Top 10 Signs You’re a “Nanny Stater”
You know nanny staters… the kinds who see government as a comforting, benevolent force, designed to keep everyone safe. Maybe you’re not sure if you are a big-government proponent or not. Well here are the top 10 ways to tell if you are:
- Your idea of a dangerous adventure involves eating unpasteurized cheese.
- You have “there should be a law against that” assigned to a function key on your computer.
- Safety instruction videos arouse you sexually.
- You’ve advocated changing “Don’t Walk” signs at pedestrian crossings to read “Don’t Walk OR Run!)” to remove the ambiguity.
- You often ponder the multitude of lives saved by the “Do not operate toaster under water” stickers.
- You refrained from giving your son or daughter adult Tylenol because their 12th birthday wasn’t for another 2 days.
- The “remove foil wrapper before eating” step has saved your ass more than once.
- You’re the moron who sued McDonalds for making you fat.
- Your happiness is directly proportional to the number of airbags in your car.
- You hate the part in The Matrix where Neo chooses the wrong pill.
