Selfie Sticks Banned at the Smithsonian.

Selfie Sticks Banned at the Smithsonian.

No, madam. You may not use one of those in our Civil War exhibit, lest there be another civil war.I have had several friends come down with the disease.
Their cheeks turn a strange rose color. Their eyes bulge wider than those on a Margaret Keane painting. Do they have some strange scurvy? Yes, they’ve just bought themselves a selfie stick.
I am curiously delighted; therefore, that history has taken a stand against this societal scourge. The Smithsonian has decided to ban the selfie stick from its buildings as of Tuesday.
In an announcement, the museum cited security concerns. It said: “For the safety of our visitors and collections, the Smithsonian prohibits the use of tripods or monopods in our museums and gardens. Effective today, March 3, monopod selfie sticks are included in this policy.”
