It Was Free, So Naturally It's Worth $40,000
Two financial principles apparently govern the American household. The first is that anything advertised as FREE must be acquired immediately, regardless of whether we need it, want it, or can even identify what it does. The second is that anything we’ve owned for more than twenty years automatically becomes a priceless antique.

I Asked for the Time and Got a Colonoscopy Report. Also, What's With All These Hats?
There are two things in life I genuinely don’t understand. First, why some people cannot answer a simple question without providing a complete medical history, family genealogy, and a detailed account of something that happened to their brother-in-law in 1987.

I Just Wanted Toothpaste... Now I'm Responsible for Deforestation.
There was a time when purchasing toothpaste was a relatively straightforward operation.

Never Talk About Religion or Politics... Unless Your Name Is Mud
Don’t chew with your mouth open. Don’t ask a woman when she’s due unless you can actually see the baby emerging. And never, under any circumstances, discuss religion or politics at a social gathering.
