Plus, her voice drove me up the wall.

THE MENAGERIE THAT IS THE HUMAN FAMILY

When in high school, my father dated a girl who went on to be one of Scarlett O'Hara's sisters.

Like the man with his family dining on the patio who told the waitress he needed one of these.
That required her to walk all the way across the patio, completely through the restaurant, and to the back of the kitchen to get one, then the guy used it to scooped out his slice and then proceeded to eat it with his fingers.

Anybody want to explain that to me?

PEDAGOGIC ITEMS

Unalaska: The Town Full of Bald Eagles
The bald eagle may be America’s national bird, but for the small Alaskan town of Unalaska, this majestic bird is little more than a pest. They lurk above telephone poles and stop lights, watching for potential victims to sweep down upon, litter through trash, and steal grocery bags. But mostly they wait for the fishing boats to return with the day’s catch since fish is the bald eagle’s staple food. So during the fishing season, hundreds of eagles come to scavenge and nest in the area, creating a nuisance for the local people. The eagles guard their nest fiercely and anybody appearing even remotely as a threat is attacked mercilessly.

Vasili Arkhipov, the Only Man in History Who Could Actually Say He Saved the World.
In 1962, Vasili Arkhipov was second in command on the Soviet submarine B-59. They were near Cuba for the purpose of protecting any Soviet vessel from US aggression as they headed for Cuba. This was in October, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, where the US had already identified nuclear missiles were in Cuba and blockaded the island country. The Soviets were preparing first strike possibilities in Cuba in case of a war with the US, and their submarines were also equipped with nuclear torpedoes in case a war started. 11 US ships and an aircraft carrier located B-59, and in an attempt to force it to the surface, began to drop depth charges.

The sub B-59 was cut off from Moscow and had no way to receive communication being so deep avoiding the US ships and depth charges. Believing they were under attack because WWIII had begun, the captain wanted to fire a nuclear torpedo to avoid being sunk and hit many major US ships at once. On B-59, unlike other Soviet ships, the 3 head officers had to unanimously agree to fire a nuclear weapon without orders from Moscow. The captain and the political officer were ready to launch, but Vasili Arkhipov refused, despite heavy pressure, fearing it was a drastic decision to make without any confirmation a war had really started. His reputation, especially from his actions aboard K-19, allowed him to sway the captain to the surface and receive proper orders from Moscow. This action prevented a nuclear WWIII.
