Developing a vaccine

I read quite a bit and I watch lots of movies. If you've read a couple of my post, you have come to realize that, but thats a head's up if you haven't. One of the funniest scenes of a movie is in "The Witches of Eastwick". Apparently the devil (Jack Nicholson) visits a quaint small town where everyone knows everyone and things are good, except there are three beautiful lonely women (Cher, Michelle Pfeiffer, Susan Sarandon)who, while sitting around one night describe the perfect man. Being the deceiver, the devil shows up exactly as that man. Well as all men learn women are far beyond the very definition of complex. The three women learn the tricks of the trade (spells and such), and turn the tide on the devil. You have to see it to appreciate the Hades, the devil is put through to reach the point of the the scene I am speaking of. So the devil is at his wits end, having been blown into the vestibule of the town church. He turns around to a building full of parishners who of course have heard bits and pieces of goings on in his big house on the hill. They stare at him in astonishment and he begins a soliloquy about women. He ask the group who looks and listens in silent shock, "I want to ask you something. You all go to church. Do you think God knew what He was doing when He created woman? Huh? No shit. I really wanna know. Or do you think it was another one of His minor mistakes like tidal waves, earthquakes, FLOODS? You think women are like that? S'matter? You don't think God makes mistakes? Of course He does. We ALL make mistakes. Of course, when WE make mistakes they call it evil. When GOD makes mistakes, they call it... nature. So whaddya think? Women... a mistake... or DID HE DO IT TO US ON PURPOSE?"
Jack Nicholson adds great physical comedy to it. He then goes on to say, "If it's a mistake, maybe we can do something about it! Find a cure! Invent a vaccine. Build up our immune systems. Get a little exercise. Twenty push-ups a day...and you never have to be afflicted with women, ever again!"
I posted that to get this point. Wouldn't it be nice if we could decipher which things we HAVE to go through and the things that we can just let pass. You know you find yourself headed into something and you stop, pull out your Blackberry or Smartphone, google or bing the situation. It tells you that this particular situation will earn you, your famous sense of humor and you decide to continue. Next time it tells you this situation is why you will have a twitch in your left eye the rest of your life. I don't know about you, but I'd pass up that deal. As the devil above suggest how about a vaccine or hazard sign for stupid things. For example your friend has no man, you tell her about the one you know, and next thing you know...well a hazard sign would have certainly helped. You pass a slow moving granny on the road and that's when a cop comes out of no where...imagine being immune to those guys! I can think of so many situations where a little heads up would save days, weeks, months and in some cases years of, "DID HE DO IT TO US ON PURPOSE?" Yeah Daryl I wanna know the same thing.
