If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?

Nancy Reagan may have been on to something. If our government killed more people, then the quota of dead people would be filled earlier, and thus, fewer regular people would die each year. That reminds me of a comic called Arsenic Lullabye. I’d link to it, but it is really much too horrible to be viewed in a work environment, and that is really the only standard we try to maintain here at Drunken Pumpkin. Anything else is free game.

Jeff would like to pretend he doesn’t know why those warnings are included with that hat, but he knows the sad truth. You see, one time Jeff was out about town with his brand new suit and sat on a wet bench. This vexed him more than a little and he promptly went about trying to solve this horrible problem. Now, as we all know a hat will keep the rain and the damp off of your head. A simple leap of logic says that it should also keep the damp off of anything else that it happens to cover, as well. And while that is technically true, there is the problem that Jeff mentioned in his own post that the thing will fall off of your bottom quite readily. The other problem is that if you do manage to get the thing to stay where you intend it to be, either by string, tape, or staple gun, it will get squashed out of shape and no longer be as dapper as it once was. Jeff is still working on perfecting his bottom saving device, and any suggestions can be placed in the comments or emailed directly to Jeff via the address on his About page.

Tune in tomorrow for more sage advice about keeping dry and what to do with all of that pocket lint you have been collecting for the last few years.
