Being a retired cop, coffee has been my preferred since the days being 'trained out', on the beat. Payed $0.25 for a glass of milk, my preference, in '65. Chap 'walking me out' had his coffee free. I switched.

First posting must have been offensive. Hopefully can 'sneak' this one through. I iterate, number two was an analogy, he is referring to arguing with the wife. How many feathers does this 'fluster'?

How many chemicals are there in garlic? I know it's a lot and many would be expected to be harmful. Broccoli has a mixture of carcinogenic, anti-carcinogenic, useful and useless but harmless chemicals.

People die in hospitals largely because they were ill before they went in

# 2, folks, is just analogy. Arguing with the wife is what he meant.

I really am baffled about this War On Cellphones. Anyone who has ever tried already knows it is damn near impossible to focus on dialing those tiny buttuns while watching traffic out the windshield; those who have favorite numbers on speed-dial only have to glance briefly, however, to find it or scroll down and Select. "Impaired"? Bullshingles! More emotional-pushbutton nonsense! Obviously, a "hands-free" device is preferable, but, for example, asking directions in unfamiliar territory, at night, relating exactly where one is and what's nearby, hand-held, is better, even safer, that executing desperate or even panicky turns one way and another while lost. But it does provide one more convenient arguable excuse for state & local governments to rip people off in the name of public safety. They just made it a

"primary offense" in N.J. to use cellphones while driving unless using a hands-free device.

Which brings up another point: Banging one's own head against the wall MAY burn up to 150 calories per hour, depending. But banging SOMEONE ELSE'S head against the wall ought to burn at least 1500 calories per hour, especially if they keep resisting...!

Hmm, let's see... How many state legislators, times one hour each... What a great weight-loss program!

# 10) Apples are more efficient than caffeine in keeping people awake in the morning. Apples are great and I don't drink coffee, good for me since # 5) says there are more than 1,000 chemicals in a cup of coffee; of these, only 26 have been tested, and half caused cancer in rats., but when I eat apples in the mornings, they make me super hungry!

The average vegetable contains hundreds of carotenoids, only a few have been "tested" and some bozos claim that one of them (beta carotene) causes cancer

No more coffee and vegetables...

That banging your head business, it doesn't work very well, although I can't remember too much about it.

Just kidding.

Left and right hand statistics are skewed because when many older people were learning to write they were encouraged to become right handed, thus making it seem like there are proportionately smaller numbers of left handed people in old age.

This issue also relates to mean, but I believe to a slightly lesser degree.

Did you hear about the joke that asks, what is the definition of a vehicle?

A women’s personal phone booth!

No, I do not agree with federal interference such as seat belt laws and cell phone use, but sound logic needs to prevail here as inattentive driving is a major cause of accidents. BTW, DUI is inattentive driving.

<u>1,000 chemicals in a cup of coffee</U>

It is a wonder that more of us are not obese than is the case since we eat 6 elephants during our lifetimes. That is one heck of a lot of food. Check it out by going to the zoo and having a good look at how enormous those animals are and how difficult it would be to eat even one of them. This fact demonstrates how extremely important our food choices are because they impact such a hugely powerful aspect of our health.

...I think #2 meant "burns 150 I.Q. points an hour".
