Weird Confessions
When Single Dad Laughing’s Dan Pearce asked his readers to share the weirdest thing they do that nobody knows about, the responses were, yes, weird. And fun. Here’s a quick selection of them.
1. I have an imaginary brother, whom I like to pretend is in show business, and so I get to have encounters and even friendships with all my favorite celebrities. I’m 37.
2. I can’t go to bed before I smell each one of my fingers and toes.
3. I pretend I’m on a cooking show when I’m cooking alone and I narrate everything I do.
4. I steal forks from everywhere I go. Dinner at friends’ homes, fancy lunches out, school cafeteria—nowhere is safe.
5. I’m a cashier at a grocery store, and if someone is unnecessarily rude, I’ll find the dirtiest, grossest money in my till for his or her change.

Fun Tweets
Because Twitter doesn’t have to be just a bunch of links to weird pictures or semi-interesting articles.
@AaronFullerton: I never feel more American than when Hulu makes me pick my “advertising experience.”
@kumailn: Great dessert tip: Cut up some bananas, apples & oranges in a bowl with fresh squeezed lime juice. Toss it in the trash and eat a cheesecake.
@SomthinBoutSara: I really wish my coworker would stop asking me so many work-related questions while I’m staring at my phone.
@Sal0630: I wanna get rid of this memory foam mattress, but it knows too much.
@juliussharpe: The only qualification for working at an airline is making a confused face at a monitor.
