I get cramped in too much clothing, so summer is great -- shorts & nothing
else!

I've been eating them since age of 5. But gotta be the non-sweet varieties.

Unsweetened white grapefruit juice was always my goto treat for a drink.

Close: hypotenuse.

More or less, 'tho' I find our "eh?" more elegant in speech; t essentially
invites the listener to join in the conversation.  The Japanese use "ne?" the
same way.

When I'm in a pub just south of me, in one Washington state's border towns & 
a stranger asks if I'm Canadian, I ask how they know & they'll reply with a
bunch of superfluous ehs, so I respound, "uh huuuuuuh, yuuuuup, uh huuuuh" :D

(if they don't look rambunctious, of course-- I'm not interested in starting
another west coast war; even when we inevitably win(3rd t ime), there'll be
some losses on both sides, & I'll not be responsible for such.

A German soldier during World War II was embellishing the number of troops he
had with him
When the Allies thought it was just him, he claimed there were not 1 but 2.
Then he changed his story to 3. Then he said 5, then 8, then 13, and finally
21. When the Allies made it to his position, they discovered that it actually
was just him.

Turns out he was a fibber nazi. [fibonacci]

Q: How does a German confuse an English speaker?
A: Replies "9" to any oral math problem requiring "0" for an answer.

Can I play World War Z without having played World War A, B, C, D, E, F, G, 
H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X and Y first?

Spouses are like world wars.
You never refer to them as the "first" until there's a second.
