      Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

          Doesn't the UK still weigh in stone (14 pounds)?

              Not officially. Many of its people still use it for their own purposes, but their gov't records are all metric now.

                I know whenever I happen to see "You Are What You Eat", they're always using stone to describe weight.

                    Luckily there is an easy way to tell the difference. AM. PM. I mean, its not rocket science.

                      It's long. It's annoying. It's much easier to use 24 hour time.

                            My first real gear grinder with my new job: I work for Tyson Foods, Zeeland plant, as a tank washer. These big steel bins are filled with raw meat, emptied in other departments, and come to us in tank wash to be cleaned, then retrieved by other departments.

                            Well tonight, nobody came to retrieve these tanks. All of us in tank wash went to break, and no one came to get the tanks. We ran out of places to put them. All of us got fed up and left early. If we can't work...

                              You send someone an email saying, "would you please answer two questions?"

                              A few days later, you get a reply, to one of them.

                              and so you need to send another email saying, "what about the other question?"
