That I am NOT a rock and I can't be expected to be one for everyone when I don't have one myself! I'm not as strong as everyone seems to think I am.

I learned that even though it's tempting to stay in your PJs and not groom yourself while working from home, inevitably that's the day your mom and sister will show up unexpectedly to see if your toddler son is awake from his nap so they can play with him.

Miller beers don't skunk because they don't actually use real hops. They use a non-skunking hop extract. This allows them to sell thier beers in clear bottles, which would normally result in skunking. Too bad it still tastes like crap....

I learned that I need to write down where I park if I don't want to spend at least 10 minutes in a parking lot walking around like an ***

?Que palabra?

In Spanish classes here in the states, they often teach us that the word for jacket is chaqueta. In many, if not most South American Countries that is the word that they use, but here in Mexico (or at least Mexico City) they use the word Chamarra instead. The word chaqueta means, well, I can't say what it means, but let's just say that it isn't good.
Thankfully I didn't have to find out the hard way. While tutoring a man in English we were talking about jokes that use a play on words, and he brought that one to my attention.

Hot ash will burn when it hits the top of your head where you used to have hair.

My wife found out that no matter where she sits she is down wind of the fire.

I learned the reason that I've been dragging my lower leg around with no muscle control is because the surgeon had to rebuild the muscle on top of the femur (the quad?). However, he forgot to tell anyone else, so my physical therapist has been having fits over it for no reason.

I learned that the spot on my left upper arm is cancer, a basil cell.
