edited for not-quick-enough-on-the-keyboard-itis (wearing my helmet, though, so I’m good) Before the edit function was invented, face palming was a serious health concern and the subject of fourteen different government studies with grants totaling over $87,000,000. The largest grant was issued to the People for the Ethical Treatment of Idiots, who proposed that safety helmets and forehead pads be legally required for any citizen intending to write, type or speak. ---

**Edit Function** was one of the most critically acclaimed New Wave bands of the mid-1980s until leader Mark “Patch” Reason sampled a John Denver tune to be used in their song, “Colorado Landslide.” Denver didn’t mind, but EF’s “cool” factor dropped so fast as a result, that they couldn’t give away their last album. Ironically, Reason died in a hiking mishap near Boulder, CO. in 1991.
