than that.... I noticed that the local grocery store
now sells pre-made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with the crusts
cut off. I mean really, how much effort does it take to make a
sandwich of any type, much less one that just involves scooping some
goop out of a jar and spreading it on bread?



I'm partial to the frozen toast....you know,
you just pop it in the toaster and voila!
