Things I've Learned

Lessons from the first 35

 
As I approach the mid point of my expected life span, I have decided to make a list of "things I have learned" over the years. Hopefully, these lessons will make my trip down the back 9 a little less stressful. Enjoy, and as always, please feel free to comment on any obvious oversights I may have made.

  No useful mail ever comes from Wilmington, Delaware.
  No useful mail have ever originated out of Wilmington, Delaware. The only mail that comes out of that place is sent by the Capital One's of the world.

  Regular mustard is basically free.
  While the product is dirt cheap, people are apparently willing to pay for the dispenser. As a result, a recent audit I performed at Schnucks turned up eight different dispenser styles.

  Just a splash of root-beer will make your whole Diet Coke taste like root-beer.
  Whatever it is that makes root-beer taste like root-beer has the ability to permeate an entire Diet Coke with just one splash.

  Stale Food
  Some foods just taste better stale. fig newtons, bread pretzels, marshmallows

  Ringtones
  Trust me, nobody else wants to hear your "special ringtone".

  Closets and Garages
  No house, regardless of size, has enough closet or garage space.

  Funny
 

Right when something is "no longer funny" is when it begins to get really really funny.

  Black Tie
  Don't try to fake it with a dark suit and white shirt. When an event is labeled as "black tie", they mean WEAR A BLACK TIE! Either go rent or buy one.
   
#1
  Yelling at the TV
  Until scientifically proven otherwise, yelling at the tv during a critical shot, pass or kick CAN have an effect on the outcome.

  Car Alarms : Nobody pays any attention to or is deterred by your car alarm.
    Batteries : Just go ahead and buy the bigger pack. You'll use them eventually.
    Beef Jerky : Never eat it before noon.
    Subway : When you can't decide what to eat, just goto Subway.
