Actual Safety Tips: "Cell-dom use the phone while driving"

So, at my job (where we deal with construction) we have the most fastidious safety consultant. Because of his knowledge and expertise our work sites are up to OSHA safety standards, all of our employees are safer, and we’re well equipped to deal with emergency or dangerous situations as they arise. His company also sends a weekly newsletter including the Safety Tip of The Week. Each Monday, this two or three page document thoroughly discusses the intricacies of one topic (Carpal Tunnel Warning Signs, Water Safety, Don’t drink and Walk (seriously)). This week was Cell Phone Safety. He discusses the dangers of talking on a hand-held phone while driving (which I think should be illegal everywhere), and then has some tips to follow if you DO have to use the phone. Here’s my favorite:

5. Do not make emotional phone calls while driving (quitting
your job, breaking up with a boyfriend or girlfriend, etc.) as you will be
focused primarily on the call rather than your driving.

I picture the scenario as going something like this (inner monologue)

“. . . milk, catfood, ziplock bags, go get a haircut. . .what else? Oh, I might as well call John and dump him while I’m out and about.”

Just strikes me as funny, as things are wont to do.
