Positive Reinforcement

I've had this blog idea bouncing around in my head for a number of days, so let's see if I can spit it out.


 I firmly believe this world would be a much better place, if we all ran on the "Positive Reinforcement" model.  Some examples would be-


"Excuse me, fine citizen.  Do you know why I pulled you over?" 
"No, fine officer, why is that?"
" Well, I saw that you were the only fine citizen not driving like a drunken monkey through the construction site.  Here is a coupon for a free ice cream cone. *wink wink*  Carry on fine citizen!"


At the doctors office-

"Well hello, fine patient of mine.  I see that you walked in here with your severed head in a bag and didn't demand pain meds.  Here, this is a script for loritab.  Take two of them with a shot of vodka.  Send yourself on a little mini- vacation without even leaving your living room." 
As opposed to "Hello crack head patient of mine.  I see you are demanding anxiety meds because your neighbors dog won't stop barking.  Here, this is a script for "Suck it up sweetheart" and a gun permit.  I think you know what to do."


At the school

"well hello fine parent.  I see that you are the only parent who hasn't called to harass me about homework, lunches, my shoe size, and my middle name.  Here is a free pass on having to sign the 400 parent forms that I will be sending home in the next 2 days."
" well thank you, fine teacher of my child."


Seriously, the world would be a much better place if they would only put anti-depressants in the water system like they do fluoride!

We either laugh or.......we shoot the neighbors dog.
