Various and Sundry Thoughts

Here are some thoughts I jotted down that aren’t quite sufficient for their own individual blog posts. If you’re the type of person who likes Twitter, pretend each of these is a tweet.
- The opposite of sweet is savory. So why isn’t someone who has a sweet disposition called “an unsavory character”?
- I thought I’d make my wife happy and take her shoe shopping. It turns out it only makes her happy if the shoes are for her, not for me.
- In golf, you want to shoot under par. So why is something bad called “sub par”? Shouldn’t it be “super-par”?
- Life is too short to keep using worn-out non-stick pans. We got a new set recently and why didn’t we do that earlier?
- A lesson I learned from raising kids: “many hands make light work” does not apply when trying to loosen knots in shoelaces. I need space (not extra help) if you want me to fix your shoes.
When a man takes a new wife, he is not to go out with the army, nor be assigned any duty; he shall be free at home for one year and shall make his wife whom he has taken happy.
