Mental Mind Stuff

We all know the jokes starting “Waiter, there’s a fly in my soup…”. It wasn’t funny, however, for Andrea Svensson, to whom it actually happened in an expensive restaurant in Gothenburg, Sweden. The young lady was out for a romantic dinner with her fiancé but the evening took a sour turn when she actually found a dead fly floating in her $30 starter. “It was horrible,” said Miss Svensson, 27, “I was so close to putting the disgusting thing in my mouth before my boyfriend spotted it.” The diners, understandably not happy, delivered the cliched line to the nearest waiter. The waiter made the situation worse by thinking it was all a joke and simply laughed and walked away! “Sounds like a joke I know, but it wasn’t funny at all.” said David Tomas, Andrea’s boyfriend. “It was a real breach of good hygiene and put both of us off our meal. When they didn’t take us seriously it just made me more upset.” In the end they had to get hold of the manager of the restaurant, who, upon seeing the insect apologised and offered the couple dinner at no charge. This offer was hurriedly refused by the pair, who were by this stage not feeling so hungry any more and decided to leave.

Joking aside, any restaurant knows how big a health and safety nightmare this situation could be. The hot summer weather naturally attracts insects, especially in a food preparation area, and installing a low cost insect killer is an absolute must in any commercial kitchen. This particular restaurant however, not being used to hot days in the Swedish climate, didn’t have one. “This has never happened to us before – we are aware of the importance of making sure it never happens again,” said the head chef. “We do take hygiene very seriously in our kitchens, and actually have an air purifier already to trap airborne viruses, as well as air conditioners throughout the restaurant.” Hopefully there are other restauranteurs following this story who will heed the warning. Reputations have been shredded in the past on incidents such as these. Even worse than the damage to reputation is the prospect of a visit from the dreaded health inspector, which can in extreme cases get the business temporarily closed down.

The benefits of Trivia and Challenge games

Trivia and challenges games are meant to expand you mind and broaden your mental capacity. Here in America, we have succumb to the innovation and implementation of technology to speed up our lives and simplify our existent. But at what expense?

The expense is our limited use of our own thinking. Years ago, I could recall every single telephone number of all my friends, my prior phone numbers of past housing accommodations and the women at the local bar.

However, I entered the world of Cell phones and caller ID. With that technology, I stopped recalling phone numbers, and relied upon the cell phone contact and the Caller ID menu for recent phone numbers. My mind gave way to the technology. It figured, It didn’t need to remember these simplistic digits. There was a backup. So my mind didn’t store the data.

Bad Mind. I have been invaded by the dumbing down of society, called technology.

I knew this would happen. I should have heeded my own warnings from grade school. Yes I memorized my multiplication tables, and even won school prizes for speed and accuracy. But then there was Junior High. There was the calculator. My Mind said “COOL”, there is a backup. The Brain dumped that information into cold storage. The cold storage section of my mind was introduced to BEER in College and that section of my mind was terminally emptied.

Awe BEER.. but I digress.

We need to expand our minds, we need not rely upon the technology implemented for speed and accuracy, but rather as a true backup to our most valuable asset. Our Brain.
We attempt to exercise and eat healthy, but do we exercise our head? Do we explore, expand, or just allow the wasteland to slowly disappear into oblivion?

No I say. We need to stand up and fight for our Minds with creativity, sarcasm, wit, games, puzzles, the History Channel and TLC. Our Battle is long, but the victory is ours for the taking.

The spoils of our Mind Wars are great. Ingenuity, invention, decisions, the cornucopia of our existence.

Humm BEER!!

Do I have my Guinness for tonight’s episode of Lost? Got to run to the store I guess.
