Default Don't you just hate it.

They remind you and remind you not to forget Daylight Saving Time. They
come up with clever little phrases like "Spring forward and Fall back".
They act like the public is a bunch of morons. I think they might be
correct in their assessment.

Now they've started admonishing you to change batteries in your smoke
detectors twice a year when you change the clock. So that now means you
toss perfectly good batteries away after three months in the winter. How
dumb is that.

What's next? Let's see now . . .

When you change your clock also change the filters in your air
conditioner.
When you change your clock be sure to make sure you also get a pap smear
or psa test.
When you change your clock also change the batteries in your wrist
watch.
When you change your clock don't forget to get your annual physical
check-up.
When you change your clock clean your refrigerator.
When you change your clock make your hurricane preparations.

Boy is the population of this country ever a bunch of stupid insipid
sheep.
