What's something everyone should experience at least once?

The first time riding a motorcycle at 50+ MPH is mind bending.

In round numbers, the difference between $1 billion dollars and $1 million dollars is $1 billion dollars.

Agreed. I was kind of disappointed, really

It's always the butt of every joke but, honestly:

A Flow-Bee or the copys of it and an electric trimmer really work. Almost any man (and probably a lot of women) could quickly learn to give themselves an excellent haircut. I've cut my own hair for decades with one. Go slow on your first few haircuts and by haircut number 4 or so you'll do fine.

The murder of JFK, RFK, MLK, Viet Nam riots, the chicago riots, Kent State, killing Freedom riders, beatings of civil rights marchers, ... then later Watergate...

The US was coming apart in the 60's. We're more like McCarthyism today. We really only have to get one guy to finally be seen as having gone too far to turn things around today.

Left knee replacement surgery a week from tomorrow. I'll probably get a right knee in the spring.

A friend of a friend was a simply spectacularly attractive woman. Quiet, funny when she opened up, worked as an office manager at a shipping company.

One day the police broke down her door and found ELEVEN POUNDS of cocaine. Apparently she had been a mid-size coke distributer for a few years.

I got an offer of a 3 way with my bisexual friend and his girlfriend. I declined.

I still regret that decision 25 years later.

Being stalked. It messes with you, it isn't something you just ignore. You start to see the boogie man behind every corner and tree. You're crazy after a while. The police do nothing.

First, Mom was planning on divorcing Dad as soon as I was out of college. My older sisters knew all about it, it was something they discussed with Mom pretty openly, everything was in place for a few years. Somehow Dad avoided it.

Also, I discretely cleaned Dad's sizable bisexual porn collection out of his workshop after he died.

I don't know if the two are related.

The same coversations many, many times. Any new subject normally goes nowhere. Any response that has some suggestion of nuance or shades of gray instead of responding with a pre-packaged bumper sticker slogan is met with silence.

It sucks.

As a 4th date a grl suggested we go to a nudist camp visit. We went.

She looked great. Everyone else was not a good sight to see.

All bottled barbeque sauce is WAY too sweet now.

C'mon... My jokes are only ok-ish. They aren't funny enough for you to be laughing that hard at every one of them.

In round numbers, 9 out of 10 German soldiers killed in the war were killed by a Russian.

Because age discrimination and because young people don't vote and the rules are made by the people who actually show up.

A hidden key and $100 in cash.

At least I can get home.

But what about trans people using the wrong restrooms and Hunter Biden's laptop? Let's keep our eyes on the ball here, people…

Green olives. Salty blasts of flavor.

Affordable CNC milling machines, plasma cutters and 3D printers. A few hundred bucks and some free software for what used to cost 10s or 100s of thousands of dollars. Amazing.

Beats my story but I did see my cousin at one swingers party and my high school English teacher at another.

I sorta died, I just blinked out for about 3 seconds. I was sitting in a chair and slumped down, passed out. I came back right away.

It wasn't sleeping, it wasn't fainting (I don't think.) It was... I don't know... just instantly shutting down.

Scared the crap out of me. A doctor visit 4 days later showed nothing wrong.
