I donāt know why, but a nurse just called me dude and I about died.
So braveā¦
In one of my classes, we were talking about the dunning Krueger effect. I brought up lifters as an example
Prof: āyou liftā
Yes but you have reached the āvalley of despairā so itās only up from that.
I was at the shoulder doc and I told him I hadnāt been lifting hard or heavy.
He said well I canāt tell because you are still huge and look like you press houses.
I needed that doc more than you will ever know.
A teenage blonde girl had been talking on the phone for about half an hour, and then she hung up.
Wow! Said her father, āThat was short. You usually talk for two hours. What happened?ā
āWrong number,ā replied the girl.
Ha! I love that.
And can sort of identify with it. 
In a few areas that I am passionate about, Iāve figured out I am not very competent, Iāve worked on addressing those areas, but alas I am still there.
My venture into playing drums in a thrash metal band has me pretty gloomy at least a few times a week. Especially when the guitar player shows me how to play something on drums. He is way better than I am.
Just triggered an odd bit of trivia. There used to be devices called fire grenades that were filled with some substance which was supposed to explode & snuff out fires when heated above a certain temperature.
Nice research! But what about the fan? Are you supposed to blow out the flames? A blowjob so to speak (i believe we are in the right thread here).
Now the only imagery I can muster is a bunch of muscle twinks running into a big flaming building, hoses at the ready.
Iām gonna go do some manly stuff now. Like uh, welding an ax to a gun then chopping some wood with it while my supermodel girlfriend looks adoringly at me.
Not chuckle worthy but since you mentioned itā¦
One of the ladies I help (sheās 93) has these mounted all in her house. I am terrified of them! I cannot possibly imagine what kind of chemicals are in there. 
A traveling salesman sold them to her family back in the 40s or 50s.
Thats one of them!
Iām surprised it wasnāt set off by one of your sunny summer days down there!
