   Some friends of MI e bought a specialized bowl with a swivel base designed to keep the bowl level so it couldn’t be tipped over. They bought it because there toddler daughter was always tipping her bowl over and spilling her food all over. The first time they gave her the new bowl she tried to tip it over only to have the base keep the owl upright. Just as my friends thought they’d won their daughter grabbed the bowl and the base at the same time and turned the whole thing over.

   I only wear white socks because I had a bad and long term case of athlete’s foot and the dyes from colored socks can really make your feet burn.

   I once kibitzed in a chess game. It was obvious to me that both players were below my level and didn’t really know what they were doing, but lone player was slightly better than the other player that he had a smug superior attitude and was heckling the other player. I could see that the other player couldn’t win because he was down to his king and his knight while the other player had his king, a bishop, and a rook. I knew that the second player would turn the game into a stalemate by taking the first guys rook but since that meant losing his knight to the bishop he was about to back out of the attack when I stepped in and asked if I could kibitz. The first player was so sure of his position he told me to go ahead so I told the other player to take the rook, he hesitated because he didn’t want to lose his knight but decided I knew what I was doing and took the rook. The first player took the knight and thanked me for giving him the game. I told him I just made sure he couldn’t win the game and he scoffed. I had to leave to run an errand but I came back a few minutes later and the first player was practically in tears as he stared at the board and told me, “I couldn’t win, it was a stalemate.”
