I do that at night. I don’t want to turn on a light (and have my eyes adjust) to aim, and it’s quieter (learned from having a room-mate). ---

My hobbies last summer consisted of perfecting whisky-based drinks with tools I found around the house and grinding an old tree stump to mulch with a splitting maul. True story. ---

I can write my name in the snow. (Oddly enough, I have heard women boast about that more often than men. For women, it is a difficult challenge.) ---

I can understand why a public-restroom urinal might have a housefly painted onto the back of it. (true story: I was once traveling with my mother and a female cousin, and we were going through JFK airport. I used the facilities, and saw afore-mentioned painted fly. I’ve always had a great appreciation for clever ideas, and so when I came back out, I told my traveling companions about it. “It’s, um, a reminder to zip up your fly?”) ---

Having been in the odd men’s room I assure you that’s was not my first thought about why a fly was painted there. I hope you noticed the scrubby hands sign over the sink.😌 ---

They have a room specifically for odd men? Probably crowded. ---

I own several pairs of cargo pants. I wouldn’t buy new track pants that don’t have three pockets. ---

I have a bunch of identical socks. That way I never have to worry about finding a match. If I have two socks I have a match.
