That is such a sweet story. And, your maternal grandfather seems like the coolest guy. Many people would have looked down on someone who was a sanitation engineer. I respect people who make an honest living.

I can see this one happening. American goes to Japanese tattoo artist whose English is limited. "I want a tattoo that says 'free' in Japanese." Thinking, of course, of personal or political freedom. "You want tattoo that says 'free'?" Thinking of no charge "Yes, that's right." Japanese person thinks, What a strange request for a tattoo, but okay, if that's what he wants. Shrugs and says, "Ok."

If I was a Chinese tattoo artist and an American came to me saying he wanted a tattoo of the Chinese characters for "courage" or "honor" or some such profound concept, I'd give him a tattoo that said "gullible idiot" just for fun.

This is why photographers often put a paperclip or a penny or some such in a photo to show the scale. Without some indication of scale, pictures can be very misleading.

Wow, rude enough to send someone a card telling them they're NOT invited. But then to close it off by asking for money. Just wow.

No, it's not selfish to refuse to give in to extreme demands.

That's almost as outrageous as a restaurant kicking a customer out because the customer works in the Trump administration, or a member of Congress calling for people to harass Republicans at stores and gas stations and anywhere they see them and tell them "they're not welcome here".

Wow, some people want to continue to live their lives even though they may possibly know someone who might have a disease that kills 0.25% of the people who catch it. And of course coughing is proof that someone has either Covid or the Black Plague.

Wow, if my girlfriend publicly complained about how I proposed, I think I'd be saying, "Oh, sorry, have a nice life".

I'd tell them they eat the burnt dead bodies of fairies. Help them to learn to cope with the harsh realities of life.

Hmm. if my 90-year old father started talking about some inanimate object as if it was his girlfriend people would be saying he was going senile. But a group of NASA engineers do it and it becomes profound and touching.

I once jokingly referred to a woman who worked for me as my "henchman". She objected that she was not my "henchman" because she is not a man. So I said, "Okay, how about 'henchbabe'". She liked that.

I don't doubt that there are boys who like flowers. But I suspect it's very few. I'm a guy. I don't DISLIKE flowers. I mean, I'm not offended or grossed out at the sight of a flower. But it would do absolutely nothing for me if someone gave me flowers. It might be amusing to do a study.

Has our society really become so twisted that being gay is now viewed as "wholesome"? Yes, I expect I'll now get a bunch of replies saying I'm an intolerant bigot. From people who have no tolerance for those with different views on morality and religion.
