FRIDAY #5665

 One Of My Very Own

PART ONE

^^A1^^

I read that if a person with a lobotomy held a cup behind their back with their left hand then he could name it but would have no notion of its function. Held in the right hand he would know what it was used for but not what it is called.

^^A2^^

^^A3^^

I still hold with the old rule that if you are not hurting anyone then you should be able to lead your life any fucking way you want.

^^A4^^

I've watched that movie at least a dozen times.

I found Cousin Eddie's sweater hilarious because I once owned one of those - I think they are called dickies.

^^A5^^

^^A6^^

People demand answers and if it's unexplainable they will just make stuff up. That's why there have been thousands of religions and each and every one of them thinks they are the only one who knows the "truth". I on the other hand do not demand a reason for my existence because I find it hilariously absurd.

^^A7^^

Something you don't see every day...

^^A8^^

^^A9^^

There was only one married guy in my boot camp barracks with me and he once made a face of disgust when someone mentioned going down on a girl. I found that astounding at the age of 18. 

^^A10^^

PART TWO

FOOD PREP
===

Everyone should experience working in a commercial kitchen even for a short time.

I learned a lesson in a kitchen that I managed to adapt to handling nuclear weapons. In a kitchen, there is a rule that whoever is carrying something has the right of way - meaning everybody else gets out of their way. But in the military, the lower-ranking person was required to get out of the way of a more senior person. So during a meeting, I suggested we change that AND THEY DID!

^^B1^^

^^B2^^

It really came in handy during covid. 

And old people actually need it.

^^B3^^

I have seen restaurant people literally fall out of a car onto the ground, struggle to stand, and then work a 10-hour shift.

^^B4^^

^^B5^^

^^B6^^

^^B7^^

^^B8^^

PART THREE

^^C1^^

And there is only one reason for that and that reason is to separate you from your money.

^^C2^^

Too late. Capitalism is the religion of worshipping money above all else.

^^C3^^

Considering puddles, rain, and bathing I would have thought the monitors would be waterproof.

===
^^C5^^

Guilty.

^^C6^^

Strange, we keep being told the economy is doing great.

Depends on where in the world you live, it's not the same all over.

Ankle monitors are waterproof. The level of resistance may vary depending on the brand type.

^^A2^^ Not from a lobotomy, that just fucks with your emotional and executive functioning. What this is describing is what happens when the Corpus Callossum is severed, This is a huge bundle of nerves connecting the left and right cerebral hemispheres, enabling communication between them. One side of the brain knows the words, the other side knows the things. I once worked with a guy who'd had his severed by shrapnel in Nam. Smart as fuck, but weird quirks.
