a nod to Nora
Some time back, Nora Ephron posted a list of 25 things that continue to surprise people. So I thought I'd do the same.
1. Espresso has less caffeine that regular brews.
2. “Irregardless” is not a word.
3. It’s illegal to pump your own gasoline in New Jersey.
4. Old people have sex.
5. OTC drugs kill.
6. It gets cold in Florida.
7. Heart disease, not breast cancer, is the number one killer of women.
8. Hard work often goes unrewarded.
9. High school is no predictor of life success.
10.San Francisco has miserable weather.
11.There is no such thing as a “safe investment.”
12.It snows in April.
13. Hollywood couples divorce.
14. Politicians screw around (also).
15. “Reality shows” are fake.
16. Arranged marriages are as happy as love matches.
17. Our bodies age and betray us.
18. Iran once had a flourishing Jewish community.
19. Not all comics are Jewish.
20. Elite athletes take designer drugs.
21. The word “unique” requires no modifiers.
22. Very rich, really smart folk get taken by very rich, really smart con artists.
23. Our children heard what we were saying.
24. Just about everyone has taken a hit off a bong...so what?
25. Many otherwise sane intelligent people reject evolution.
And it would not surprise me if you could add 25 more...
