Just yesterday I told my daughter that people try to rip phone books apart to show off their strength. She'd never heard of such a thing. She thought I was pulling her leg!
Every once in a while we have to show these young whippersnappers that they don't know everything yet.
There are also those who work second or third shift, or part-time because that's all that's available. Then there are people like me who work flex time. I appear to have free time because I can go places during business hours, but I'm up at 4AM to get stuff done.
I had a weird cat once that stole potatoes from the bin and took them off to private corner. She would bite the peel off and spit out each mouthful, then eat the inside of the potato. We would find a half potato surrounded by a pile of catbite-size peelings.
My dad once gave me a piece of uranium ore and a small Geiger counter to take to school. It was neat! Someone doing that today would probably get arrested.
For the record... I would rather clean up after one large cat than a multi-cat box. We have four cats, despite the fact that I keep telling the kids my limit is two.

And there IS a palindrome in the third to last paragraph.
But my kids would never rise early enough to catch the bus anyway.
