debit cards that you should never use as debit cards you should use them as credit cards and oh, btw? cut up your credit cards.

y'all know how flippin' insane i think the world has become these days, right, and having a debit card that you should never use as a debit card you should only use it as a credit card and oh btw, you should cut up your credit cards has got to be thee best piece of evidence for the truth of that that i can possibly think of.

"never use your debit card as a debit card."

i'm sorry - i'm not stupid - but that, right there, just freakin' blows. my. mind.

although, when you think about it, maybe there's some good, sound advice buried in there somewhere. maybe we should apply the debit card advice to everything else. for instance......

"never use your car as a car." - if we never used our cars as cars, we'd never get into car crashes. we wouldn't care how high the price of gasoline goes. we wouldn't have to go visit a bunch of people we don't wanna go visit. if we ever became homeless, we'd have a ready-made home to sleep in, so, voila, we'd never be homeless!

"never use your stove as a stove." - if we never used our stoves as stoves, we'd never ruin another thanksgiving dinner. we could finally stop yelling at our kids, "don't touch that! it could kill ya!"

"never use your lipstick as lipstick." - i read somewhere once where most lipsticks make much better eye shadows than they do lipsticks. (maybe the people who make lipstick are also the people who make debit cards.)

"never use your lawn mower as a lawn mower, use it as hair clippers."

(well, ok. if you really don't like somebody, sometimes the advice does make sense.)
