WARNING:TRANQUILIZERS NOT ALLOWED!

One of my most favorite guilty pleasures, is the tanning bed. I love it! I know it is bad for you...and can cause skin cancer and all that jazz! I got it! I know...but I am still going to go! I have gone for YEARS...however,in all the years I have been going...I have never really paid attention to the WARNING posters they hang inside the booths. I mean I know it says something about who to call if you get injured or have a complaint. And some other OSHA poster...about reasons you might NOT want to tan. But yesterday I happened to be changing back into my clothes, about to leave when a certain word on the poster caught my eye. I stopped with my shirt half on, leaned forward, and blinked to focus...was I reading this right? Does it say...does that say....doe,ohhh my gosh! That really says:


HMMM? REALLY? Of course this got my wheels going. The whole way home, I contemplated, the events that lead up to TRANQUILLIZERS being printed on a tanning bed warning poster! First of all...who is in such a bad state, that they require a tranquilizer, and yet still find the need to catch some rays? I mean, priorities PEOPLE? Just seems, sorta logical to me, that if you are on tranquilizers...you don't need to operate heavy machinery, ie: the car to get to the tanning bed and you probably have enough on your plate, that TANNING won't be anywhere near the top of the list...or shouldn't be.ANd if for some reason you are STUPID desperate enough to go...something tells me that little beep at the end of your allotted time isn't going to wake your tranquilized-self up! And PLEASE don't tell me you have a person to drive you there and carry you in and out!I don't want to know there are two people as STUPID ignorant as you in one city! ENABLING MUCH? Now, while all of this seems like common sense to me. There has GOT to be a reason they took the time to put this on the sign. There must have been some FOOL, who decided that they were going to do this! ANd some DUMB tanning attendant who allowed it to happen! I can see it now. Hospital band still on, pushing an IV pole up to the "TAN DEPOT" , "Mayyyyy I pleashh hab a taaaaan???"(that is my best drug voice...typed out,you like it?) Falling into the walls, and inevitably getting injured, on the way to the room. Then after struggling to get into the bed under the influence of a tranquilizer, laying there and passing in and out of consciousness and reality too. I would imagine that after about 30 minutes, the Tanning attendant would be banging on the door, "Ugh ma'am you okay in there? Your time was up 15 minutes ago," Finally, said FOOL would drag him/herself out to the lobby stripped red and white all over from rolling around while "sunning", fall out the doorway, and eventually make it back to her car, where she would put herself and everyone else in a 15 mile radius in danger! Two days later Tanning Depot receives a letter from Burnt-up, tranquilized Fool's attorney!
And that is the story of how TRANQUILIZERS made it onto the otherwise "normal" lists of warnings!
