I kind of expected these to have aged worse. Some are solid - if a little obvious in modern times - advice.
And then there are the others... At least some of them are humorous; show them to your partner guys i'm sure she will appreciate them. Even if she is just a wife π«
I showed it to my wife and she laughed a bit too hard at the "devoid of colour sense" part.
were you wearing purple and green at the time?
Hey, the joker pulls it off!
Yeah, but he's also a homocidal maniac who comits mass murder.
Man, color theory is intense.
Private healthcare bankrupts millions and causes tens of thousands of unnecessary deaths?
Nobody bats an eye...
But if I, a man, wear purple and green highlights in the makeup on my face, the dye in my hair, everybody loses their minds!!!
All you have to do is ask society to wear a mask to protect from a virulent virus, and these people will eat each other.
if you don't have the confidence to be at least a little bit of a homocidal maniac and commit a little mass murder, you gotta follow color theory
Eh, pobody's nerfect
Which is what makes him even more appealing. The splatters of blood which I assume he then has would go great on a face painted white.
...does he, though?
He do.
Do you have a joker outfit too
Best I can do is the crazy smile, does that help?
They're a lot better than a similar list would be in the 50s.
Yeah, itβs not that these are bad. Itβs that many people of the time needed to be told these in the first place.
Many people today need to be told these...
I wanted to show my wife, but she didn't meet me on the threshold! I had to search the house for her!!! The horror...
My wife is the one unhappily devoid of colour sense, so I'm sure she'd get a chuckle out of it. Meanwhile she's the one with two doctorates sharing her work problems with me because hey, I may be just a husband, but I can listen good a'd understand stuff!
Nah but it's a nice list, honestly. Their heart was in the right place and that's what matters.
