Doomed! We Are DOOMED

We are currently locked in a celebrity death match to determine the next President of the United States. This blog isn't about that. It is about our inability to get some very basic things figured out. We, as a people, are not qualified or capable of picking the next leader of the free world. Think about it. You go to the grocery store and buy a bag of potato chips and a container of chip dip. What is the correct chip to dip ratio? It always works out that you have some potato chips left but zero dip. Or, perhaps as tragic dip left and no chips. So, back to the grocery store. If you buy another bag of chips because you have dip left you quickly realize you will have too many chips for the remaining dip. You buy more dip hoping it will work out this time. Now you relax with a beer, chips and dip. Near the end of the bag of chips you realize that you over bought the dip. It seems like an endless loop. Chips left or dip left. Never a happy ending when both containers are empty at the same time. Chips are always a problem. You cannot buy a bag of chips that does not have potato chip shrapnel at the bottom. How do you put dip on a piece of potato chip the size of a baby's fingernail? So there you have it, a math problem Stephen Hawking couldn't solve. Pick a new President? We can't even sell hot dogs and buns in matching containers all the time. Ten hot dogs in the pack. Eight buns! Really? Now my entire meal is a mess. Chips and dip don't match up. Left over hot dogs with no buns. WE ARE DOOMED!!!
