November 5, 2010

I saw this flyer at the coffee shop today. It is an advertisement for an upcoming comedy night and, in the middle of all the pertinent information one would need to know if one wanted to attend, was this little piece of life advice: "Children not recommended." I thought the placement of this possibly sage advice was a little odd. Not to mention a little presumptuous. Perhaps it's meant to be a subliminal message to help control population growth. Even so, I happen to know many people who have had children, and have found the experience quite satisfactory. Except for the "free" part, these people might even describe it the same way this comedy night was described . . . "fun" and "hysterical."
