Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron
test is absolutely petrifying.
Yes! YES! I immediately begin doubting myself, because what teacher would put the answer on the same letter choice three times in a row? Human nature is to want to mix it up to make it seem "more random."

I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the
shower first and THEN turn on the water.

Depends on how your shower works, I guess. I run the water from the spigot until it's decent, then pull the knob that makes the water come from the shower head.

Catholic guy goes into the confessional box.
He notices on one side a fully equipped bar with Guinness on tap.
On the other wall is a dazzling array of the finest Cuban cigars.
Then the priest comes in.
"Father, forgive me, for it's been a very long time since I've been to confession, but I must first admit that the confessional box is much more inviting these days."
The priest replies "Get out. You're on my side."

Isn't there cold water in the pipes that hits you before the warmed water does? That's what mine does, and that initial blast of cold almost feels painful!

No I really do get in the tub before turning any water on.

I've got one like below (not mine, but indicative). Pretty standard I think. I get in the tub and turn the water on to warm. Sure there's cold water coming out, but it's coming out the spigot at the bottom. After that's a reasonable temperature, then I pull the knob that makes the water come out the top. There's only a second or two of cold water, which I block with my hand. Then it's just fine.

I've used a shower with no spigot, just the shower head. In that case, I just make sure the shower head is pointed away from me before turning the water on.

A man asked an American Indian what was his wife’s name.
He replied, “She called Four Horse”.
The man said, “That’s an unusual name for your wife. What does it mean?”
The Old Indian answered, “It old Indian Name.













It mean…. NAG, NAG, NAG, NAG!”
