I saw a scary video once of a fully loaded escalator that failed and the weight of all the people sent it into high speed downward motion and bodies were piling up at the bottom.
P.S. I went on youtube and saw a bunch of videos of this very thing happening. Seems like a malfunction that they should anticipate and have failsafe backup to lock it in place but apparently it still happens. https://youtu.be/4uAaGmux9VE
When someone is being murdered by suffocation with a plastic bag over their head, why instead of flailing their arms trying to get at their attacker, don't they just poke a hole in the bag over their mouth?

Given the current state of affairs in our country, culture wars etc., should we change the name of the country to The Divided States of America? Instead of E Pluribus Unum we could start putting No Common Ground on the money.

I think WWIII has already started. China attacked us with bio-weaponry and we're to stupid to recognize it. Gosh, spreading contagion via balloon might be a possibility, if only they'd done the research to know when and where to launch the balloons from.
Oh, wait, research underway.
Meanwhile, Russia's demonstrated a willingness to kill for an open port other than Vladivostok, and everyone's getting on board, one way or the other. And, of course, the Islamic world is in shambles and perpetual chaotic confusion. Earthquakes, volcanoes, floods.
Well, enough paranoid delusion for the moment,
Have a nice day.

@peter4jc , I received a newsletter in the mail today. Very interesting, I think I will enjoy reading it. I'm not sure where to start, though! Lots of new stories to me, got a recommendation?
(You're going to pull me into the Good Trader's list kicking and screaming, aren't you?)

I use oil packed anchovies and I rinse them to take the salt down a bit.
The fella running for GA senator, Warnock, sure looks a lot like who keeps popping up in the Ceasars sportsbook commercials.
Why did the take the high beams off the floorboard and why did they move the side for the gas cap?
Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.
Is an escalator ever truly broken? Short of catastrophic structural failure, that is….
No, they are never broken, they just become stairs. At least, that is the case according to Mitch Hedberg.

Shouldn't people with foot fetishes be called ped-o-philes?

Do they have restaurants in Japan where Americans cook in front of them using a grill and sitting in lawn chairs?
Cowboy hats, red and white checkered tablecloths, and a potato salad dispenser.
You'll come back for the boat ride....
Back in my day, there was so much toilet paper and eggs that we would throw them at the houses of our enemies!

No, just 'moron'.
Why do they put foot bands on cigars instead of head bands?
What if George Santos and A.O.C. had a baby?
Of course, how would she impregnate him?

Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

When your as seasoned as @peter4jc, you post when you get the though, where you got it lest you forget it by the time you find a different thread.
