Safety Corner: A Joke?

As published in the Herald, July 2003

I am not watching so take your chances and do the following 12 steps to disaster:

• Run with scissors.
• Play with matches.
• Clean your auto parts with gasoline.
• Discard smoking materials irresponsibly.
• Leave food cooking on the stove then go out for ice cream.
• Never clean or inspect your home heating system
• Give children plastic laundry bags to play with.
• Blow-dry your hair while bathing.
• Use lots of gasoline to start your bar-b-que.
• Never clean your fireplace chimney.
• Leave hot scalding liquids within reach of small children.
• Drive drunk, sleepy, or while distracted by a cell phone.
