Irony at the Airport
The 3 oz. limit on liquids carried onto airplanes seems to affect women far more than men, which is ironic, considering that it was a response to terrorism, and the majority of terrorists are men.

Elderly People Say the Darndest Things
One day, I was standing and talking with two other friends at a hospital. I happened to be holding a bottle of water, and as I was in the middle of an amusing anecdote, this elderly man walks up to our group. He looks straight into my eyes, takes my water bottle, and says (referring to the bottle), "100% pure alcohol". I thought it was pretty awesome that he said that. What was even better was, if he had said that to me on most other days at that hospital, he'd have been right! Needless to say, my friends and I all had a good laugh. That's why I tell people that you don't need alcohol to have fun at your job– whether you be a janitor or a pediatric surgeon (like me).

Exception to the Rule
In order to perfect a craft, one can usually pick the brain of someone who's been successful in that area. Example: asking a famous musician how to write a song.
This rule does not apply, however, to suicide.
