my mom’s boyfriend thought that women peed out of their butts…..
Haha. I think it’s a common misconception that pee comes out of the vagina rather than the urethra, but… the butt? Seriously? Also I remember when I was in 2nd grade, some of the boys in my class somehow believed girls had orange pee. I’m glad I wasn’t among them.
LOLOL! I think the reasoning, at least for...

– My uncle posted this on LinkedIn. Lately, before I shoot people down, I try to think about why I feel the need to do so. I still slip, though.

How Standardized Tests Stunt the Intellectual... →

I couldn’t believe how difficult it was. I...
