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...

The difference between "looking" and "checking out"

I may be way off with these numbers, but it's my approximation that at least 75% of individuals whom are involved in a serious relationship feel it's perfectly acceptable to "check out" members of the opposite sex they're not involved with. Meanwhile, approximately 25% either don't feel this is acceptable or aren't sure about the matter. I hadn't thought about this matter for a while, but since I've been dating a woman for about 8 months, the topic has been pondered about some. When reading or hearing others discuss this very issue, I often times hear comments similar to the following: "It's human nature to look." "There's nothing wrong with checking others out. I'm sure he/she does it too!" "It's fine to do it. Just don't tell your boyfriend/girlfriend about it or do it in front of them!" "It's natural to find people attractive." When observing the array of comments, I i...
