I view it very differently. I have friends who out of the blue have decided they are gluten intolerant. Last year it was something else. Year before that they adopted an in-fashion disorder.

I had a brief brush with something that sounds a bit like delusional parasitosis, many years before I was finally diagnosed with OCD, when I was probably at my absolute lowest point. I was convinced I had a plantar’s wart on the bottom of my foot, and if I just kept digging, I could get it out. I sat there for what…

This one's good, no doubt, but nothing they've ever done made me laugh as hard as the end of the first one:

I dunno......there's something about that little astromech that really bugs me.....

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

I don't understand the allure of this at all, but more power (Nintendo Power!) to him if this is his thing.

I have twin 18-month-old boys. We have a night vision camera in their room that we can check on our phones, computers, etc. The problem is at night the image is all black and white because of the night vision. My greatest fear is checking the camera and seeing my boys doing something like talking to or playing…

Ha! I've heard this one before, but you told it better!

I was tempted to just write this very true story that happened to me:
