Me too, but it's "Shock the Monkey" which doesn't make sense in this context.
I have had similar conversations with my wife a few times, but I'm the one with working color vision.
It is a simple mathematical fact that if you get married one year and have twins the next, your household will contain over a million people within 20 years.
Not exactly a surprising result. How exactly is "gambling is fun" supposed to reduce gambling?
You obviously don't have kids. You can't trust a child's judgement because they don't have the experience to exercise good judgement. Your job as a parent is to look out for them while helping them develop.
Glad it's not just me.
With the battle-axe, sir, with the battle-axe!
A high percentage of fatal poisonings in the US have been Southeast Asian immigrants because, in the button stage, the North American death cap looks nearly identical to the paddy straw mushroom they know from home.

I used to write my undergrad history essays in rhymed couplets because I figured the grad assistant doing the grading would be grateful for a break in the monotony and it was faster and easier than writing an actual…
This is how it usually goes--it's vanishingly rare to retain a photographic memory into adulthood, but it's not that rare in kids. I had it too, but then I started sprouting hair in places that never ever got cold and…
$6K on mine, 17 years and counting. How many more of these anecdotes do we need before can call it data?
I wish my lone internet-of-shit device worked well enough to participate in a botnet. My house came with an internet connected sprinkler system--if the power blips, the sprinkler system boots up before the WIFI router,…
Worst case of this is online reviews at Home Depot. Every review is five stars even when the text is something like "it spontaneously combusted as soon as we brought it in the house and killed one of my children."
