Think Before You Speak


Engage brain before opening mouth...

One of my dad's last assignments in the Army was at Fort Monroe, Virginia. Occasionally, when my mom was out and about, she would stop at a nearby Hardee's (Carl's Jr. out west) for a Diet Coke. They had a sign in the drive-through window there that said "Free Condiments Upon Request." Sometime later, when she was reading the local paper - the Hampton Daily Press - Mom noticed a letter to the editor wherein a woman wrote to complain that Hardee's was promoting teen sex by handing out "free condoms."


Maybe the advice should be "engage brain before inserting foot."
