Things You Misunderstood At First

I used to think LRT’s were driven by robots. Maybe it’s because the voice over thingie telling you the next stop is the same voice. I don’t know why they don’t let the drivers actually announce is themselves. It might make their job less boring. They could spice it up or something.

ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLRIGHTLY FOLKS!! Coming up in about 36 seconds we will be at The Bay Enterprise Square station! Make sure you have all your belongings, and please enjoy this hot summer sun!

I used to think that all liquids had water, and that’s what made them liquids. Then I found out about vegetable oil and water not mixing.

Did not know this.

For years I couldn’t understand how the bottom left part of my shirts would have a rip or tear in them. It was two actually, one about an inch above the other almost horizontal, very distinctive. My mife who was my gf at the time knew what caused it but would’t say shit just give me that look that say’s “fuck your dumb but cute” and say," oh you’ll figure it out someday".

The light bulb went on one afternoon when I grabbed a bottle of beer and went to open it.

Motherfucker? NO WAY? FUCKING TWIST OFF CAPS ALL THIS TIME! FUUUUUUUUUKKKKKKKKK!

That is what I screamed at my young, innocent six year old son who was minding his own business watching cartoons on the couch at the time of my epiphiny. I forgot all about it untill just recently when he brought it up in a conversation the little prick lol.

You have no idea dude. My buddies fishing camp is loaded with em’. I personally like the fact that it’s a bitch to own a gun here lol.

Here in Taiwan the only beer that is twist off is Budweiser and the bottle is uncommon here…it’s mostly in cans. All other bottled beer still needs an opener.
Anyway…when I twist off the top of a Bud here I look like the strongest, coolest dude ever.

Based on your stories of the “men” in Taiwan’s gyms, you ARE the strongest and coolest by default.

I love you so much.

I need to to leave your house for about 6 hours today so that when you come back I can surprise you with a new sun deck that I will build while you’re out.

I ain’t into that Devil’s Threeway.

I know…you can hold the camera.

I grew up in a rural area and generally taking a piss outside was no big deal, just find a bush etc… When i entered kindergarten however it was never really made clear that finding just finding cover wasn’t sufficient that was a no go so my first day of recess i had to take a piss so rather than asking permission to go to the bathroom i just found a bush to piss in which earned me a ass beating when i got home.

At some point when I was little, I assumed that a “dog pound” was a place where they took stray dogs and killed them in a “pounding machine”, which I pictured in my mind as being a large, metal piston (although at the time I did not know the word “piston”).

When I was little, I thought that the company that made Fab laundry detergent had a product developer or researcher named “Dolores”. The jingle started with “They’re always doing something new with Fab, it’s true …”; I mis-heard that as “Dolores doing something new with Fab, it’s true …”.

Derek already has a job, and perhaps his department would have some type of use for some of those canines.

When my friends and I were in grammar school, we would look in cars at the speedometer to see how fast they go. I was always confused how a piece of shit Ford Grenada could go as fast as 120 but a Camaro could only do 85. We’d argue about whose dad had the fastest car using this foolproof method.[/quote]

I remember that! My father had a late 1980’s Lancer with a digital spedometer. Upon startup, it would read “188” because the last two digits could be any value 0-9, of course. I thought he had the fastest non-race-car ever. He tried to explain it to me over and over but I told him it could go 188 mph.

When I was a child growing up on Long Island, NY, I knew there was an island off the coast of Greece named “Ithaca” before I learned there was also a town in upstate New York named “Ithaca”.

One day my grandmother told me that her neighbor was going to Ithaca. So I asked, “Is she going by plane or by boat?” My grandmother told me she was driving there. I was surprised, and started trying to picture how one might drive from North America to Europe. I asked, “Is there a bridge?” My grandmother responded, “there is a bridge, but she’s going to take the tunnel”. Now I was flabbergasted. “There’s a tunnel!!??” (My grandmother was talking about a tunnel under one of the waterways in or around New York City, on the way from Long Island to Ithaca in upstate New York. I was thinking the tunnel would have to go across the Atlantic Ocean, on the way from Long Island to Ithaca off the coast of Greece.)

Somehow, we eventually got it straightened out, and I found out there is an Ithaca in upstate New York.

When I was a kid, I thought the word “trespassing” was “trustpassing”. People would use the word and it sounded like that, especially when spoken rather quickly.

I was probably around 10 years old when I finally saw a sign with the word on it and figured it out.
