Seriously People!

Hello my dear friends! I know, as people, you sometimes over react to the silliest things.  You can't help yourselves, you're "human". But this goes beyond silly (even for humans). A 9 year old North Carolina boy was suspended from school for 2 days for sexual harassment after a substitute teacher overheard him tell another student that he thought one of his teachers was "cute". That's right. A nine year old boy was overheard telling another 9 year old boy that he thought one of his teachers was "cute" and he was suspended for SEXUAL HARASSMENT!  I feel quite comfortable in saying that this world has GONE MAD! He never approached the teacher in question; never spoke to her; just told a friend what he thought and was suspended for it.  Here's a link to the article: Click Here.  I have never been to Brookside Elementary School in Gastonia, North Carolina, but I suspect their library may be in need of a dictionary! Regardless, it got me to thinking. This is a new world we live in and people are a little, well, nuts.  So I've compiled a short list of 5 things you, as humans, should no longer say to each other, in order to protect yourselves from possible legal action in the future.
1) "Hello"; "Hey"; "Hi" or any other type of open-ended greeting.  This could be construed as an attempt to engage the unsuspecting person in unwanted conversation, which could then lead to verbal harassment.
2) "What time is it?"  Clearly this could be misinterpreted as a backhanded way of implying that you want to have sex with that individual.  Why else would you want to know how long you have?!?!?!
3) "I beg your pardon".  Clearly you're begging for sex! How could you! You Pig!
4) "Is it hot enough/cold enough for you"?  Please! Obviously you just want to get in my fur!  SECURITY!
5) "How about those Buffalo Bills"? There are no sexual implications here, it's just sad.
So people, when in doubt use my simple NSATAEA approach:
Never Say Anything To Anyone Ever Again!  Thank goodness for Facebook.  Oh wait, Facebook!  Are you a stalker?  You must be a stalker.  Why else would you bring up Facebook?
