How Medicated Would I Need To Be?
Imagine a safe measuring 4'x4'x8'. On the outside. Ok, got it? Now imagine a tornado coming your way and locking yourself inside this safe - maybe not just by yourself. Is there enough Valium in the world?? My local TV station is giving away one of these every day. This is a contest I'm not entering.

When I was a child, my parents seem to worry about nuclear holocaust (courtesy of The Russians) and imagine the coming of beings from another planet in about equal measures; tornados hardly got a look in. And no, they didn't do drugs, unless you count Schlitz beer. In the 35 years I lived in OKC I remember Gary England yelling a lot, but only one trip to the inside of a closet. I'm convinced that a big part of winning is not living in a place that tornados mow down every other spring (eg Union City). After that it's pretty much luck. We never had a shelter in the back yard, though it may have been economics more than complacency.
ReplyDeleteThat box sounds more like a coffin than a 'safe'. I'd pass as well.
Glad someone agrees with me on this contest. My parents never worried about the Russians, but always said that we should be much more cautious with China. I think their reasoning was that Russia didn't have enough fit men to be afraid of, but China did.
ReplyDeleteIs this a safe or a tornado shelter? I can imagine voluntarily locking myself into one faced with a tornado.
ReplyDeleteThat does seem small. I really don't like small, enclosed spaces. Then again, I don't like tornadoes, either. Tough call! Can I see what's behind door number 3, instead?
ReplyDeleteValium might help......
