Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for March 13, 2009

I believe they are, or perhaps it’s because your school district is short of funds, and they have to combine drills.

I went to a Catholic grade school. Whenever we had a fire drill, we were told to say a prayer when we got outside. We always prayed for the same thing - that this time it was for real.

A triple-whammy like that sounds like preparation for the Rapture.

I do not recall an earthquake occurring in Calif. in other than dry weather or during any of the wildfires that we have.

When I was a kid it was fire drill to leave the building and air-raid drill to hunker in the hallway. (Never did get to duck-and-cover; I feel left out.)

(FLS: “Shan’t”? Who knew such a pinko was so linguistically reactionary? Gadzooks and egad!)

Well, it IS Friday the 13th!

Why aren’t our children being prepared for an alien invasion? Look to the skies, boys and girls!

So, is the BIG ONE supposed to hit today? No! I’m not prepared!

If it had been the big one, they would have included tsunamis and giant Stay Puft marshmallow men…

Fred G. Sanford tried to tell us, but we did not listen. We did not know how. Perhaps we’ll listen now. http://tinyurl.com/2w5wtu

Beware the Big-Eared One!

Nothing better than a Really Big One !

Waitaminnit - In a fire drill, you get out of the building. In an earthquake drill, you squat under a desk. They’re different types of drills, aren’t they?

Head between your knees and kiss your ass goodbye.
