"It's why man invented fire"....... dumb ass billboard.
There is a local steakhouse who has a billboard out on the interstate with this phrase on it. It shows a nice looking steak being cooked over a flaming fire.
I WILL not eat there. Ever. If they are that ignorant how am I sure they wash their hands after using the toilet?
I wonder, did man invent ice? Did man invent water?

3. And yet you thought enough about the billboard to write a post about it
Billboards are not places of enlightenment. They're designed to catch your attention as you whiz by at 80 mph. Seems to me the folks know what they're doing.

6. I guess it did its job........
Still wouldn't eat there though. If they had said this is why man learned how to make fire I would feel better.

8. You wouldn't have had time to read that many words
I'm sure the folks at that restaurant know man didn't invent fire. They also know how many words a person can read as they're driving down the Interstate.

7. I KNOW why sex was invented.......
It's the cuddling afterwords that stumps me. As a man it is hard to understand.
