TBH I'm a lot more familiar with his hits than hers.

I just picked up my car from the shop. The billing lady looked at the invoice and *winced* visibly as she handed it over.

Maintain eye contact while you eat to establish dominance.

I took my kid for a vaccine, and she subsequently talked me into buying expensive ice cream. VAERS!

My favorite is when you write "GI bleed secondary to NSAID induced ulcer" as the diagnosis and answers pop up warning you that "THIS PATIENT IS ON NAPROXEN WHICH IS CONTRAINDICATED IN ULCER PATIENTS"
Yeah, thanks.

Might I recommend show jumping? A sport in which males, females and the surgically neutered all compete on an even field has no room for transphobia. And any snobby poshness is counteracted when a competitor craps on the field unashamed in front of everyone.

Do you go up to, um, neurosurgical height, though?

I don't do this but I'm sometimes compelled to quasi translate words back and forth to create new terms. Like I'll offer my kids spider butter because beurre d'arachides=>beurre d'arachnides.

Although actually protein requirements for distance runners are pretty insane. You get so catabolic...

Better yet, do the update *on closing.*

I need to use the program NOW, and 90% of the time the update isn't crucial to what I need to do.

I think I saw Mast Cell Mediator opening for EmbΓΆlus when they were more of a prog-metal act.

It's literally required that the TRUNK be openable from the inside in case you get locked in there. Having the DOORS meet the same requirement though...

My country literally has a king and there is no pardon power (well, there is a process to seek a pardon years *after* you've completed a sentence, which removes the criminal record from the police database, it's very different).

Turns out it contains too many fingertips from the children who grate the cheese for 12h/d in the factory.
