We’ve Got Questions.  You’ve Got Answers

Time marches on and some things just become– well– obsolete.  The horse and buggy had it’s time, so did the typewriter and the rack stereo system.  And now, Canada has decided the Penny should join the list of things we no longer have use for.    The reasons?  They take up too much space, take too much time to count and most importantly, it costs 1.6 cents to produce each penny.  (read more at bloomberg.com)

Of course, this got us thinking…if we were going to clean house around the good ole U.S. of A., what dead weight could we get rid of?  Obviously we could start with the penny.

  • The desk or wall calendar. There’s plenty of devices to tell us what date it is. Now these paper ones are just for people who really like pugs or Betty White.
  • Maps. No one could ever fold one anyway. And what’s safer? Trying to look at a creased piece of paper while driving or listening to a girl robot voice telling you which way to turn?
  • Phone Books. Now their only use is for short people or kids to sit on.
  • Network Evening News. We’ve spent all day watching news channels. There’s nothing special about 6:30pm anymore Brian Williams!
  • The Can Opener. In this day and age, every can should have a pull top. Why in 2012, are we still opening a can of tomatoes like it’s the Civil War!?
Vote in the poll and then let us know what else we could get rid of?  Or if there’s any of these things you think are worth saving?
