3. My WTF moment.
Washed my face, threw the wash cloth in the toilet, wiped my nose, carefully folded the paper over the wash rack.

I went back to bed and assumed the fetal position.

4. About a month ago, I woke up, took a shower, got dressed and got ready to go to work.
Then I realized I was up three hours before I needed to be.

My wife had a good laugh over that...

6. I once went to work on a Saturday
I forgot to turn my alarm clocks off so I got up and went into work and found it odd the parking lot was really empty.

Turns out it was Saturday. Fortunately I only live a few miles from work.

5. I hope you didn't brush your teeth with Preperation H
if you did just crawl back into bed and take a sick day.

8. LOL
I did something like that once...not with Preperation H, but with Dr. Hauschka cleanser...luckily it wasn't THAT bad - it was made of almonds. ;)

And no, I don't have the excuse of being hungover - just tired. :)

Cruex jock itch cream on his toothbrush, and then put it in his mouth. True story.

11. Maybe 11 or 12 years old at summer camp and I pulled one of my upper inner thigh muscles.
.
.
.
.
Went to the dispensary and was rubbing Ben-Gay into the muscle when I was
distracted and I rubbed some on where I did NOT wanna rub some on.
.
.
.
The two counselors there could not keep from HOWLING as I raced around that cabin
as bow-legged as possible to create as much breeze as possible.

15. I never, ever, use sugar in coffee
Two weeks ago my wife was inverting sugar for our hummingbird feeder in an identical saucepan as the one I was heating water for my coffee. I poured her clear concoction into my coffee pot. What a shock! I thought I was having a stroke, or something really serious had happened to my brain.

17. Did your arms start flapping at 50x per second?

IMHO, the best "first-date" place in Tucson is the Tohono Chul Tearoom -- part or the
49-acre privately-owned Tohono CHul Park (named one of the World’s Great Botanical
Gardens by Travel + Leisure and listed by National Geographic Traveler as one of the
top 22 Secret Gardens in the U.S. and Canada -- yes... this is in TUCSON!!!)
.
.
Great brunch-type food (I don't believe it's open for dinner) and a plethora of native
flora and fauna. The outside patio is a comfortable visiting place for hummingbirds,
which will often come to your table and hover a foot or so away from your face
making sure you're happy with your meal. Or something.

18. Beware, brother, beware, that hummingbird may be Big Brother keeping tabs on you
It's a bird! It's a spy! It's both

Backed by the Pentagon's research arm, Monrovia firm AeroVironment has developed the Nano Hummingbird, an experimental miniature drone that could one day do reconnaissance by landing on a window ledge.

A pocket-size drone dubbed the Nano Hummingbird for the way it flaps its tiny robotic wings has been developed for the Pentagon by a Monrovia company as a mini-spy plane capable of maneuvering on the battlefield and in urban areas.

The battery-powered drone was built by AeroVironment Inc. for the Pentagon's research arm as part of a series of experiments in nanotechnology. The little flying machine is built to look like a bird for potential use in spy missions.

The results of a five-year effort to develop the drone are being announced Thursday by the company and the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.
