Safety!

Thursday, March 8th, 2007

If I need to go into detail for you on what “Safety!” means, then quit reading now.

I just turned on the television, find the Disney Channel tuned in, and catch a minute of a sitcom.

A family is sitting around the table eating dinner.

The younger brother makes what appears to be a “fake farting” noise using his arm pit and hand.

The sister says something along the lines “nice one, faker.”

The brother blurts out “it was real.”

Mom is ticked; dad continues eating his dinner.

Mom leers at dad.

Dad turns to son and says

“Next time, call Safety”

Hah! I love it!

Pop culture has caught up with what I thought was an ancient (college in the ’80s for me) game of having to call it or risk getting beaten up.
