Experts say that everything you do online could potentially haunt you forever. If that’s the case, I have put myself in deep trouble this week.<\/p>\n
We are in the middle of rehearsals for the upcoming production of \u201cSin, Sex & the CIA\u201d at Hanover Little Theatre, and I volunteered to help find an important prop.<\/p>\n
We need handcuffs. You’ll have to come to the show to find out why, but we I promise that you will laugh when you see why we needed them.<\/p>\n
At first, I thought this was a pretty simple activity. I have helped chase down various props for several other productions. We have loaned items from our house for set decorations. That’s just how it works in community theatre.<\/p>\n
But this one carried a risk I had not anticipated when I started searching on Amazon for handcuffs.<\/p>\n
First of all, to put it delicately, a lot of people don’t buy handcuffs with a theatrical production or law enforcement in mind. I knew this going in, but those kind of \u201crecreational\u201d uses jump right to the top of the search listings.<\/p>\n
That’s not why we needed them for the play. I promise.<\/p>\n
So once I stopped giggling over handcuffs covered with fur, I started to take a look at the reviews from people who had bought the ones that looked normal.<\/p>\n
Some of the comments came from people who had bought the item as a child’s play toy. But some others came from adults who seemed very eager to share just how and why they needed handcuffs and how this particular item worked.<\/p>\n
Now I’m all for consenting adults doing what they want to do, but I really don’t see the need to share that information online, especially when some of the reviews used what seemed like real names.<\/p>\n
I moved past that, however, and did a little more research. When I saw a pair of handcuffs that looked OK, but might not have fit our needs, I checked the section below the item where it tells you what things that people who bought this thing also bought.<\/p>\n
Once again, I did not need all of that information. But now I am worried that some of the ladies wearing the \u201clingerie\u201d that some people paired with handcuffs may catch a cold. It really didn’t cover much.<\/p>\n
Once I re-gained my composure I went ahead and bought the handcuffs we needed \u2013 without any additional items that might shock anyone in the audience.<\/p>\n
As they made their way through the shipping process, I started to worry a little. If anyone ever gains access to my browser history, what would they think?<\/p>\n
I just needed handcuffs for fun, not for any nefarious purpose. I didn’t mean to click on any links that may have led to something unseemly. I’m a curious guy. You can’t help but wonder what other folks are doing.<\/p>\n
I promise I only bought the handcuffs, and we only need them to make you laugh. I guess you’ll have to come out for yourself to make sure I’m telling the truth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
