'Hurricane' Eduaction
A friend sent me this...thought it would give you a little chuckle...well, maybe not if you haven't lived thru a blackout. But it is funny anyway.
What I've learned during our last "hurricane"...
1. Coffee and frozen pizzas can be made on a BBQ grill.
2. No matter how many times you flick the switch, lights don't work without electricity.
3. My car gets 23.21675 miles per gallon, EXACTLY (you can ask the people in line who helped me push it).
4. Kids can survive 4 days or longer without a video game controller in their hand.
5. Cats are even more irritating without power.
6. He who has the biggest generator wins.
7. Women can actually survive without doing their hair- you just wish they weren't around you.
8. A new method of non-lethal torture: showers without hot water.
9. There are a lot more stars in the sky than most people thought.
10. TV is an addiction and the withdrawal symptoms are painful.
11. A 7-lb bag of ice will keep a 14-lb turkey frozen for 8 more hours.
12. There are a lot of dang trees around here.
13. Aluminum siding, while aesthetically pleasing, is definitely not required.
14. Crickets can increase their volume to overcome the sound of 14 generators.
15. People will get into a line that has already formed without having any idea what the line is for.
16. Tele-marketers function no matter what the weather is doing.
17. Cell phones work when land lines are down, but only as long as the battery remains charged.
18. 27 of your neighbors are fed from a different transformer than you, and they are quick to point that out!
19. Hampers were not made to contain such a volume.
20. If my store sold only ice, chainsaws, gas and generators... I'd be rich.
21. Price of a can of soup rises 200 per cent in a storm.
22. Tree service companies are under-appreciated.
23. I learned what happens when you make fun of another state's blackout.
24. MATH 101: 30 days in a month, minus 6 days without power equals 30 per cent higher electric bill ?????
25. I can walk a lot farther than I thought.
