And when the person who invented the USB connector passes from this world they will lower his coffin into the grave then raise it and turn it 180 degrees before lowering it again.
 
An elderly couple had just snuggled into bed when the old man let out a loud fart and proudly announced, "Seven points for me!"

His wife, puzzled, turned over and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Grinning, he replied, "We're playing fart football."

Not one to back down from a challenge, his wife waited a moment, then let out an impressive fart of her own. "Touchdown! Tie game!" she declared with a smirk.

A few seconds later, the old man let out another one and triumphantly announced, "14 to 7! Back in the lead!"

Determined to keep up, his wife responded with another loud one, then quickly followed it with a squeaker. "Touchdown and a field goal! I'm ahead, 17 to 14!"

Feeling the pressure, the old man gave it his all, but things took an unexpected turn. With one big push, he went a little too far and accidentally pooped the bed.

His wife, wide-eyed, stared at him and asked, "What just happened?"

With a sigh, the old man admitted, "Guess it’s halftime... time to switch sides."
 
@Metanis, does she make a grocery shopping list like my wife: items in random order, written at random angles, then folded like an origami nightmare? My list is dated, ordered and folded neatly so it fits in the breast pocket of my shirt. :)

When it comes to dishwashers, there are definitely ways to load that work and others that don't. But when it comes to lists, it's definitely a "whatever works for you" kind of thing.

My shopping list has been in the Note Everything app on my phone for years now. I just go in to the "all" category that's I've built over years and throw the item I need back into "needed" status, so it shows up on the actual list used in the store(s).
 
Yes what ever works for list for yourself but don't give it to someone else and expect them to do it timely or accurately when it makes no sense to them.

Writing, regardless of the context, has to be done for one's intended audience. So I'm with you 100% on this one. You give lists to others in a format they can make sense of if you want them to do what you want them to do.

As a props master on many productions, I know this very, very well.

This reminds me of my Brother and his antics. He was a real clown at times...
Anyway...
He was in bed one night and apparently felt very thirsty, so he asked his wife to get him a glass of water.
Being like -5 deg C outside she refused and told him to get it himself.
Undeterred, he tried all the gooey lovey dovey stuff trying to get her to comply. She refused and and was starting to get quite irate with him because she wanted to sleep.

So he lay there quiet. Thinking. Planning.
All of a sudden he let out a silent but deadly fart! And waited...
At the exact same time as she smelled it he loudly proclaimed "Oh my God, I think I sh**t myself!"
His wife yanked back the covers and jumped out of bed yelling at him for being a disgusting child who couldn't
control his bodily functions...or words to that effect...

He just grinned and said "While you're up honey would you get me a glass of water....!
 

You know, I lived through this era, but as an employee, not a business owner. I don't know how in the hell businesses did this. I remember even modest systems costing $3,500, and that was in 1983 dollars! A quick check of the cpi shows that outlay is equal to more than $11K in 2024. And they bought lots of them! I mean, I guess it was easier to measure improvements when you are comparing doing things by hand on greenbar paper compared to spreadsheets (anyone remember Multiplan or Lotus123?), but really, it's amazing. Not to mention all of the training that had to be done!
