Somewhat recently I visited my somewhat local Olive Garden. I hadn't been to an Italian restaurant in some time but I was talked into it by a group of friends who insisted it would be so great. So anyways, upon being seated we did the usual, ordered drinks, then spent time pondering what we would order before the waitress returned. Upon her return my three friends ordered ahead of me. While being the last one to order I was asked what kind of dressing for my salad. I responded "french" thinking nothing of this, and nothing else was asked. Now comes my confusion, upon receiving my salad, I did not receive any french dressing. Not a big deal I thought, I will just remind the waitress. At this point my friends along with the waitress began to laugh, thinking I was joking or something, my confusion continued. My friend further informed me that you cannot get french dressing at an Italian restaurant. I was completely unaware of this, has anyone else heard of this insane rule? I would be delighted to hear if I am the only one who spent 30 years of his life completely oblivious to this little law cuisine. Can I have Swedish meatballs at an American cafe? Can i have french toast in Mexico? Can I have American fries in Europe? Please someone
help me!

Million Dollar Ideas
Let's face it, who wouldn't like to be a millionaire? The only people I can think of who wouldn't are billionaires, and I don't know a lot of them. I've been thinking of how to make my first couple million lately. The lottery thing hasn't worked out too well so far. I haven't been able to get myself onto any of those game shows that just seem to give cash away, the dumber you are the better it seems! So I've decided to take things into my own hands and come up with some million dollar ideas. You know, those things you see on late night TV that you just can't possibly live another day without.
First Idea - A nightstand with a built in cup holder. Aren't you sick of waking up in the middle of the night for a glass of water. Now it would be right there. In a holder so you won't spill it while fumbling around blindly in the dark, and what the heck we could even put a little cooler in the nightstand to keep it nice and chilled! Possibly even a little LED to prevent all that blind fumbling I mentioned earlier. Unless you really are blind, then the light won't help much. But if you are blind you are probably not reading this either and will never have to hear of my fantastic idea. Lucky you!
Number Two - A mirrored shower/bath mat. Now some of you are confused so I will explain. For anyone who's ever tried shaving in the shower (not your face), mostly ladies and I'm guessing more men than are willing to admit it, I know how hard it can be to shave a place you've never even seen with your own eyes. So for the less flexible out there this would be a great item to save on nicks and cuts where you really, really don't want them! Also it might prevent some slips and slides who knows. I however will not be responsible for the trauma caused or the counseling needed after seeing yourself from this particular angle.
That's all for today, I will continue to add to the million dollar ideas as they come to me.

Thrift Store Underwear
Well I've been looking for a place to store all the random ideas and thoughts that pop into my head from time to time, so I thought why not share them with whoever might find them interesting. I have no idea how often I will update this or how interesting it may or may not be to anyone else, but oh well. Now that I've got that out of the way, let's put down a thought I've had rolling around in my brain for quite some time.
Thrift Store Underwear
I don't know how many people have been to a thrift store, I'm assuming quite a few. There really are some great deals and cool things to be found there. However one item that really bothers me is used underwear. In particular, men's used underwear. I can't speak for the ladies but being a man I personally know that men do not throw out underwear until it has reached the end of it's life-span. By life-span I mean that it's no longer really underwear, more or less it's down to being an over sized rubber band, and even then I would probably find a use for it (maybe to bound up used newspapers) rather than discard it. So back to the thrift store, if these used men's underwear are here I can only assume that a man didn't put them there. Which in turn leads me to assume that the former wearer of this underwear must now be deceased and his former wife, girlfriend or lover has donated them to the thrift store. Why would I want a dead man's underwear? How do I know this particular pair of underwear wasn't the cause of his passing!
