Reminds me of my buddy and I exploring remote mountain roads in my truck, in Northern California. From time to time we would come to some small town, which usually had a sign warning
SLOW
CHILDREN

We always wondered why so many towns had slow children.
I always liked the Three Stooges episode where they decided to fish because the sign said "Fine for fishing".

I recently discovered the word tourons which is a portmanteau of tourist and morons. I think this fits nicely in that category.

The same reason that Monday morning is the most common time to have a heart attack?

Yes. They occur most commonly in the morning, apparently due to blood chemistry changes through the night. But they also occur most often on Monday.

The researchers found there was a notable increase in the rate of STEMI heart attacks at the start of the working week, with rates highest on a Monday (a 13 per cent increase). They also saw higher than expected rates of STEMI on Sundays.

The exact reason behind this “Blue Monday” effect isn’t yet known. Past studies showing a greater likelihood of heart attacks at the start of the week have suggested a link with the body's circadian rhythm, which governs our sleep and wake cycles.

Thank you @renormalize and @Ivan Seeking I did not know about this...

Published 9 June 2023

According to new research presented at the British Cardiovascular Society (BCS) conference in Manchester, serious heart attacks are more likely to occur on a Monday compared to other days of the week.

The study, by doctors from the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust and the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, examined the records of 10,528 patients admitted to hospitals across the island of Ireland (including the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland).

These patients had been admitted between 2013 and 2018 for the most severe type of heart attack, known as an ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This happens when a major coronary artery, which supplies blood to your heart, becomes completely blocked. Without emergency care, STEMIs can be fatal.

Each year in the UK, more than 30,000 people are admitted to hospital with a STEMI. They need immediate assessment and treatment to minimise damage to their hearts. This typically involves emergency angioplasty and stent(s), a procedure to reopen the blocked coronary artery and get blood flowing to the heart again.

The researchers found there was a notable increase in the rate of STEMI heart attacks at the start of the working week, with rates highest on a Monday (a 13 per cent increase). They also saw higher than expected rates of STEMI on Sundays.

The exact reason behind this “Blue Monday” effect isn’t yet known. Past studies showing a greater likelihood of heart attacks at the start of the week have suggested a link with the body's circadian rhythm, which governs our sleep and wake cycles.

I've always thought that was true because I thought that I had read it years ago.

A host is a host from coast to coast
and no one will talk to the host that's close.
Unless the host (that isn't close)
is busy, hung or dead.
