Keep Away From Fire












I turn on the computer, transfer new pictures from my camera, delete
those that may be detrimental to my person, organize those that pass
the quality control test, decide which ones will go up my site. Then I go
to the kitchen to drink a glass of water, see the dishes on the sink
and decide to wash them. I go back to the sofa where I have my laptop
set up, realize if I want to have my clothes dry by tomorrow afternoon
I have to do the laundry now. I do the laundry. Since I already am in
the bathroom, I might as well take a shower. After the shower I am
already hungry so I heat a cup of water for a meal of yakisoba. I wash
the dishes again. Finally, I sit down in front of the computer and
think of something to write. And I think. And think. And think.




I look around me. I see my phone and think of who to text. I text my
friend Tin what time we are meeting at Shang tonight. I look at my
shirt and realize I haven't read its label so I took it off and see
this (refer to picture on the right):




I am amazed at the wealth of information this little piece of cloth has given me. One of the most important is that I have the body of a 13-14 year old. Thank you so much, barely-there breasts.

But guess what really catches my attention (um, maybe because it is meant to catch people's attention, being written in red, all caps). This leads me to ask why they don't put other shirt-saving tips as well:
1. Keep away from dogs/cats/birds/children with pentel pens/scissors, etc.
2. Keep away from sharks/crocodiles/tigers, etc when in the zoo.
3. Do not drop from an airplane.
4. Use a bib when eating.

Feel free to add more. I believe we may be saving the clothing industry.

  6. I agree that pink would do it. In fact, you should paint the whole warehouse pink.

    My breasts thank you, Mr. President.

  9. I just went over to your site, Mr. President, and let me just say that my breasts are so happy to find out that they're not alone! Or that they're not uh, two of a kind. They have sistahs all over the world! Yay!

    It's amazing what one can do with $5.00 and too much free time. :-)
