I’m a guy, and when I go shopping, I walk briskly to the item I need and walk briskly to the sales register. My only problem is other people…They’re walkin’ down the isles slowly, like they’re in a park or something, and gabbin’ and just plain getting in the way!
I was just about to make the same observation. The emblem should be the biohazard warning symbol, not the radioactivity warning symbol. To give a benefit of doubt, perhaps Wiley Miller knew better but decided more people would be familiar with the radioactivity symbol. Or perhaps the radioactivity symbol was easier to draw and more distinctive than the biohazard symbol.
The invisible pollen is what causes your health issues, but we see the larger pollen and blame it. The large pollen acts as a warning that the nasty stuff is after us, so be thankful when you see puddles of pollen.
As one UK visitor said— Atlanta was the only place on earth were cats turned yellow in the spring.

Now, if I’m in a sporting goods store, or a decent hardware store on a Saturday morning, that is appropriate behavior…

Every spring, you can count on it. That’s why I live somewhere it rains 300+ days a year.

Oak trees and pine trees have sex this time of year and you have to deal with it.

Wearing that suit with a brief will get you cavalier attention.

If trees are having sex that means I’m breathing…Oh yuck!
