The Curse 01.11.16


            Most everyone who knows the Ford’s, also knows of the Ford curse. For that one person that may not know of the Ford Curse, we will happily explain, what it is, and how you may contract it.
            To be exposed to the Ford curse, all one needs to do is to eat a meal with anyone from the Ford family. I should also state, once you have been exposed to the Ford curse, the curse will attach itself to you, and follow you for the rest of your life.
            In some recent studies performed at, “The Ford Homestead for Lower Education”, it has been discovered that there is more, than one Ford Curse. The study has not determined how many Ford Curses there are, but the study did establish, there are two curses, identified at this time.
            There was a family discussion of the recently found second curse, during lunch this past Saturday. My first wife and I had lunch at a local restaurant with Dave, Claire, Gabi and Alex, in celebration of Dave’s upcoming day of birth, Jan. 12th.
If I tell you how old Dave will be, it might make my spouse of 46 years sound older than she really is. I can tell you that Dave is the younger of two sons, his older brother Patrick, has a birthday this month also. Patrick will be 45 this month, and is 4 years older than Dave.
The first curse, for that one person who doesn’t know, goes something like this. “Any time a member of the Ford family partakes in food, and anyone else who eats with a member of the Ford family, someone will get a food stain on some part of their clothing”.
This curse, once activated, will reoccur each and every time there is food eaten. If you are eating alone, the curse will present to you, regardless of what you are eating. When eating in a group, someone in the group, and some times more than one person in that group, will have a presentation (aka, food stain on some article of clothing). At this time, there is no known cure!
As bad as the first curse is, the second curse may be more agitating. I should warn you, the second curse seems to be activated by the first curse. In other words, it is somewhat like chicken pox and shingles, if the first curse has you in its grip, the second curse is already there.
The second curse occurs when you are doing something like, washing dishes and you have soapy water on your hands, or working on a car where you have grease all over your hands. It can happen when you have something in your hands that you can’t put down.
If you are in any of the above situations and your nose, eye, ear or other part of your body starts itching, requiring immediate scratching or rubbing, you have a manifestation of the second Ford curse. This curse will likely occur multiple times after the first presentation!
On behalf of the Ford Family, I would like to apologize if these curses have impacted you personally. The scientists at The Ford Homestead are not working on an antidote. 

“Curse not, lest ye be cursed!”
Don Ford
