Emergency Information
Jan 28, 10:22 PM
I took the above photo whilst bored out of my brain during a shift at a Spearwood shopping centre.
I found it mildly amusing (perhaps more of a reflection of how bored I was, rather than a reflection of the actual comic value of such an object).
Being situated right next to a fire hose, its actual purpose was no doubt to inform people what do to if they were currently involved in an emergency situation………..but I still find this comical.
There is a fire burning down the very building you are standing in…. and you reach for the box that says “emergency information” rather than the fire hose next to it. I wouldn’t be surprised if inside the box there was a sign saying “Use the hose you idiot” or “You are officially a retard”.
But then my mind wandered a bit further and started taking the “emergency information” context away from a physical emergency…and into a situation where you REALLY need a certain piece of information. And that no matter what situation you were in….this box would hold that information.
“My battery is flat… what’s the number for the RAC?”
Check the box.
“I’ve lost my SON!!! WHERE COULD HE BE??!?!”
I’m sure the box would know.
“My best friend has been chopped in half by a giant circular saw in a lumber mill and I don’t know what to do”
Errr.. that’s messed up. Box.
“The earth is about to explode and I need to know where the closest hot chick who will be willing to have sex with me is!!!”
Fair enough. Look in this box……and then let me know!
“How do I post an entertaining blog on my website?”
Sorry man. Can’t help you there.
