Well, they certainly turn their invisible noses up at accepting those beastly uncivilized 3-pronged plugs.

Two-prongs are an elegant weapon for a more civilized age.

I’ve been reading this one wrong every single time and it causes me temporary panic. It’s plausible because it follows the form of a lot of title edits. One-clicking the potential panic away:

This one gets me: **[Why did my coflex bondage stop sticking to itself? Blister Care](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-did-my-coflex-bandage-stop-sticking-to-itself-blister-care/1004006)**.

I get to the part about bondage, think “hmm, this might be an entertaining and educational thread”, next comes “stops sticking to itself”, which _would_ be a problem, and now along comes “Blister care” and the brakes in my mind go “_Screeech!!! WTF??1!_” as it slams into reverse trying to make sense of this whole thing.
