We are family, MY company made $X million last year, if we all work harder this year we are hoping for $X+1 million this year.

(An actual statement made by a previous boss)

In Australia we have these or the packets, for take away. You don’t use them for dine in, we have larger refillable glass/plastic containers for that.

My brain just does that anyway, after decades of ads I just tune them out. And at home I use ad blockers.

In my early teens I got into scifi movies, so as a family we rented Barbarella. My mum had to check the vhs cover, she thought the video store had given us an adult film by mistake.

Walking my dog one day and met a random stranger also walking his dog, he bent down to pat my dog and his dog attacked mine, the stranger used his hands to pry open his dogs mouth and got bit. I took my dog to the vet to get stitches, and explained what happened. The vet informed me the best way to stop a dog biting down on something is to insert your finger in its arse, I have never had reason to use this knowledge so far.
