It's time to take this bull by the horns and milk it.

Thoughts and observations of an Enneagram Type 7 INFP Beatles fan. I prefer baths to showers, late nights to early mornings, cats to dogs, and Mary Ann. The perfect blog for all featherless bipeds.

Gooblek is a 2-to-1 suspension of cornstarch in water. It acts like a liquid if you move it slowly, but a solid if you hit it or squeeze it. Click below for info on Asparagus Pee.

But then again, I could be wrong...For some reason, it really bugs me the way airlines want to charge me for beers and headphones, but 'exact change is appreciated.' Of course, as The Lady Janet pointed out to me when I brought it up last week on the plane, I could solve this problem very easily. Since I know I'm going to drink a beer, I just need to carry some small bills.

So sometimes I go buy something like a cup of coffee just to break a $20, but sometimes I forget, and it just seems kind of silly and arbitrary to me that they charge $5 for a can of MGD that cost about 20¢ more retail than the soda pop they're serving for free, when my family paid like $800 bucks to sit there, and then they add insult to injury by asking, 'Don't you have anything smaller?' when I obviously don't, like it's somehow my fault that ATMs spit out yuppy bucks in $20 increments.

I've had the same gripe with my doctor's office. If everyone who walks in has a $10 or a $15 copay, you ought to start the day with a big stack of fives, and on the flight where Delta charged $2 for a pair of headphones and $4 for a beer, they must know they're playing Crazy Eights. How hard could it possibly be to figure out what cash drawer you need for a typical flight instead of getting on the blowhorn and asking if any passengers have change for a twenty? I mean, come on, I wouldn't sell lemonade from a stand on the sidewalk without a few dollars in the till.

Of course, there's another elegant solution that comes to mind. I could just hold out the $20 bill and say, 'I'll have 5 beers please.'
