What has shocked you today?
I just learned that a friend had a heart attack yesterday (A parent of my daughter's peer and long-time classmate/teammate who works alongside me on the score table at swim meets). Seemingly young (ish), fit, and healthy, no red flags, no warning signs. I shouldn't be shocked given my stroke last year, but I am. :/ Looks like he'll escape jail/hospital tomorrow, so that's good, but still......

I'm a bit shocked to learn that in Michigan you might wind up in jail for having a heart attack.
YIKES!

I'll tell you what I didn't get shocked by today.
The spa heater or the wiring in my house. It was nice.

My dad had a heart attack around age 44, for no apparent reason. The doctors saved him, and he's never had any trouble in the 20+ years since. Crazy flukes are crazy (unlike parasitic flukes, which are just gross.)

I found the Sale-planning instructions for the Deli a little shocking this week. as a Brit.

Did you find the bit that might shock a Brit, though?

WOGS sounds like it might be British slang for something dirty
