Threat Matrix

I have a bad habit of flipping off inanimate objects when I’m irritated with them. And since I’m weird and like to chronicle random moments, I’m slowly accruing a small gallery of pictures of me flipping things off.

This prompted a friend today to tease me about it, asking me if I was going to flip him off over a joking remark he made. I happened to be at my desk at the time, waiting for a student who ultimately didn’t show up for her appointment… and since I didn’t feel like working on the mound of paperwork I have to do, I opted to do this instead.

This is a quick and dirty Microsoft Word version of the Homeland Security threat level chart. I would have much preferred Adobe Illustrator, but beggars can’t be choosers… and besides, I would have spent way too much time in Illustrator tweaking things, and I did have to do paperwork at some point.

Anyway, so in case you wondered what it takes for me to flip something off, wonder no further. :-)

(And for those who wondered, his remark only earned a threat level of green, or “Stony Silence.” Sorry Josh – you’ll have to try harder next time.) :-D
