There is the old public service announcement. 'Don't Drink And Drive'. You would usually see this on your TV around 3AM. And you were still up at that hour watching TV because you were drunk. Usually this was already after you got home, so it was a little late for the advice. Now there is the newer public service announcement. 'Buzzed Driving Is Drunk Driving'. Hopefully people see this before it's 3AM. But it seems we need a new one and it doesn't matter if it's 3AM or even if your drunk or not. It's 'Don't Drive Your Boat With Drugs In It'.
We're not talking a few joints here and there. We're talking Kilos. Maybe the public service announcement should say. 'Don't Drive Your Boat With Kilos In It'.
And J. Edgar Comey has been indicted on two counts based on lies he told to Congress. This has to be a first. No FBI Director has ever been indicted although maybe a few of them should have been, starting with J. Edgar Hoover himself. Will Comey get convicted, don't bet on it. If convicted will he do time? Fuggettaaboutit! But the public service announcement should be. "Don't lie to Congress. Remember you're under oath."
Of course some may wonder about all the other people who lied to Congress. You might say what about them? And we'd like to give you a list of them too but there's not enough space here or in too many other places either.
And for those of you who regularly go to the gym, we're sure you've seen this. Someone usually a Gen Y or Gen Z is sitting on one of the weight machines as pictured above. They are in between reps and they are texting on their phone while others wait to use the machine. We think the Public Service announcement should be. 'These machines are not phone booths.'.
This Public Service Announcement might not work as puzzled Gen Y and Z's might ask, what's a phone booth?
