Happy 4th of July

Happy day before the 4th of July!

Have you ever written what you think to be an excellent post and then, instead of clicking on the mighy "Publish Post" button, you, out of habit, hit the back arrow? No. You're too smart to do something like that. Apparently I'm not and did just that. Idgit.

Today's Stupidest Person of the City Award Goes to:.....
The woman who let her dog walk on the escalator stairs only to get his paw and tail jammed into the angry teeth of the escalator because he didn't know how escalators work (something that was crammed down my throat when I was a kid, "If your shoelaces get caught in those teeth you could lose your foot" my sister always warned me). Apparently the dog's high-pitched screams could be heard in the library. Can you imagine? What kind of smarts does it take to know NOT to let your dog accompany you on an escalator unless held? Especially a tiney tiny one.

As for the dog, luckily he gets to keep his paw and tail but was cut-up. The woman, well, she lost her brain (if she even had one) a long time ago to do something that idiotic. I fear for that dog's future.
