I just acquired some new knowledge

I go on this sales call for a bathroom remodel from a lead from a dude I'm in class with and immediately realize this old man is clever.
I sub-out his bathroom (it's done & beautiful)
He takes me on another sales call and sells the the job for a third more than what I charge.

He made a commission sale that more than paid for his little Haddonfield bathroom pimp

Who can have more fun than people?
I think he did it to show me that money is free

The old man is mystical super power salesman


I'm scared

Read up on the pledge of allegiance because of a RayR post. I learned a lot. And it was all contrary to what I believe in. Thanks RayR.

Lions are called King of Jungle, but they are neither king or in the jungle.

Tigers bigger, stronger, and more lethal than lions.

The live on the savanna. Not the jungle.

Why they were heathens, heathens I tell you!

What a waste of a good virgin. Unless they were ugly and bitchy... then go ahead and toss them.

kinda sounds like “First Blood” a little.

Yes!
That's it!!!

Nope, missed that movie your description brings up memories.

True story, me and the Ex did our honeymoon in Playa Del Carmen. All inclusive resort.

We did a tour of the Mayan ruins in the area, Chichen Itza if my memory serves me correctly. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Castillo,_Chichen_Itza)

I walked up the stairs of the temple just fine... then when at the top, I turned around to picture the view. Vertigo set in.

After wandering around the temple and with the tour guide explaining the history and all that, I had to walk down the same stairs... they were totally open with no guard rails.. Just a rope down the center. The steps where like 10" deep on the landing (apparently they had little feet back then). One miss step or stumble, and gravity would take over as you you bounced on down the rock stairs.

I went down on my ass, one step at a time as if I was a 3 yr old. Yeah, when it comes to heights, I'm kind of a pu$$y. I'll admit it.

It's not Knowledge Recently Acquired, but it was about 20 yrs ago.

Sounds like dehumanization of the work force. Turning people into numbers

I applied there but they didn't want a 58. Applied again with my split personality but was rejected. The didn't want a Heinz Fiddy NINE!

Is there a test for this recently acquired knowledge?

^ Agree. Change in perspective is a good way to look at things.

Why is this happening for me?

I like to take it one bit further, "What did I learn and how can I apply it going forward?" Past couple years I had to do a deep look at where I was going and some decisions I've made in the past. I've made some changes, took a step back that hopefully will give positive results and lead to two steps forward.

With hormone therapy and a few medical procedures I might be able to pass as an ugly chick and work the street corners for used lottery tickets and a pack of butts.

(OK the first part is true, the last part is trying to add levity)

And with the right attitude, you can get any butt you want. Even a whole pack of them

Women are from Venus and men are from Mars.

And all the other genders you make up are from Uranus!

Excellent!

An arroyo, also called a wash, is a dry creek, stream bed or gulch that temporarily or seasonally fills and flows after sufficient rain. Flash floods are common in arroyos following thunderstorms. In Spain and Latin America any small river is called an arroyo, flowing continually all year and never drying. The Spanish term for the subject of this article is rambla, while wadi is used in North Africa, and Western Asia. Arroyos provide a water source to desert animals. The desert dry wash biome is restricted to the arroyos of the southwestern United States.

I learned how to spin a sphere around in my head pretty good trying to wrap my head around quaternions.

Tasmanian Devils.

When a female is in heat, the Male TDs have to have their A game. Males only get their chance for 10 days, once a year.

So how is it different than guys after 10 years after marriage?

Today I have learned that it is possible for a banana to own a dog.

If you are interested in how this possible, I can only explain it on the vherf with a pipe in my hand, but I assure you, the statement is true.

Loons(the waterfowl) spend the warm weather months in fresh water, and move to the ocean for the winter months...who woulda thunk

Point being?
