Daylight Safety Time
I read a report that states:
'The Monday after Daylight Savings Time' changes,
and goes into effect,
is the most dangerous day of the year.
The statistics are interesting,
but I couldnt see how it would effect me.
Then as I went to delete the message:
I SPRAINED MY FINGER ON THE KEYBOARD,
WELL, I PUT MY FINGER IN MY MOUTH TO MAKE IT FEEL BETTER,
AND CUT MY LIP WITH MY FINGERNAIL,
THEN I REALIZED THAT I HAD BEEN SCRATCHING MY NOSE RIGHT BEFORE I READ THE EMAIL, AND FOR SOME REASON, MY FINGER TASTED REALLY WIERD,
(NOT LAUGHING HERE)
NOW MY FINGER HURTS, MY TONGUE ITCHES, AND MY LIP IS BLEEDING.
SO, I GOT UP TO GO TO THE BATHROOM AND TRIPPED OVER THE SAFETY MAT ON THE FLOOR,
FELL AGAINST THE WALL, KNOCKING MY SAFETY PLAQUE DOWN, HITTING ME IN THE HEAD AND KNOCKING MY GLASSES OFF.
AS I WAS CRAWLING AROUND ON THE FLOOR, BLOOD RUNNING IN MY EYES,
LOOKING FOR MY GLASSES,
I FELT A CRUNCHING UNDER MY KNEE, (LOOK, THIS IS GETTING SERIOUS)
YEP, NOT ONLY DID I BREAK MY GLASSES, BUT I DROVE THE FRAME RIGHT INTO MY KNEE CAP, TORE MY PANTS, AND AS I SCREEMED IN PAIN, ROLLING OVER ON MY SIDE, MY FOOT CAUGHT THE CORD TO THE COMPUTER, AND PULLED IT DOWN ON TOP OF ME.
NOW IF YOU WERE TO TELL ME THAT TODAY WAS ANY DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER DAY, I WOULD HAVE SAID IT WAS JUST COINCIDENCE,
BUT FACTS ARE FACTS, AND,,,
OH, BY THE WAY,
I HAD NO IDEA THAT A BIG OLD COMPUTER MONITOR COULD SHOOT OUT THAT MANY SPARKS,
OR THAT BARE WIRES WOULD SEND SUCH A JOLT THOUGH ONE’S BODY,
BUT I DIGRESS.
SO,,,, AS I WAS HEADED OUT THE DOOR TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM, ON MY WAY OUT, I FELL DOWN THE STAIRS AND HIT MY HEAD ON THE GROUND, AND MY KEYS WENT FLYING, , , , , , , SOMEWHERE, , , , , ,
(QUEERY; why does you key fob have a button to make your horn honk so you can find your car, but your car doesn’t have a button you can push to help you find your keys?)
SO I STRUGGLED BACK TO MY DESK, ,,,, ,, ,AND SAW MY SAFETY PLAQUE LAYING ON THE FLOOR AMONGST THE SHARDS OF WHAT WAS LEFT OF MY GLASSES AND THE BROKEN COMPUTER.
WELL, I KNEW I COULDN’T LEAVE THEM LAYING THERE (very unsafe) SO I PICKED UP MY SAFETY PLAQUE, CUT MY FINGER ON THE GLASS,
WENT TO GET A HAMMER AND A NAIL,
AND A BANDAID,
YEH, I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE THINKING, I HIT MY THUMB WITH THE HAMMER?
RIGHT????? WRONG!!!
I HIT MY SPRAINED FINGER, , , , , , AND I THINK IT FIXED IT.
AND STRANGLY, THOUGH COVERED IN BLOOD, AND NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE CLEARLY,
MY SAFETY PLAQUE IS PROUDLY MOUNTED AGAIN, SAFELY ON THE WALL,
AND I FEEL MUCH BETTER NOW.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT,
TODAY MAY JUST BE THE MOST DANGEROUS DAY OF THE YEAR,
SO, PLEASE BE SAFE TODAY.

The word is 'changes'
