The Houston Metro is trying to kill the Human Race!
Ashes to Ashes, Bus to Dust
This morning I get on the bus to work and notice that a bright orange pamphlet adorns each seat. I am immediately annoyed because this is change and any divergence from the norm in my routine agitates my inner Rain Man. I sigh, knowing that this has to be ill tidings for the day to come.
I read the pamphlet only to be more annoyed. The pamphlet is a long-winded explanation of how riding the Houston Metro system will not make you sick. It then goes on to contradict itself by telling you ways to not avoid getting sick when riding the Houston Metro. The actual contents of this pamphlet are immaterial, it is filled with the usual drivel that authorities tell we lemmings when they are trying to control the public reaction to a situation to which there is no control. It’s not the contents of the pamphlet that annoy me, it’s the use of a pamphlet itself. That our kindly lords and masters who blunder through the tasks of administrating our daily lives are so clueless they don’t realize the methods employed to control panic about a contagion are going to be directly responsible for spreading said contagion.
Gather around children and let me tell you a magical tale…
People are annoying the living crap out of me today as it seems everyone got a memo this morning with instructions to make the dumbest statements possible.
