Summary:
Completely off topic, but I found this to be enormously entertaining.

Our friends know about our oddities and idiosyncrasies, but won't tell us because they just want a fun night out. And our girlfriends will say that they now want to broaden their horizon, travel the world, and do different things, rather than say they want to get as far away from you as possible. And our parents know all about our weird little ways, but love us too much to say.Hey, I'm telling you the whole thing and spoiling it, so the above is just a taster. [embedded content]
