An abundance of caution

I love this phrase. Officials for new President Barack Obama are using it to describe why the Oath of Office was repeated last night at the White House over concern that the muddling of words during the oath at the inauguration could lead to legal issues. As soon as Obama paused I knew something would come up. I thought Fux news (not a typo!) would say that this slip proved Obama's terroristic tendencies as he was unable to commit to the red, white and blue (“his middle name sounds funny, he's a witch!”, “Burn him!”).

This story got me thinking of other times/situations that require an abundance of caution:
1. Eating whilst driving, a) it can be dangerous, b) nothing is worse than having half a Whopper Jr fall in your lap (yes a Whopper Jr, the Sr is too heavy for road trippin').
2. Ironing clothes while wearing them. It's not big and it's not clever!
3. Watching the end of any episode of a reality TV show, specifically the “on next weeks show” part because it usually tells you EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS NEXT WEEK! So that you don't actually need to watch (maybe that is the point?)
4. Approaching Britney Spears. Don't believe the comeback hype she is still as crazy as a rabid wolverine on Mountain Dew!
5. Putting your johnson back in any pants with a zipper, particularly when you are drunk. Numerous circumcisions are performed by accident this way every year.
6. Doing heavy lifting after a large lunch.
7. Swimming at the beach (look out for rip tides, sharks and used condoms).
8. Playing with fire, unless you are an arsonist in which case play on.

If in doubt just think what would Jesus do?...
9. Don't piss off the Romans with your preaching and that.
