Mixed up metaphors?  How does something ‘flaccid’ cause another thing to be ‘torn to smithereens’?  Just curious.  People swelling up and asphyxiating from deadly allergies.  6 year old kids with head injuries. Shake it off!

Back when I was a kid we were getting our heads split open all the time and we was just fine!  Why, we walked 6 miles to school…uphill in the snow both ways!  Hey kids!! Get off my yard…! etc. etc.
