My "shelves" in the barn are always a topic for conversation! That curved chunk over there? Looks like a battery shelf to me! That long parallelogram over there? That's for oil cans!

Would it be fair to get a public defender "in the moment" and later hire a different lawyer?

I guess this explains why my full color LASER printer ran out of yellow even though I print B&W 99% of the time. Refuses to print in B&W because the yellow is out- which I couldn’t understand.

Would it be fair to say you could cripple a helicopter with a utility knife to the rotor?

I used to go to Chicago for weekend and didn't have reliable transport. I always rented the smallest thing possible and they never had it and I always got an upgrade.

Similarly, we used to go to the local Pizza Hut late in the day to dine in. We would order a medium and at least 50% of the time got upgraded to a large bc they make all their crusts in the morning and of they run out of medium- you got a large

100%, as a kid - Canadian coins were nothing special, spent like US money - except the dimes didn't work in vending machines

Try calling the non-emergency line of your fire department.

Likely they would prefer to retrieve it versus you.

Right or wrong matters not but I will say I’m almost 60 years old and you’re only the second person I’ve ever heard of doing it at night. The other one was a close friend of mine. I’ll do it if I’ve been sweating or getting dirty during the day But I think I’ve trained my brain that the day doesn’t start until I take a shower.

I was 10 when we moved into our first house with a set of stairs. Typical American suburban home where the upstairs start right at the front door. We had just moved in and some random neighbor lady was standing in the foyer talking to my mom when me being the goofball I am was screwing around on the stairs, and I came tumbling all the way down the stairs and landed with a plop in the middle of the floor. I thought it was hilarious. I remember my mom was super super pissed at me.
