Easy for me. Blue Moon, Sam Adams Cold Snap or my absolute favorite Sam Adams White Christmas. I try others for fun but those are my go-to beers.
Chicago is about to install a new rail system using electromagnetic energy. They attach a slice of buttered toast to the backs of 877 cats. When dropped they spin continuously since cats always land on their feet and buttered toast always lands butter-side down. The spinning develops the electricity needed to run the trains. It’s the newest breakthrough in perpetual motion.
I sometimes answer the live telemarketers with "FBI NC Field Office"....stops 'em quik...
Hey, at least you're getting a real person. Those I'll give the time of day to.
I've found that computers are now voicing most of the calls we receive in Tucson, and they can't pass the Turing test.
yeah but soon...
Murphy's Law
Takes over and train will go in reverse!
Cat fights take over...
Pandemonium reigns.

PS: Proving again, no such thing as perpetual motion.

Cat videos Justin... They have absorbed all most as much internet time as porn. Just a different crowd.
Oh did you mean to say... He looks like mine?

Add that to another pet peeve of mine...

The art of making up facts to fit your beliefs.

Speaking of pennies ... pennies are a pet peeve of mine! Worthless garbage! I would prefer the cashier just handing me a handful of pebbles as change. I literally throw them out the truck window, or in the trash.
America needs to discontinue the penny, and mint a legit dollar coin. Which is another peeve! Previous dollar coin attempts have been pathetic. More thought went into honoring the best female-empowerment icon than designing something that didn't look and feel exactly like a quarter.
The old British one-pound coin would be a good design model: gold colored, thicker than any other coin, serrated edge. It looked and felt like MONEY.

Wait a minute, that sounds like a scientific method.
They actually took DATA?!?
Then decided the DATA were outliers!!!
That's what they told me in grad school....Wait a minute, that sounds like a scientific method.

Wait to throw them out until I’m with you. I’ll dispose of them for you.

If a US penny is a peeve, then you would be mighty miffed getting any of these British Coins....
A few of these in your right pocket and you would walk with a starboard heel. Needed them to use the phone system. You could melt down a dozen of these coins and make a proper Copper Knuckles or a copper bar etc....
- Farthing = £0.00104167 = $0.001369
- ha'penny = £0.0021 = $0.00276
- copper = £0.0042 = $0.005519
