Rafa's Corner of Nonsense

Hello to all who, for lack of a better thing to do, have stumbled onto my blog. :-) Here you can expect moments of nonsense, moments of ramblings, moments of "oh sh1t, Rafa's on his soapbox, everybody down!", moments of introspection, moments of wisdom, and, of yeah, moments of absolute nonsense. :-) Enjoy!

Drop your kids on their heads; make 'em dumb; save thousands!

With the rising costs of higher education, parents nowadays seem to have a genuine concern regarding their ability to get their kids through college. Well, fret not, trusted reader, for I come to you with a solution (which should be evident from this post's title, but in case you are marginally retarded, I shall now state it as though it were a big revelation): drop your kids on their head when they're babies!

If you are lucky, brain damage will ensue and your kid will not be smart enough to even get into college (if you do it right, not even DeVry, regardless of how serious they are about success). However, a tender balance must be struck, for you do not want your kid to be so brain-damaged you have to feed him or put him in special education (thus completely missing the whole point).

It's all about surfaces; if you drop them on cement, that's probaby too much brain damage; on a bed, too little. Now, a berber carpet (as per my repeated experiments with as many children as I've been able to obtain from around the neighborhood) seems to yield the best results (let's just say that not all my experimentation proved successful, and that some of my neighbors' kids will be wearing padded helmets and riding the short yellow bus: my bad!).

The other trick is doing this during early infancy so that your kids won't remember it when they grow up: no one wants to have their son remember in a therapy session how Daddy pushed him off a stool onto the floor! So, in summary: surface and timing are the most important things to remember.

Good luck!!!

Disclaimer: Rafa is kidding; he has not dropped any kids on their heads in the course of a makeshift, Mengelian experiment, or at least not after his court injunction. Dropping your kids on their heads is a bad idea, which you'd know unless you yourself had been dropped as a baby, in which case you should have been chemically castrated during early childhood, or at least you should have been raised as an engineer so that no one would have sex with you and you wouldn't reproduce.

Wussy. Be a man and don't give us any of this "Disclaimer" horse shit.

I will do one further. I encourse all readers to kill their children and then themselves. We don't need you or "your kind" using up all of our resources. It took a million years to turn that dinosaur into a gallon of gas, and you waste it on driving your fat ass to the local McDonalds 'cause you are too lazy to cook for yourselves. Kill Yourself....

Love,
Jon
