This morning as I was walking through my professional office building, I noticed a young woman walking through with a large and noticeable tattoo on her arm. Upon a closer inspection I noticed what appeared to be the most interesting tattoo I’ve ever seen in passing.
I’d also like to point out that I work in a professional office building. In a very conservative State in the Union. So while I myself am no stranger to tattoos, I was definitely surprised when I saw this one!
While some people may consider it gutsy, I asked the young lady if I could take a picture of her tattoo. More specifically the conversation went like this:
Me: Excuse me miss!
Her: <Incredibly weird “why are you talking to me” look>
Me: that is the most awesome Tattoo I have ever seen. Would you mind if I took a picture with my phone?
Her: Sure.
Me: Thanks!
And that was the end of our conversation. Here now I share a censored version with you. Click the thumbnail above to see the picture I took.
Caution:I wouldn’t let my kids see this tattoo if I could help it! With that being said, I still saw it in my office building.
Personally, I’m not sure what would possess a person to get any kind of tattoo. At all. Part of that is my own personal life-long philosophy; some of it probably has to do with my beliefs; Mostly my thoughts revolve around: ”What the heck is that thing and why would you want it on your arm?!?!”.
I used to work with a young single guy who would date girls based on their “FP”, or ‘Fat Potential’.
If the first few dates were going good, he would take the unusual step of trying to meet the girls family. More specifically, he wanted to meet her mother to evaluate what the younger girls Fat Potential might be, based on how her mother’s appearance has panned out over the years.
If the girl appeared to be at a high risk for FP, he would frequently end the relationship within a couple of days thereafter.
This just in: House bill 1337 requires all U.S. Citizens to purchase tooth brushes or receive a 250$ fine, 10 days jail time, or both. Subsidies will be provided for low income families who can’t afford tooth brushes.
The narrow 51/49% vote is considered an enormous win for President Barack Obama and the democratic party, who’s approval numbers had been waining in recent months due to unfair criticism by the media and school yard bullying by the republican party.
“Now even less fortunate people with bad teeth will be able to focus more on their ‘arts and crafts’ project time and less on their dental hygiene.” – Nancy Pelosi
The Congressional Budget Office published estimates for the Bills fiscal impact, based on an implementation date of 2014. the CBO estimates that by 2017, 297 million Americans will have tooth brushes, and 220 million americans will be brushing semi-regularly. They also estimate a 250 million dollar revenue for fines and penalties imposed on brushless naysayers.
the remaining 15 million unbrushed americans are either denture wearers or newborn babies.
Update 3/22/2010 1:07 PM – Amending bill passed:
Now, all US citizens are required to brush at least 3 times a week unless they’re disabled, or on medicare in which case, tooth brushes aren’t covered. Also, members of congress aren’t required to have tooth brushes, although they’ll be provided free of charge for the duration of their term.
Update 3/22/2010 2:10 PM – Executive Order Issued:
An executive order by President Barack Obama modifies the existing legislation so that pregnant woman are encouraged to brush regularly, but won’t pay a fine if they choose not to brush.
Note: This is satire. However, it being as believable as it is should be a statement in and of its self.
