Our neighborhood had large community mailboxes and my dad would always make me walk down the street to get the mail. One day there were some older kids outside and they started squirting me with water-guns. I got home and told my dad and he asked me to show him where the kids were. When I did he yelled at them saying, “don’t squirt my mail!”

The sad thing is I though he was talking about me, as in male. It wasn’t until years later I realized he didn’t give a crap about me, he was mad his mail got wet.

It’s by far not be the most narcissistic thing my dad did, (that would be beating the shit out of me for not wanting to go to church because it made him look bad). But I think about it often because I want my kids to know they are the most important thing to me, and I never want to say something that would make them think otherwise.

It’s really just a small pinch of salt that comes out

I have a BUG-A-SALT that attached a laser sight on. It can take out a fly from a few feet away. And it makes it fun.

I was in the US Air Force and stationed in England. If someone left their ID out we would hide it or freeze it in a block of ice. Your ID also happens to have your social security number on it. One of my coworkers left her ID on the table and when I grabbed it to go hide it, I noticed her social security number was only a couple of numbers off of mine. The first 8 numbers were completely the same.

For those not from the US, our socials are 9 digits long. The first 5 digits of your social security number indicates the part of the country you were born in. The last 4 digits are assigned from 0001-9999.

It turns out we were born in the same hospital 1 day apart, and met halfway across the globe 20 years later.

Some of my favorites

Amharic - ይማርህ - May God forgive you

Makes it sound like sneezing is seen as a punishment

Kyrgyz - Ак чүч! - This may be based on an onomatopœia of the sound of a sneeze, like the English “Atchoo.”

This is basically what my autistic son does, so it made me laugh

No explanation needed for these last two

Serbian - Pis Maco - Go away kitten

Silesian - Pyrsk! - Cheers

He ain’t got nothing on Scott Sterling

I’m saving this thread to show to my wife later. She was mortified that I let the cable guy into our house with dirty dishes in the sink. And I’m not talking about an overflowing sink. I’m talking about 2-3 plates and maybe a couple of forks.

Blue Powerade slushy from Sonic on a hot summer day is the GOAT

I saw a really good demonstration of this once, but I can’t seem to find a video of it.

Basically imagine a rubber tube with 4 balls equal distance apart from each other.

–0–0–0–0–

If you stretch the tube from both ends all of the balls move an equal distance apart.

----0----0----0----0----

There is no one ball that is the center or the starting point. However if you focus on one ball while stretching it will seem like the others are moving away from it. But in reality they are all moving away from each other at the same rate.

Confederate battle flag had flown outside San Francisco’s Civic Center since 1964 as part of an 18-flag display intended to symbolize the various stages of American history, according to contemporaneous news reports.

In case you are like me and wondering why there was even a Confederate flag flying at San Francisco city hall.
