The Sharpie
I usually start my day off by catching up on the news. I have been giving myself some days off from this habit recently because having to hear the latest antics of the orange buffoon can really ruin my day before it gets started.
I did not give myself today off though...so my lovely coffee is tainted with irritation and true astonishment at the idiocy.
“No one will notice if I extended this image with a Sharpie, right?”
“Of course not, Mr. Trump.”
“Whatever you say, Mr. Trump.”
“No one would question you, Mr. Trump.”
“You can do whatever you want, Mr. Trump.”
I learned a long time ago that a good leader surrounds themselves with people who are different from them...people who have different opinions than them. I learned it from a great mentor...and I employ that tactic to this very day. It has served me very well: helped me to avoid mistakes, challenged my thinking, created better plans and products.
But that is not why we are here together today.
I got to thinking about Sharpies and how often they are NOT used for good...
Eyebrows
Lip Liner
Beard filler
Bathroom wall art
Hurricane map alterations
So...in an effort to school the children, here are the proper uses for a Sharpie
Labeling moving boxes
Giving autographs
Drawing on paper (draw on paper, not on people - unless you are getting a tattoo)
Labeling containers for the fridge or pantry
Addressing packages for shipping
Creating a protest poster
Suggested topics include
The need for gun control
Equality
Fair wages
Women’s reproductive rights
Healthcare for all
Voting!
Protecting elections
NOT putting people in cages!
To sum up...
A Sharpie is not makeup.
A Sharpie can be used as a labeling tool.
A Sharpie is not for lying about a hurricane in an effort to make a previous lie not a lie...which is a lie...
Just sayin’
