Let's start a thread on things that are so dumb in our society that you just can't make them up. I'm sure we can all think of something we see every day.
I'll start:
I was reconciling my checkbook this morning. On the copies that are between each check (that don't look anything like a check) it says they are "Non Negotiable." Who in the hell would be dumb enough to cash one of those?
Chocolate Covered Insect Day - October 14th
In our area, the government pays millions of dollars to maintain levees to protect farm ground from flooding.They also cost share wetlands projects in the exact same area.Your tax dollars are being spent to keep this area dry and to flood it at the same time.I'll bet that only another govt. program can top that.
Allowing a grossly wasteful government to seize your hard earned money in the futile hope that, some day, you or your family-members will get it back.
- Correction: some of it back.
I was wondering how long it would take for this to get political. Four posts isn't a record, but close.

i was once involved on a USACOE project in wyoming to remediate hydrocarbon contamination of ......................OIL SHALE...............
The year 2000.
The turn of the millennium.
Y2K.
So dumb I couldn't make it up.
Insurance when playing Black Jack?

Unbelievable as it is, the idiot that purchased Black Jack Insurance, should be on top!!!
But Ben was just like you, someone who loved designing and building things.

Dammit it doesn't matter what I post it becomes political.
And then I'm the bad boy!

Why not? When I attended a high school in Michigan the upperclassman sold elevator tickets to the Freshman. Problem was there was no elevator.
No I didn't buy any tickets!
Not as funny as convincing a new Airman in Air Force Tech School that he had to carry his mattress down 3 flights of stairs to be sprayed for bed bugs by the 1st. Sgt. You could hear the 1st. Sgt. yell all the way up the stairs!
My personal favorite, when I have my police car pulled across the road blocking, flares and cones blocking it some more and then people pulling up and asking me if the road it closed? Do they think I am just putting on a light show for the hell of it?
My little 4WD diesel tractor has a big yellow sticker under the steering column that states:
TRACTORS CAN BE UPSET
Then it gives three suggestions about keeping the tractor from getting upset.
Since it is of Japanese/Indian descent (Mitsubishi-Mahindra), I'd blame it on translation. But, all of the final work, and all of the small stuff, like seats, tires, wheels, front-end loader, backhoe, -- and labels -- are from the US. The tractor was assembled in Tomball TX. It does make me wonder.
Thankfully, my little tractor has never been very upset, and it behaves very well.
Ben Franklin had a few erroneous ideas, just like the rest of us.

Perhaps you are referring to his daily ritual of a nude cold air bath?

How about the fact that Cecil evidently knows that Ben Franklin had a daily ritual of a nude cold air bath? Now what in the world was he Googling to learn that gross little tidbit?

You don't believe that Cecil accidentally fell into his Icy pond.

That theory may very well explain why we saw a picture of his clothing sitting on the dock next to that hole in the ice! I just still can't believe he was Googling "Nude Pics of Ben Franklin." That's just wrong!
You don't know what you're missing until you try it guys!
If I had just half the brains and ingenuity of Ben Franklin. That guy was way ahead of his time. He has an impressive list of inventions attributed to him.
I particularly like his brainy idea of flying a kite with metal attached to it during a thunder and lightning storm. That one was really well thought out!
Yeah, Ben did come up with a number of amazing ideas. Just think what this group of folks could have done if we'd have lived back then. I think Dwight would have made Ben look like a complete amateur!

Todd,

So you think I walked out nude in the middle of the winter with a busy highway on the other side of the pond and jumped in? Ya think I'm crazy?!
Wait, don't answer that!
Actually I was wearing a Speedo.

You should wear a Brazilian-Cut Neoprene Cod Piece. It's much, much more comfortable and it drives the ladies wild.
Or it makes the ladies drive wild, I get those two mixed up.

Jeff,
I'm not even going to ask you how know this kind of stuff.
That's probably for the best Cecil.
