Can’t remember where I read this. It might’ve been here, but what the heck.
When COVID-19 lockdown measures were put in place in Finland, social groups were initially limited to gatherings of at most 10 people. When asked what he thought about that, one mayor responded that when the lockdown was over he’d be very happy to return to the normal Finish social gathering size of 5.

When she was little my daughter asked me, "Daddy, why are you drinking wine in the shower?" I answered her, "Because we're out of beer."
Same principle is why I'm always nice to the waiter out waitress. Well, not the only reason.Quote:

I was reading a thread where some of the guys are going at it a bit and it often seemed like one would question another's 'facts' and it brought this to mind.
James T. Kirk: Mr. Spock, have you accounted for the variable mass of whales and water in your time re-entry program?
Spock: Mr. Scott cannot give me exact figures, Admiral, so... I will make a guess.
James T. Kirk: A guess? You, Spock? That's extraordinary.
Kirk walks away;
Spock: [to Dr. McCoy] I don't think he understands.
Leonard McCoy: No, Spock. He means that he feels safer about your guesses than most other people's facts.
Spock: Then you're saying... it is a compliment?
Dr. McCoy: It is.
Spock: Ah. Then I will try to make the best guess I can.

I am just realizing that this only funny when it is spoken rapidly as one run on sentence so you can watch the kid try to keep up with it.
We have only two things to worry about: That things will never get back to normal, and that they already have.

The other day in the hall at work was a penny laying on the floor that everyone was ignoring.
I bent over and picked it up looked at it and put it in my pocket.
The penny was worth 1 cent. The time it took for me to pick it up I earned 10 cents.
Therefore I made 11 cents picking up that penny.
I just can’t for the life of me , not pick up a coin. The Irish in me would explode
I'm the same.
If it is money, I pick it up.
It’s not about the money. It’s about thinking how much by back is going to hurt when I bend over and wondering if I’ll straighten up afterwards.Quote:

If the cost would hurt me I just can’t, it would cost me mental health. If I walked away I’d be thinking about it for days! Maybe my mental health ain’t good to start with!
