Chemistry teacher talking about quantum chemistry characteristics of reactions. "It's like driving in London. Just know that everybody is driving on the left side, you don't need to know why".

Learned the Budweiser creed as a pledge 30 years ago. Can still recite it today on demand without fail.

Business Law elective in early 90's at LSU. Teacher said whatever you do when you get out of college and have your first job is put 10% away for retirement and you'll never miss it. Now in my early 50's, he was right and feel good about where I'm at.

My high school chemistry teacher told us in class one day in 1979 that women own 50% of the world's wealth and they control the other 50%.
That was 43 years ago and I still remember it like it was yesterday.

The biological process of caffeine giving you energy. I busted my arse in biochem for two semesters and that's the only fricking thing I remember.

Nobody gives a crap if you quit your job. After two weeks your name will not even be mentioned at your old job. Do not be afraid to change jobs often.

When I was a kid in the 90s there was a short run TV show about a Canadian Mountie called ‘Due South’

In one episode, the Mountie stops his companion to let someone else on the elevator ahead of them and says:

“It only takes a moment to be courteous.”

Not sure why that seared into my 10 year old brain, but I’ve remembered that line through my whole life.

What you got? Any level of school


I started in gifted class in first grade. At the time, the next youngest was in fifth.

At some point the gifted teacher did a few weeks long session on Critical Thinking. Had a workbook and the whole nine yards. Taught me about different types of messaging and propaganda, etc. I was probably 7 or 8 at the time.

Anyways, I'm a cynical a-hole.
