Haiku/Gesundheit (Volume XIII)
lessons learned from a diamond jewelry commercial*
(or "if these advertisements were people, i'd take up boxing")
always consult with
wrench experts before getting
engaged to a tool
on joining a co-ed softball league
(or "back into the swing of things — sort of")
i seem to recall
being much better at this
where is my ice pack?
on being asked to remove my shoes at the sea-tac airport
(or, "what's next, tsa?")
ever stopped to think
about the dangers of the
underwire bra?
*A response to J.B. Robinson's newest radio diarrhea, in which a woman tells her man that shopping for a diamond ring is a lot like shopping for wrenches (in both cases, she claims, you need to consult an expert).

ha! I'm willing to bet the underwire of an underwire bra could do some serious damage... I know I've had a few gouge bits out of me when they start to break down!
The probability of a man asking for help picking a diamond is about the same as one asking for help buying a wrench: 0. A friend once said "Men buy tools like women buy shoes and vice versa." I tend to agree.
Yeah, ice packs can be your friend as you get back into the swing of things.

In the commercial, the woman actually says she'd consult with a wrench expert before buying wrenches for her man. She then recommends he consult with a diamond expert before getting her a ring. The whole setup is ridiculous.
