Are They Going To Tell Us Every Time Anybody Anywhere Gets COVID?

The other day I saw this “shocking” headline on top of a News Article...

Portuguese Surfer Frederico Morais Tests Positive for COVID-19

Who? Do you know who this guy is? I sure don’t. Is this the tip of the Proverbial Iceberg? Does this mean that we are going to see a News Article Attention Getting Headline every time anyone anywhere gets COVID?

I don’t have this much attention in me! I must have Attention Deficit Disorder! J

Here are 3 COVID Positive Test Result Headlines we will see in times to come...

Ø Raymond Rasputin of Toledo, OH has tested positive for COVID-19!

Ø Agnes Hickenloop of Meridian, MS has tested positive for COVID-19!

Ø Bradley Paseworth of Provo, UT has tested positive for COVID-19!

I made up these 3 People especially for use in the above phony headlines. It makes no never mind that these 3 people do not exist. They deserve to be worried about as much as people who do exist. Let’s all try to live by the new Mission Statement that was adopted at last February’s Fictitious People of America’s National Convention...

Fictitious People May Not Exist but They Deserve the Same Respect Real People Do Because Fictitious People Are People Too

Would I kid u?

Lagniappe: Now we have Snow Leopards to worry about. News headline I actually saw on the Internet... Unvaccinated snow leopard at San Diego Zoo catches COVID-19 I feel Silly because I did not even know we were Vaccinating Snow Leopards. (They must be people too.)

Blame It On COVID-19

 

Have you noticed how often we are told something that is happening to us or not happening to us is happening or not happening because of COVID-19? I have noticed but that may be because I am The Noticer.

My Credit Union has discontinued the Free Coffee Service for us members. The Coffee Do-It-Yourself Machine is still there but there is a sign on it telling members they can’t use it Because of the Pandemic.

Here is what really happened:

Ø At a Board of Directors Meeting last year Director Sidney Pennypincher stood up and said, “We have to do something about this Free Coffee Service we offer our members. It is a significant financial drain on our bottom line. Two months ago I made a proposal that we spend $35,000 to study just how much this Perk (did you get my little play on words here?) was costing us. We now have the results of the study and I was shocked to find out it was costing us $512.76 a year! I am hereby proposing that we discontinue this wasteful practice!”

Ø One of the directors said, “Maybe we ought to tread lightly here before we make our members mad at us?”

Ø Pennypincher countered, “No problem. We will put a sign on the machine and say we had to stop the Coffee Service because of COVID-19”.

That being said all hands shot up and the Free Coffee Service was history.

************

Other Pandemic Changes...

Ø Due to the pandemic sales people are no longer required to be nice to customers.

Ø Because of the Pandemic after putting your groceries in your paper or plastic bags in the grocery story, the check out engineers have been directed to no longer allow you to take your groceries out of the store with you.

Ø Due to the pandemic banks have discontinued paying interest on all CDs and Savings Accounts.

I apologize for the 3 above Completely Made Up Bullet Points because there is no way any such Silly Foolishness could ever happen...Or could they?

Of Course I Know What That Means. Everyone Knows What That Means. You Say You Don’t Know What That Means. What’s The Matter With You?

 

Be careful how you use Acronyms that you think you know the meaning of. For example, MSN, of course, stands for Microsoft Network...Or does it?

You may use it and think you are referring to Microsoft Network and find that you offended the people who are just crazy in love with Mahou Sensei Negima...

Negima! Magister Negi Magi, known in Japan as Magical Teacher Negima! (Japanese: 魔法先生ネギま!, Hepburn: Mahō Sensei Negima!), is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Ken Akamatsu. It was serialized in Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine from February 2003 to March 2012, with its chapters collected into 38 tankōbon volumes.

Below is the list of other confusion you may be in danger of spreading because of your MSM Confusion...
