For some strange reason, elbows on the table is seen as ruder than farting at the table...

Not too long ago, I was watching Family Feud, and upon hearing the question, "Name something a person does at the dinner table that's considered rude," was surprised to see "Elbows on the table" as the top answer. It was ahead of, "Burping," "Farting," "Talking with your mouth full," etc. Really? Seeing someone with their elbows on the table is more rude than letting nasty odors spread about the room via a fart a person has been holding in for a while, and a burrito finally provided the final punch for the the nastiness to fly? Right... I can really see the following two conversations occur after a first date:

Post-first date conversation #1

Grace Amazin: "So...? How was the date?"

Mary Samsonite: "It was going okay at first..."

Grace: "But..."

Mary: "But, while I was still eating, he put his stinking elbows on the table! How rude!"

Grace: "Wow! What nerve!"

Mary: "I know. I just don't think I can see him again. That's just - that's crossing the line right there!"

Grace: "You can do so much better!"

Mary: "Thanks. I think so too." ::sighs::


Post-first date conversation #2

Grace Amazin: "So...? How was the date?"

Mary Samsonite: "It was going okay at first..."

Grace: "But..."

Mary: "But, just after we finished eating, he let out this huge fart!"

Grace: "Really? Wow. Was it pretty nasty?"

Mary: "Yeah. Thankfully, I brought some Febreze along, and was able to diminish the stench some."

Grace: "So, that's probably it then, huh?

Mary: "Maybe. I don't know. I mean - it was just a fart, you know? Everyone does it."

Grace: "That's very true." ::farts::

Mary: "Ha-ha. Yeah - you see? Everyone does it!" ::farts::

::the two giggle::

Mary: "Yeah, I think I might give him another chance."

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
