I've danced a million miles to this song...high, of course.

I once had the cops called twice because I was playing that version of that song too loudly.

I've had some experience with such things. My school, like most US schools, have advanced placement (AP) classes for the brightest of students. But there were parents who demanded that their child be placed in AP even though they didn't qualify. They were warned that if and when their child flunked it could taint their educational experience for the rest of their lives. Those parents would counter with the argument that 95% of AP students go to college and they wanted their child to go to college also.
Most of these average students were allowed in the AP classes only to fail. Most hated school after that.

Most of you didn’t even question if turtles would make great ninjas. You just believed it. I should’ve known then we’d end up where we are.

Don’t adopt a puppy to see if you’re ready for kids. Adopt a homeless guy with diarrhea & a bunch of stories that don’t go anywhere.

My wife was annoyed because the fridge was beeping, I’d left the door open too long while looking, in my defense I couldn’t find my keys anywhere else.

Climate Change protest done right...

Yesterday, 20 women D-locked themselves to the railings outside Parliament. They put their bodies on the line, bearing the message of the consequences of a 4degree world, asking why the Government can’t "bare" the truth of the climate emergency.
