What Not To Do
I'm Lost Too
The irony of warning people about potentially dangerous activities while vigorously encouraging them to participate is not lost on us.
But Three Is My Lucky Number
Just know that you can get yourself into some serious jams if you don’t use your head. The following text describes a number of ways in which you can alter the anatomy of your hand to make it fit a bowling-ball perfectly. There are only three holes in a ball so why would you need two extra fingers?
The Man
Your city, county or state may require a building permit or other legal documentation and associated fees when altering a structure or infrastructure. Be sure you know what your local government requires before you go ripping into your dwelling or building an airplane in your basement.
My Cult Leader Told Me To Do It
Just because we perform certain tasks such as but not limited to: removing or disabling manufacturer’s safety features, soldering, welding, cutting,
sawing, not wearing dust masks, re-wiring junk, demolishing, nailing, gluing, fooling around with electricity, handling flammable industrial gases, mixing noxious substances, forgetting to wear safety glasses, wearing loose clothing, sanding, stripping, catching things on fire, injuring ourselves, running with scissors, or any similar activity doesn’t necessarily mean you should.
I'm The Decider
Although this is not an exhaustive list some examples of how your personal-preservation decisions can get you into trouble follow.
Smoke ‘Em If You Got ‘Em
If you handle flammable chemicals and decide to have a smoke or light a patchouli-scented candle while doing so, you have made a choice and the outcome of your choices is yours alone to own.
You Misspelled Sodder and Plumming
If you decide to solder the plumbing in your house you can easily start your house on fire.
I Bought This Place For The View
If your soldering or welding prowess lacks integrity your weld will leak and could flood your house or 20 story tenement.
I Don't See The Problem Here
If we forget to mention that the lug nuts on your car’s wheels should be tightened, it’s up to you to identify this oversight and resolve it for your own personal safety and for the safety of others.
Are You Saying I Don't Clean?
If you weld or grind and make no provision for sparks and hot discharge you will burn something. Exactly what that might be? We’re not sure…perhaps that deep pile of sawdust underneath your workbench.
I'm Self-Insured
If you launch your boat and neglect to insert the hull drain-plug the odds are that your boat will sink. It may not sink to the bottom but what’s the difference between a sunken boat and a swamped boat? Only your insurance company can answer that question.
Firemen Did All My Decorating
If you find yourself having flooded your house, burned it down or promoted yourself to the rank of U-boat captain we’d recommend you buy a T-shirt and have the following phrase applied to the front: “A$K ME ABOUT MY CO$TLY MI$TAKE.”
Does My Common Sense Make My Butt Look Big?
Just because you read about a recommendation on the web or on this site, that isn’t an
open invitation to blame somebody else because you cut one or more of your fingers off. At best, a surprise amputation is really just questionable technique on your part.
It’s as simple as this: Know your skill sets and work within those skill sets. Any activity you choose to engage in is exactly that: your choice.
Alcohol Makes Me Feel Funny; Let’s Go For A Drive
And finally, there are people who are safety conscious and there are people who are not. There are people who intuitively identify dangerous activities and there are people who do not. There are people who blow a .18 and drive cars. Know which one you are.
Abs and Glutes Workout
If you’re ‘that guy’ or younger than 18 and you can’t identify the cause and effect of your actions, grab a bag of cheese doodles and go catch a Gray’s Anatomy rerun. You’ve made the right choice.
