two shocking things
- I was in an "Everything for two shekels" store yesterday. I noticed that they were selling a peculiar little device. It looked kind of like a hearing aid, and it was advertised as a "cure" for tiredness, driving while sleepy, or drunk driving. I read the details. It was a device that, once turned on, would start to beep if the wearer's head began to droop. So, a drunk person who started falling asleep at the wheel would be woken up as soon as s/he fell asleep and his or her head started to droop. Isn't that horrible?
- I was in a department store. Two small boys, probably around six years old, walked by. One of the boys said quite loudly, to his friend, but heard by all: "I'd like to f%#k that woman." ("בא לי לזיין את האשה הזאת") Six years old! What is this world coming to? (And I think he was referring to a skimpily-dressed womannequin.)
