True Story
We stopped by one of the four (at the time) large farms in our town one day. The elder was working the stand, age 92 and sharp as a tack.
A customer came in and asked questions as they often do. They had just picked up a watermelon and took it to the register.
Customer, "How deep do you have to plant these watermelons to get them to grow?
Old Farmer, “Well we don’t plant the melon, we plant the seeds about 2-3 inches down and they grow into watermelons.”
Customer, “But how? These are seedless.”

When I was in the grocery store last week, there was a girl (maybe 10-12) wearing Heelies. I saw here fall down 3 times; no telling how many times I didn’t see. Looks a bit fun, but when a crack in the floor means you fall on your face, no thank you.
And we have a diverging diamond exchange not too far away; it’s amazing. If you aren’t really paying attention, you’re through it before you even realize there’s anything odd.
Let me guess – as opposed to a pie chart, this is a soup chart ?
I had four years of Latin and three years of French in high school plus some French in college. The Latin still comes in handy at times. As a vocal accompanist, the French was good to know, but Italian would have been better. I spent five weeks teaching myself German out of a Berlitz book before making several trips to Germany, on the second of which I spent a month playing rehearsals for a conductor who spoke only German and Japanese. Then I took a short trip to Paris during which my long forgotten French miraculously came back to life.
Still, my kids have studied Spanish, which is more likely to be useful to them.
