Dennis, I got a chuckle out of seeing this notification and it brought back memories of some confusing messages from my youth. I am of the generation where in the 50's we used to "duck and cover" or get "under our desks" as protection against a nuclear attack. Then, on the evening news, we would see videos of houses being turned into toothpicks from an A-bomb blast. I was only about 10 at the time but I did not think my desk was going to provide adequate protection. Instead of "duck and cover" they should have told us, "Drop to your knees, put your head between your legs and kiss your ass good-bye!"Since we got on the topic of age, when was the last time any of you saw one of these? We've been doing a major clean out and I came across this in a closet. I'm not going to post any of the other stuff I've found

My son was 3 hours from being one of those outliers. Born 3/28/84. He blames his mother for not hanging on. She is not amused.But think of those poor outliers who were born on Feb. 29, like Frederic in The Pirates of Penzance.
Oh, come on now! If the government says "duck and cover" will protect you from a million degree fireball then I'm sure it will.Dennis, I got a chuckle out of seeing this notification and it brought back memories of some confusing messages from my youth.
