IM conversation between me and my former boss concerning an unhygenic member of staff
Me: God that cough of his is fucking rank
Boss: Yes it is
Me: Can't we kill him?
Boss: I have no objection to this
Me: You do it. You're virtually autonomous in your new role. If I do it there'll be a fuckload of paperwork to deal with.
Boss: Explain that word
Me: Paperwork is a term popularised in the late 20th Century, prevalent in office-based workplaces. In the modern day and age it is something of a tautology as many offices are now paperless.
Boss: Funny fucker ain't ya

I once overhead some spack-tard on the subway tell his friend that an antisymmetric wavefunction for two particles is necessarily the difference of products of one-body wavefunctions.
The moron had no idea that even though one can construct a basis of such states, an arbitrary state will be a linear combination of such basis states. If the particles interact, then even the energy eigenstates will not (in general) be in the "difference of products" form.

I suppose it's easy to be cynical in this day and age, but back then we really did believe in what we were doing.
About six of us had dressed up as barbers and taken over the town hall at gunpoint. Luckily the mayor didn't know that one of the shotguns wasn't loaded, and we managed to secure the building before the redcoats arrived.
Before long the air was resounded with volleys of rifle fire and cannon roar and so forth. We were particularly unlucky in that one of the regiments of soldiers that was sent to attack us was, due to a clerical error, composed entirely of actual tigers. Of course in later years many of my compatriots quite liked a Tiger when it was an economy, but back then of course we had to shoot the tigers in the face so they wouldn't eat us.
This was a task that we faced with no relish, for most of these tigers were decent honest working class animals of the genus Panthera Tigris. They weren't responsible for this war, but they were our foe, and one guy who was there was really ignorant.

So, I used to go out with a girl who was a bit of a bimbo,
and one time I was making a curry, and I asked her how hot she wanted it, and she said "Ignorance is not just a blank space on a person's mental map. It has contours and coherence, and for all I know rules of operation as well. So as a corollary to [the advice of] writing about what we know, maybe we should add getting familiar with our ignorance, and the possibilities therein for writing a good story."

What a ditz!

Aging and Parenthood
When I was a kid, I used to be so angry at my dad. He had a fierce temper and a quick hand that was always on target and hurt like hell. He worked a great deal, was highly respected in the community, and I would have people tell me what a great guy he was; I would always think, "great to everyone but his family," and then go sulk.

He was also religious, but did not live up completely to his religion. I took every opportunity to complain about that to my siblings, my mom and friends. I blamed all my problems and personality defects on him - I still do, when I'm honest.

When I was in high school, he got cancer and later died. We had time to make our peace. After a few kids of my own and a few years under my belt, I came to the shameful realization that he was a lot like me, just 35 years older. He came out of a hellish childhood, put himself through war and law school and had a long, distinguished career as a federal agent. He saved so much that even though he's been dead for a long time, my mom has never had to work to support herself in her old age.

When I look at my life, I realize that he did a whole lot more, with a whole lot less than I have for my family.

Another case of advanced daftness as opposed to ignorance…

Last weekend I attended a bit of a family reunion with some relatives from Oz. We all went out for a meal and eventually found ourselves enjoying a drink and glancing over menus as and you do.

As everyone made their meal choices, my mum just couldn’t decide and I asked her what the problem was:

“I don’t know whether or not I should go for the ‘Brewer’s Chicken’ – have you had that before?” she declared worriedly. I looked at the menu description: ‘Strips of tender chicken breast topped with crispy bacon and Cheddar, on a barbecue & beer sauce. Served with chips and salad’.

“I haven’t had it before but it sounds ok” I replied. “What’s the problem?”.

“Ooh, well I’m not sure how much beer will be in it. Besides, I’m also driving...” she answered with a concerned frown.

Fighting the urge to facepalm hard, I tried to reassure her. “That won’t be a problem” I said.

However, after careful deliberation, she eventually decided that it wasn’t worth taking the chance so she opted for the ‘safe option’ instead…

The Steak and Ale pie.
