Lewis Black: Daylight Savings

Source:Lewis Black on daylight savings in America.

"Lewis gets a lot of people ranting about Daylight Savings Time. Here's one from a fan and one from Lewis about it both beginning an it ending." 

From Lewis Black

I guess my first point here would be, I would tell Lewis Black and his fan Ted Williams: "Watch your fucking language, God dammit! Why the fuck do fucking swear so much? What's your fucking problem God dammit? You are always fucking swearing". 

And if Lewis Black ever saw this, his response would probably be something as intelligent and mature as: "Fuck you", or: "Go fuck yourself", while he's walking away, while giving me the middle finger, or "kiss my ass sign". You figure it out.

As far as Lewis Black's fan Ted Williams sharing that story with him, it takes me back 20 plus years, in the early 2000s, when I was working at movie theater in Bethesda, Maryland. This is about 10 years before I got into blogging full-time. 

I swear, maybe as many 1-2, 3-5 of the customers that I could come across at this movie theater, forgot their brains. They would remember their cell phones, but would forget their brains. They could tell you what the latest drug rehab that Lindsay Lohan was staying at, or the latest jail that Paris Hilton was being held at, the latest nightclub that Khloe Kardashian got kicked out of. Or whoever the latest "hot celebrities" were at the time and what their current troubles were. 

Even though the customers were such keen experts on anything that's trivial, (at least as it relates to celebrity culture) they couldn't find the ticket office at the theater to save their lives. Even though they just walked past the ticket office, to ask an usher "where do you buy tickets?"

Or whether or not the damn theater sold popcorn or not. Even though they could smell popcorn all over the place. And it was a freakin movie theater, for crying out loud. (Unless they forgot their noses as well as their brains) But at least they have their cell phones) Movie theaters that don't sell popcorn, would be like a ballpark that doesn't sell hot dogs. Or a bar that doesn't sell beer. And unfortunately you could go on. 

If these customers didn't forget to bring their brains to the movie theater, then they were falling asleep before they bought their 10 dollar movie tickets, to a movie that was probably so bad, they would've fallen asleep trying to watch it anyway. Or, spent most of the show texting to their friend next to them about how much the movie sucks. And then would try to get a refund for the film that they just bought tickets too, after they just saw the entire film, because they thought the movie sucked. If you are dizzy from reading that last point, I don't blame you. I got dizzy just trying to write it. 

So yes I have experience waiting on people who were either half asleep, or lost their brain somewhere on the way to the movie theater. But not to the point where I can't get through a sentence without swearing my ass off. Sounds like this person has been working at that Holiday Inn for too long. And should try to get a better job. Unless they're still stuck at the Holiday Inn, because that's the best job that they can get. Perhaps they have anger management issues. Just throwing a thought out there.
