If an esteemed historian can “radicalize” your wife by telling the truth, maybe you’re the problem.

The others sent Ringo a heartfelt telegram:

“You’re the best rock’n’roll drummer in the world. Come on home, we love you.”

When he got to the studio, his drums were surrounded with flowers.

“I felt good about myself again.
“We’d got through that little crisis and it was great.”

He took a little vacation: “I had a rest and the holiday was great… I realised that we were all feeling like outsiders, and it just needed me to go around knocking to bring it to a head.”

Then he told Paul the same thing:

“Paul said, ‘I thought it was you three!’”

Ringo didn't check in with George: he knew that he'd hear the same response.

The dog needs medication twice a day, and turn her pill bottle upside down in the morning upon receiving the first pill, and back upright when getting the final pill.

I'm wondering how widespread practices like these are, or if it's only a result of having nerds in the household?

For example, when one of us feeds the cat in the morning, we leave a spoon next to her bowl on the dryer. When she's fed at night, we remove it. That way, she doesn't scam extra meals from us. Which, of course, she attempts.

How does that work? Because it’s the citizens of the state who are paying income tax to the federal government. It’s not like we give it to our state to give to the federal government. And if we don’t give it to the federal government, the IRS comes after us.

Don’t get me wrong. I’d love to see it.

We may be a long way from the Nuremberg trials, but we're shockingly close to the crimes that they prosecuted.
