There are a couple of guys at my local salon who get their nose hairs waxed. At first, they are all grumpy because their SO has dragged them along and “Just TRY it, honey, it’s not that bad”. Then they get hooked, and come back regularly.

Many years ago at the group home for developmentally disabled teens where I worked there was a resident who really, really wanted to go to the best steak house in the city for his 18th birthday. He had behavior and anger issues, but was determined to earn that birthday dinner, and he managed it. So another staff…

Jon, you were brilliant, erudite, and just plain awesome. You shamed Congress into passing the 9-11 responders health care bill, you fed Tucker Carlson his testicles on Crossfire, and you gave birth to brilliant talent....John Oliver, Steve Carrell, and Stephen Colbert among others. You will be missed buddy. Your…

A coworker of mine was violently allergic to Red #2, she got really sick from it when she was a kid. Tomatoes also do very bad things to her.
