Dumb Computers (Part 2)

Computers think they are so smart, but really they aren't. They're all the way to dumb. For example, my computer thinks I am obese. It sends me ads for plus-size clothing, and I am not plus-size. (I am, if anything, non-plussed size, if there is such a thing.)

This rumor got started a few days ago when I clicked on an ad showing a fat girl in a bathing suit. I was appalled by the image and had hardly had a chance to take it in, but then, as ads do, it went away. So I Googled "fat bathing suits" and found a wealth of them. Again, I was appalled. I mean I fully support fat people going swimming, but I think a degree of modesty might be in order at a public bathing spot. Anyway, enough about that.

Then today I Googled a line of clothing from a label on a shirt I bought a year ago from a second-hand store that I really like. It's one of my favorites, and I thought I would check out some of their other offerings. The thing is, the shirt is marked "S" and I never wear an S in anything, certainly not a clingy knit top. Still, I was surprised to find out that the brand is specifically a plus-size line of clothing. So now my computer got even more grist for the fat mill, if you will, and the fat ads are just pouring in.

I am not even going to tell it the truth. Ha!

Good Luck Donald!

Love him or hate him, you've got to admit that the return of Donald Trump to the White House is pretty amazing, all the more so because ...
