Don't even need to say whether I'm CIA or not.

Our therapist said that my wife using parental controls on my laptop to stop me from being able to search for "custom torpedo bat manufacturers" online was deceptive, controlling and not right. Unfortunately they did also agree that as I don't play, I don't need a custom bat.

Japanese sea captains are only allowed to marry Japanese citizens. This is one of the three major reasons I am not yet a success. Along with, of course, my troublesome uncle who broods in Malta with his confidants, and the bad blood my role in the 2008 financial crash caused.

Recently witnessed a young man watch a clod of earth be washed away by the sea and utter "Europe is the less", he then continued "similarly each person's death diminishes us all as mankind". I didn't dare tell the man this was a major occasion of parallel thought, he seemed so proud.

we need a president who is in bed when their roommate leaves for work and is still in bed when they come home but feels like they have to make up a really implausible sounding lie about what happened in between so it doesn't sound too pathetic

As a founding member of both Legion For Men Given To Relaxation and of splinter group Legion Of Loyal Men Given To Relaxation I fully and totally disclaim the new Vigorous Legion For The Loyal And Relaxed. There has been exactly enough division already, these young secessionist punks should relax.

I would love to have a run a health spa in the past. Have rich men and women not drink alcohol throughout the day and rather have some clean spring water, and lightly exercise and bathe and then claim that their feeling slightly better was due to the strange proprietary tea I was giving them.

Some lady was explaining to me that the local lesbian bar with the "Ladies Drink For Free" sign on the window makes all its money from logic and reason bros who go in to investigate how they make their money. But that doesn't sound right, she must be mistaken, so I'll have to go see for myself.

Guys, we've got a pretty big guest this week! (Someone who was vaguely or even actually previously known for something other than being a collector and podcaster. Possibly a non-criminal, but non Rosenbaum, Smallville actor, or a wrestler [not one of the two big ones though, we'd mention that])

Ah Lady Montswartz I see you are taking well to our brew, it's definitely not being away in mountain air from your awful husband and the sherry rich gilded vivarium your sex and status demands you live your life in, no it is the peppermint that is bringing you such vigour!

The worst part about having a minor gas leak in your home that you refuse to fix due to an ongoing, morally justified, but nonetheless sexually charged, dispute with your neighbour is that it really colours how people judge your takes. They're prejudiced against new ideas you or your cat suggest.

I have to start telling people I don't like it when they start conversations with me at work by saying "Hey, Babe" and ruffling my hair or fixing my tie. I've let way too many people make it a habit, and obviously they're grandfathered in now, but it can't be happening any more than it is already.

I think many working age people are lucky to have relatively limited interaction with healthcare overall. Certainly almost no one uses healthcare often in several different countries. So all they know are their own experiences of inefficiencies or problems. Hard to have true perspective.

The major issues of large generations getting getting old, providing rural care, and balancing modern breakthroughs that are expensive with better basic care which helps more people when money is limited are true for many systems. But you got to not know the US system at all to not know it's worse.

The baron said that all loyal warriors would now grow wings and fly, to provide us supremacy over the land. Those that refused to sprout wings or questioned the baron's lack of wings would be thrown off the north side of Mt. Baron. Those loyal will jump off the south side, and then soar.

I was a low-level courtier in the orangutan King Louie's court. He kept me around because he liked the status of having a human subject, but I wasn't respected because I couldn't make fire, I thought I knew how, but I didn't. I was also no good at jazz, no musical talent.

Being a bisexual emperor must be the most stressful shit in the world. You go to the inner palace and your wives are scheming. You go to the outer court and the male concubines that you promoted to viziers are fighting. Your wife just poisoned your favorite twink eunuch. There’s no peace

Professional golfer Robert "The Big Decent" Carter has managed to retain his PGA card for an unbelievable 42nd year. The 64-year-old, who has not won on tour since the 1997 BMW Championship, says he hasn't liked the sport for decades and would quit if his "daddy allowed it".

Probably one that is a little random, or an opinion I mumble, due to food in my mouth or other reasons. I'll need to think about it, but GREAT question.

Famous for saying he is "cursed". The son of Louisiana's second largest Burger Franchisee Dickie "Papa" Carter, Robert was a keen Ultimate Frisbee player in his youth, but chose a more lucrative career in golf at the behest of his father and his first, and later his father's third, wife Laurene.

Having two different family members of your aged neighbour tell you the old broad "had a bit of a crush" on you at the funeral, and being visibly pissed off about missing your chance the remainder of the ceremony and week.

Girlfriend made me write "Just because you meet a horse with no given name does not mean it is necessarily the one from the song, do further research before paying for a photo." twenty times on the whiteboard she uses for mood boarding.
