Question the Conventional

Um…HEELOOOO

I was just watching TV and a commercial came on about wearing your seat belt in Vermont.  It was a cop and he was in his cruiser talking about wearing your seat belt while you drive and also about not speeding.

 

The whole time he was talking in the commercial he was staring at the camera in the passenger side…while driving.

 

Way to go Vermont.

1$

What can you buy with 1$?

Not much, but you can donate one dollar to charity and make a difference.

 

I was in the check out line today and they were doing the whole “would you like to donate 1$ to breast cancer research”?  Now I HATE when people do this, it’s like when a Jehovah witness comes and knocks on your door and asks if you have found JC.  I usually answer yeah, I just left him in the shower and your cutting into our time.

 

I digress, so anyways there I was at the check out line and I am kind of spacing out and I noticed that for the 2nd time this clerk has asked if someone would like to donate a dollar she got shot down.  By two women.  In a row.  Who obviously can afford it.  So I got kind of pissed, I mean it’s their money, but seriously ONE DOLLAR.  For breast cancer research.  And they were women. 

How messed up is your life that you can’t sacrifice one dollar when 75% of sales are made on plastic, you don’t have to physically have a dollar in your pocket.  In fact, I bet these selfish women lost more then a dollar a week in loose change. 

1$ and you can make huge strives in cancer research and take steps towards saving lives.  Or you can keep your one dollar and go get a burger off the dollar menu…fat asses. 

 

Open your eyes and pay it forward.
