Ban-itis....A Disease Coming To Us All

The new NFL rule is that once a running back is three yards from the line of scrimmage, he can't use the crown of his helmet to ward off potential tacklers. New brain science now suggests that we need to ban boxing, hockey and soccer. Boxing due to the many blows to the head; Hockey due to the many fights with blows to the head and 'checks' to the head; and Soccer due to the use of the head to propel the ball. Yes, let's ban them all. Ban, ban, ban, ban, banbanbanbanbanban.
Let's ban everything. I propose we ban talking wives. It's been proven over the centuries their incessant nagging is the reason husbands usually die FIRST! We need to ban everything that has the slightest potential at harming even one human being. Ladders? Out. Bathtubs? Out. Wall sockets? Out. Rope? Out. Tools of any kind? Out. Computers and the internet? Out. Television? Out. Why? Because the other day a three year old girl pulled one over on herself and died. Bicycles and tricycles and motorcycles? OUT!!!!!
Then, of course, you have the usual dangerous suspects that must be banned immediately. Cars, guns, bows and arrows, crossbows and bolts, knives, swords, alcohol, tobacco, big gulps, baby formula, airplanes, boats, and hot air balloons. Sugar, butter, bacon, steak, mutton, fish, salt, eggs, cheese, and coffee all have to go. The National Organization of Women claim that even consensual sex is a form of violence against women, so out it goes. No more sex, except for male homosexuals. The love of money is the root of all evil. OUT IT GOES.
All medication must be banned. Why? Have you not heard the potential side effects of these things? Depression, watery eyes, runny nose, anxiety, heart attack, kidney failure, liver implosion, pancreas coming out your navel, anal leakage, bladder rupture, ear drum explosions and erections lasting more than four hours. Who wants THAT?
Stairs must be banned. Dogs, horses, cows, sheep, pigs, cats, snakes, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs and turtles can no longer be kept as pets because each one comes with its own kind of danger. NO more fishing!!!! Hooks in your finger and fins puncturing your hand mean germs can enter your bloodstream and suck the life right out of you. NO more hunting!!! Deer may antler you to death or you might fall out of your blind or shoot yourself in the foot or get shot by someone who 'thought' you were a deer.
Walking has to be banned. We must crawl everywhere we go. Why? Because falls are one of the leading causes of injury and death. If we crawl everywhere, we can't fall. Work must be banned. This is my favorite. Work related accidents are off the charts. If we don't work, we can't have work related accidents and we can all be safe. We'll starve...but we'll be safe. We won't get hurt. Nobody should ever ever ever never get hurt. Ever. Ever. Ever.
Ban friends, family, acquaintances, girlfriends, boyfriends, husbands and wives. How many people get hurt in relationships? How many kill themselves or their significant other over relationships gone bad? Ban all human interaction to keep this type of harm from happening. Ban speaking to one another. Words HURT!!!!
Ban education and fire all the teachers. One school won't have an Honors Night for over achieving students because 'it would be devastating to the other students'. Hell yeah. Ban honoring those who work hard, study hard and do all the right things to further their lives. Screw 'em. We can't have anybody hurt, even those who don't study, don't work hard, don't care, and want to coast through life. It's all about being equal and not getting hurt in any way, shape or form. I'm all for it.
Ban asteroids from hitting earth. Ban global warming. Ban space junk. Ban comets. Ban swimming in salt water because of sharks and fresh water swimming because of drownings. Ban peanut butter because of allergies. Ban pollen. Ban lightning. Ban hurricanes, tornadoes and any wind over ten miles an hour.
The government should make a four x four foot box that is germ free and impervious to a direct hit by a nuclear weapon...uh...BAN NUCLEAR WEAPONS!!!! These boxes should be in sufficient quantity for every American, living or dead. Then, we all get in our boxes and shut ourselves in so we can be safe. Somehow, nutritious and safe food and water will have to be delivered to us, and our waste will somehow need to be removed safely and processed to keep the environment safe. But, if we are all in our own little, impervious box, then nothing bad can ever happen to us. Wouldn't that be great?
I tell you...I would never have believed this world could get this messed up in such a short amount of time as the few years I've been alive. I have truly passed from the sublime into the ridiculous. The inmates are indeed running the asylum. God help us all.
