If you’re a blond, do not touch any keys. You’re bound to screw up.
(For the record - this is not meant to poke fun at mental issues, but at government and other “phone services”. They may not be as bad as this, but “press this, say that, please blow your nose after the beep” has become a d*** nuisance in this country - and I’m guessing it’s a global thing. And don’t get me started on the “music”!!)"
There isn't a problem with this kind of humor at our house since there is plenty of mental health issues to go around. See the hubby's blog here regarding his ongoing issues with Bipolar Disorder. And, I am blond dealing with my own codependent and depression issues. Duh. So A little humor is welcome, huh.
