digitaldisciplineIt's a rare day when I see an email forward that is both new-to-me *and* funny. My dad passed one along this morning that fit the bill, though.
1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die
2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.
5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
6. Was learning cursive really necessary?
7. MapQuest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.
10. Bad decisions make good stories.
11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.
12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blu-ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection... again.
13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.
14. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
15. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
16. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay.
17. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.
18. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
19. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?
20. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front... Stay strong, brothers and sisters!
21. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
22. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
23. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time.
24. The first testicular guard, AKA "the cup," was used in hockey in 1874; the first helmet was used in 1974. That means it only took 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important.

In the hood, it is probably Steel City, FYI.
17. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.
One time I drove through a neighborhood in Baton Rouge, LA, that had me pulling my rifle out of the case I had it in. Seriously, it was THAT shitty.

#5 - there's a youtube video for that
#6 - yes!
#12 - oh come on. most people never did LD, and went from tapes to DVD which was a huge step. blu-ray isn't that big a step, and there's zero reason to ditch your DVDs cuz they won't look any better in BR format, except for about 12 movies which are STELLAR (and you need a large HD screen to really appreciate it, and surround sound! also a comfy chair of doom ;>) so, restart collections? puh-lease :)
#14 - oh my yes ;>
#15 - some do now. the dishwasher now, there's a thing. cabinets. some car hoods! toolboxes! (heck, some have ipod connectors!) ...

And I'm glad I learned cursive because it made my printing legible. Calligraphy is what gave my handwriting style.

Also, yes especially to #7, 14, 18 and 19!

So yes, you can, but there is a mysterious trick to it. :)

This is why it never left me.
Incidentally, you fold fitted sheets by tucking the corners into each other.
I usually fold it along the shorter axis, tuck one of the corners I brought into contact into the other, do the same on the other side, fold the result in half once more, and tuck one pair of nested corners into the other. The result does not look like a perfectly flat rectangle, but it works and prevents the fitted sheet from getting all tangled up with the others, because the corners are all consolidated, self-contained, and have less room to grab part of an adjacent item and create problems. *beams*
