But you can buy a dozen or more incandescent bulbs for the price of one LED bulb. Or could when they were still “legal”.

Pressure cooker is only needed at altitudes above 7000 feet or so.

When you’re going in to a meeting with senior executives, take enough cheese for all.

My 1970 Datsun diesel pickup regularly gave me 35 mpg, and it would haul a humongous load. 60 HP, no turbo.

I’ve had a couple of absolutely wonderful shotguns out of Spain.

First line: you paid too much in withholding. Make sure - certain sure - you always owe Uncle at tax time. Never give the gov't that interest-free loan again. Never give the gov't the chance to hold your money, ever again.

I have a Henckels in the drawer, that I found under a prep table at a frat house. It was blade-only, and the blade had a big chip out about 2 inches from the tip.
