Slackjaw Week In Revue

This week we have a guy in Perth (it’s the world’s most isolated city, I hear), Western Australia who put a baby in the clothes dryer. The 16 month old baby spilled something on itself, whereupon the 21 year old man caring for the child while the mother was out on an errand, put said baby in the dryer for “a minute or two”. The baby suffered second and third degree burns and bruising, but is expected to recover according to latest reports.

Next, from Sydney, we have a 59 year old man who was found to have five times the legal limit of alcohol in his blood…clocking in at a respectable 0.265…doing 80km/h (50mph), in a school zone, at 3 in the afternoon, with kids on the road.

Finally we have the rugby player who has been fired from his team for punching a bikini model square in the face, breaking her pert little nose.

All further evidence refuting the
Intelligent Design theory to be sure, but that last one really bugs me. It’s just so What Not To Do, and on so many levels.

So, the baby in the dryer is a bad idea?

Working in the American auto racing field, I come across plenty of Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel types. My favorites include the NASCAR fans who camp and bring their charcoal grills inside their tents to keep warm while they sleep. Needless to say, those guys are always late for the start of the race in the morning.

yes, it's best to dry a baby by draping it over a chair and placing it in a sunny spot.
