I think they assume anyone who is still reading a print newspaper in 2017 needed things dumbed down for them.Was reading recipe in a newspaper and one of the ingredients was frozen green grapes.. At the end of the list of ingredients was the following;
Note To make frozen green grapes, place green grapes in a freezer
I kid you not. If we are so dumbed down that that direction was necessary.....We. Are. Doomed.
We have each seen our share of wow-inspiring feats of stupidity. Mine, which I still shake my head over: I offered to get a neighbor something from the liquor store and he asked for two bottles of Thunderbird wine. He seemed excessively excited about the opportunity to partake in this vile connotation. I was taken aback because he had never struck me as being a Thunderbird or Wild Irish Rose connoisseur, but, no skin off my nose, did as he requested. Next day, he's ashen white, hanging onto the side of his bed, puking his guts out with a fervor motivated by a desire to not die right then and there. "Philip, why did ask for that disgusting bottle of wino wine?" Philip looked at me as if I were the wino myself and he was this guy:

I was about to say.You may not feel "stupid" but you do loose man points for making a drink that has "peach shrub" in it.
Unless of course you are making it for a female friend while you do a Manhattan.
I used to work for a company that did a lot of CAD for the design of underground electric utilities. Well, I was walking by one CAD operator that was holding a ruler up against the screen measuring a line on the screen. I asked him what he was doing and he told me he was making sure this one line was 1 ft long. I said, Okay, and walked around the corner and just busted my gut laughing.
Makes sense. We all know ratios on a screen are always 1:1. That's why Google Maps is such a pain in the ass to use.

Wait, wait, wait, slow down! You're getting WAY ahead of things. How do I get my purple grapes to turn green? First things first.Was reading recipe in a newspaper and one of the ingredients was frozen green grapes.. At the end of the list of ingredients was the following;

I thought "peach shrub" was a euphemism.You may not feel "stupid" but you do lose man points for making a drink that has "peach shrub" in it.

“I have a map of the United States... Actual size. It says, 'Scale: 1 mile = 1 mile.' I spent last summer folding it. I hardly ever unroll it. People ask me where I live, and I say, 'E6.”Makes sense.

One Second After is an interesting book about an EMP attack on the US. Things would get ugly quick.

Hey snarky boy..... I love the smell of the paper. And getting ink all over my hands is awesome. Plus, I feel so good about myself when I box it up, load it into the car, drive to the drop off point, and recycle it IN THE RAIN!
Now stay the hell off my lawn, you whipper snapper!

I read through this whole thread to ask you to check the date on it to see if was printed this century, but this post killed it.----
