I can relate

I would change “they’re smart” to “they have common sense.”

To be a bit pedantic, Lee Trevino is not Mexican. He is American, being born and raised in the United States. He is of Mexican-American descent.

In college I took an upper level Shakespeare course in which we were broken up into groups to do projects to present to the class. My group decided to do the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet in different variations, including as farce and with Romeo as essentially a voyeur and a bit of a... well, pervert. (Cue Juliet on the balcony sliding her hand over her posterier and Romeo saying “See how she leans her cheek upon her hand. O, that I were a glove upon that hand That I might touch that cheek!") Add comments below, but yes, I played the part of Romeo. When we were done, the class got the opportunity to critique us. One girl went on a mini-tirade that the story is about true love, and it was appalling... etc... Our professor had a hard time keeping a straight face as he shut her down and set her straight. I got an A, along with the girl that played Juliet, because we did all the heavy lifting in our group, coming up with the ideas and working it out. Our professor then asked the two of us if we would be willing to go to a local high school to present to a couple of classes. All in all, a fun time. No, it is not a love story.

Got that

Must be Ohio.

That last part is the LAST thing I would tell Mrs. Doc, because it just might be the last THING I tell Mrs. Doc.

I would have liked to have seen him tell my Drill Sergeant that from Basic Training. First, I would have brought popcorn. Besides, I had never imagined such colorful and creative combinations of swear words as that man was able to bring together to flow so angrily yet eloquently. I've spent my adult life trying to emulate him.

I need to remember this! I usually use my old First Sergeant's line that there are no stupid questions, only stupid people asking questions.

You're right, I believe it should be dihydrogen peroxide uranium, but it's still funny. Edited.

I’d be like Hans Gruber at the end of Die Hard

While the screen writer says she died from HIV/AIDS, the original author says otherwise. In the book’s sequel, it states she contracted Hepatitis C, which was also unknown during that time period. That also further explains how her child and Forrest remain HIV free.

Since mine are in my garage, if any of those things happen, I have much bigger problems.

Egad. I'm not the neighbor and it bugs me!

I thought that was why you replaced your winter air with summer air.
