In 7th grade, watching Voltron after-school on Channel 50 in Detroit, I discovered a wonderful scientific thing:
If you eat Chef Boy-R-Dee ravioli and drink orange juice, your burps smell exactly like hot dog burps.

Jerry, I think he's going for the two..

Augmentin, a super antibiotic, makes your pee smell like the pumpkin guts from carving at Halloween.

Buddy jan sent this story from his current adventures in UCLA's MBA program:
I was told this story by a career counselor, Matthew, who works with us at
school.
He was recruiting people for investment banking jobs in Hong Kong, and
part of the interview process for i-banking is a "pressure interview"
where they try to push your buttons to see how you deal with tough
negotiators.

They look through your resume for things you may be defensive about, and
ask you pointed questions about them.

So this interview happened to be the lead pilot on the bombing run to kill
Qadaffi back in the 1980s. He'd gotten out of the military and was
looking for a job in investment banking.

So they sit down across the table, Matthew pulls out the guy's resume, and
the first question he asks is...

"So you're flying over Libya in the dead of night in a multimillion-dollar
aircraft, loaded with bombs, on a top-secret mission to kill Qadaffi. And
you MISSED. Why should I hire you?"

He said the guy told him to f--- off. He gave the guy the job.

Zac and Penny got Joy and I hooked on Firefly, a great scifi series from the Buffy producers. It came and went too quickly due to FOX handling it as badly as their reality show contestants treat the family name back home. Rent it and dig it. It's very easy.

Literal odds on this guy being the next Bond.
