Our kitchen was wired by a moron. 2 lights, 4 switches. but split up on 3 walls for some reason. If all 4 aren’t in the right position you can’t have both lights on. Flip one, one light goes on, not the other. Flip another, they reverse. Another and nothing happpens. It’s like some stupid, obnoxious puzzle out of a video game so you can progress. I know what to do but no one else here seems to, so they leave the lights on however they land, and I have to go around the damNED kitchen flipping switches on three walls just to get the lights on right.

ROFLMAO!!

“In my house there's this light switch that doesn't do anything. Every so often I would flick it on and off just to check. Yesterday, I got a call from a woman in Madagascar. She said, 'Cut it out.'” - Steven Wright

Until you reach a "certain age" when you will get the odd rogue eyebrow hair that pops out an extra half inch overnight. And let us not talk about the ear hairs...

I think I am already at, or approaching, that age. I did not mention ear, or nose, hair on purpose. Eyebrow hair is not a problem yet.

You really know you and your wife have reached a high level of comfort with one another when she reaches over and snags an inch long ear hair out of your ear lobe.

Well, as long as it is your color when she examines it, I guess you'll be OK...

I can guarantee it was for a switched electrical outlet that someone did not rewire correctly when they replaced it.
It's highly common for someone not to break the tab on the hot side of the electrical outlet so the switch doesn't do anything even when the person wires the electrical outlet since both outlets always have power if that tab isn't broken.
Management is just being lazy since it would require opening up every electrical outlet in your living room to find the one that should be switched.

A friend worked at the local steel mill as an IT-go-to-fixer kind of guy about 15 years ago. He once found an old dusted over PC from the eighties that periodically used an old modem. Nobody had any idea what it did, and there was no documentation. Turned out the machines it was supposed to talk to were disconnected ages ago. But nobody at the other end had dared to disconnect it!

How do rockets keep from hitting debris when they enter space?

Another question to ponder:

Do directors and actors know when they are making a really crappy movie or are they somehow oblivious to it since they are not objective external observers?

Space is big. Very big. Even with 10k or more bits of debris in orbit the odds of hitting any is very slim.

Well it will drive you lot crazy in the UK where up = off

LOL @ light switches!

The house we rented in Georgia had the "mystery combination" bank of three switches. At one point it pissed me off and I re-wired them to knock it off.

Our house here has a "useless" switch in the living room that took me awhile to figure out. It's for the light on the ceiling fan, if we ever put in a ceiling fan with lights on it.

Back on topic:

As a man, if I grow my hair long and gather it together in one single large strand in the back of my head, I'm being cool and masculine. It's in no way a pony tail that makes it look like I'm trying to be fun and perky.

But split it in two and put them on the sides of the head, and suddenly it's pigtails and somehow unmanly.

Why do we drive on a Parkway, but park on a Driveway?

Why do City Planners use "Boulevard" in street names? No one remembers how to spell it correctly, and even the street signs shorten it to "BLVD"

Why do we have toothbrushes and not teethbrushes?

I heard it was becuase it was invented in Maine and people there only have one or two teeth in their heads to begin with. World sure is a complicated place.

LMAO Pugio. I'm waiting for NH2112 to post his thoughts.

I apologize ahead of time for my racist viewpoints. There I go trying to pingeon hole whole groups of people again.

That’s an old joke here.
Q: how do you know the toothbrush was invented in Maine?
A: because anywhere else it would have been called a teethbrush.

But my favorite is:
Q: what do you call a pretty girl in Maine?
A: a tourist.
