You Can't Make Up This Stuff

[Dennis The B]

Like most folks, I've been keeping up with Hurricane Irma's path through the Caribbean. Last night, while flipping the channels, I ran across Fox News, and watched it for a while.

They were running wall-to-wall Irma, even keeping the screen split between the commercials and Irma's path.

On the commercial side appeared an ad for Sandals Resorts, and a pitch for The Turks and Caicos Islands. They were still in the grip of the storm.

If I were Sandals' marketing veep, I'd be talking to someone about ad scheduling.

I see where one of the Sheriffs in Florida had to warn folks that shooting at the hurricane won't do any good......

Seems that someone started a Facebook page called "Shoot Irma" to show that Florida is a "Stand your Ground" State and will defend itself. (So far they have some 58,000 followers.)

As the Sheriff said 99% of the respondents know it's just a joke, but he is worried about the 1 % that don't and will be out there blasting away at the clouds and wind. (And there will be that 1%, at the least.)

Wow... that gives "shooting the breeze" a whole new meaning
