Bad Joke Day

On an email list I used to be on, the rule was that you could only forward jokes to the list on Fridays — “bad joke day.” This email I received from a parenting list qualifies in my book:

Are your kids OUT OF CONTROL?
If so, GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK and contact NANNY 911!

FOX and Granada USA are looking for families that have a child or children who are out of control for the upcoming new unscripted series NANNY 911. Our “Nanny Specialists” will come to your home, assess the situation, and work their incredible “Mary Poppins”-like magic to transform your terrible tykes into perfect angels. To take part in this fun, family TV show, applicants must be legal residents of the U.S. with children between 2 and 9 years of age.

Oh fer cripes sake. That’s just what your messed up kids need — to be on a reality TV show.

My weekend plans include installing XP SP2 onto my computer. If I don’t post again for a while, you’ll know why.
