My grandfather said he’d never move into a retirement home.
He said, “Too expensive… and the food tastes like someone boiled sadness.”
Instead, he checked into a beachfront hotel.
We asked, “Grandpa, isn’t that even more expensive?”
He smiled and said, “Not really.
At the retirement home, I’d pay $200 a day for cold meatloaf and no visitors.
But here? For $150 a day, I get ocean views, room service, fresh towels, a pool…
…and suddenly all my grandkids remember I exist every weekend.”
Then he leaned back in his chair and delivered the final line like a mob boss:
“And if I die in the hotel lobby, the manager will actually look disappointed.
But at the nursing home? They just call it Tuesday.”
Underrated signs of a high performer:
• They hate small talk.
• Are not okay with wasting your time.
• Do what they say they’re going to do.
• Do it with urgency.
• Are obsessed, not just interested.
What am I missing?
On this Kentucky Derby day, here’s your reminder that Secretariat was faster than any horse who has ever lived. The year is 1973 and this is his track record run. Untouched for 53 years. The GOAT.
I blame OSHA. In the old days stupid people would die from being stupid.
OSHA has been keeping stupid people alive since
the 70s.
Alive to breed and make more stupid people!
Thanks, OSHA!!
This is an infamous sandwich from Katz’s Delicatessen, lines out the door nearly every day, known for its generous portions and it sells for nearly $30.
Everyone said it couldn’t be done. A skyscraper built on sand in the middle of the sea. The UAE proved them wrong and did it with the Burj Al-Arab in Dubai.
