Being smart enough to know that you could be better, but not smart enough to actually be better.

They Lie

Am I the only one? I can't tell you how many times a vial of pills is supposed to come in an even number, and I swear I take two at a time, and I wind up with three at the bottom after days of whittling. Are they shorting me? Or is it an overage? (Speaking like a true bean counter.) I'll never know.

Dr. Terri D. Fisher has been conducting research on "sex on the brain": just how often men and women think about sex during the course of the day, and whether age and gender factor in the frequency.

When rounding up older Americans to complete the project, there weren't enough subjects following through for it to happen. However, more women did respond than men.

Why, you ask?

The men were DEAD.

RJ:
At least you're not a cotton-picking prostitute.
