I’m Bored…Text Me.
Could this be the siren’s song of the 21st century?
“Auto racing is boring except when a car is going at least 172 miles per hour upside down.” Dave Barry
If it wasn’t for bored people, we wouldn’t have commerce. Boredom is the single biggest reason we buy things today. We spend trillions each year, simply because we don’t know what to do with ourselves. Without bored people, economies would collapse and Walmart would be a hair salon.
During the New York City blackouts of ’65 and ’77, birthrates jumped dramatically. Unfortunately, so did looting and arson. Thieves stole 50 new Pontiacs from a Buick dealership in the Bronx and 4,500 looters were arrested.
It’s nice to know bored people can apply themselves, especially if you take away their televisions and stereos.
Anyone who was bored back then (Neolithic times) either didn’t understand death or was dead already.
Nobody was bored back in Neolithic times, mostly because you took your life in your hands just stepping out of your cave. Either a big animal was waiting to eat you, or some Neanderthal was hitting you over the head with a bone. Anyone who was bored back then either didn’t understand death or was dead already.
