two things

At the ripe old age of four, while riding atop my fathers sholders on the return trip from the drugstore, my half sister Nell had an epiphany. She knocked on our father's bald head and announced " I've been thinking. There's two things. There's happy and there's sad and it pretty much all comes down to that." She was right.

terms of service /never have I ever

I've given thought, although I can't boast "much thought" because that would be a falicy, to actually reading the terms of service in any or all or maybe just one of the agreements that I blindly agree to when I set up a new interenet account on one of any of the sites that I visit and decide to join. I think they may all say the same things, but how would I really know, for after all I have never read even the first word of any of the terms of service(TOS) agreements that I have contracted myself to.

If forced to open a link in order to fool my computer into computing that I have read the TOS, then I will open that link and proceed to boldly scroll to the bottom of the page ( I have been called recklessly bold) in order to sign my name aka check the box labled I have read and agree to your TOS.

Will I one day be called upon to serve in a militia, eat fourteen pounds of uncooked okra, or sacrifice my first born in order to satisfy the TOS that I so plainly stated that I had read. Or is it common knowledge that no one has ever read or will read the TOS for any web service because in truth- we trust the fact that they have a TOS to mean that they are indeed an upstanding web service.

I think I will draft my own TOS for personal encounters and insist that when we enter into conversations( me and anyone) that a preliminary step to conversation for whomever I am speaking with is to read and sign my TOS and then we can begin trading words.

Me: please read an sign my TOS.
Them: what the F#*k is wrong with you?
Me: (sitting quitely staring at the person until they sign)
Them:(leaving)
