If you’ve followed this website for any length of time, you know I like to study and learn from and swipe ideas from some random sources. Like movies and rap music, for example.

Boy: Dad, what’s an alcoholic?

…

Tell me that’s not funny. And remember: learn from everyone and everything. Oh, and go easy on the liquor.
