I now have access to a 3D printer thanks to the grad program I'm in, and for some reason I was thinking the other day that I should make a dickbutt figurine.
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting a tomato in s fruit salad.
- A fine line by somebody, can't remember who
I always just assume Charles Barkley.
Also I like extending this into the other stats. Charisma is convincing someone that your tomato fruit salad is a perfectly reasonable thing to make. Dexterity is sneaking tomato into someone's fruit salad without them noticing.

Strength is holding someone down until they agree to put tomato into their fruit salad.

Latest survey shows that 3 out of 4 people make up 75% of the world's population.
And 40% of vacation days are taken on Monday and Friday.
You sure? That seems like something that would be more weighted towards those two days. Long weekends etc.
I think he was phrasing it intentionally vaguely, so as to mean that of the possible days to take a vacation, 40% of them are Monday and Friday.
Sort of. It was a reference to a Dilbert strip and I got the line wrong (and edited my initial post to be correct.)
The line was "40% of sick days are taken on Friday and Monday."
Though honestly, over enough people and a long enough timeframe, I'd be surprised if the breakdown of vacation days taken by weekday wasn't close to even.

I would. Pretty much the only reason to take a day off in the middle of the week is if you have a specific appointment for something. Outside of that it's actually really inconvenient because most people have work that carries over from day to day, and interruptions in that workflow just make things more difficult when you get back. Also, due to the fact that most people do prefer to extend their weekends, you're more likely to be able to get a hold of people on a Tuesday-Thursday, meaning you can be more productive on those days. It's at least partially a self-reinforcing thing.

I always liked the line from an episode of Justice League where some Bill O'Reilly style fearmonger newscaster rips on the League, claiming that "Under your watch, 50% of all marriages end in divorce, and the rest end in death!"
That is literally the joke below the calamity joke in the link I posted. I *almost* want to predict Monday's joke, but I don't want to accidentally spoil it, either. Because I think it's actually a good one.

Gonna go ahead and consider this a sign.
Edit:
Why is there an expiration date on my sour cream container?
To let you know when it's ready to eat.
Yeah! And technically tomatoes, pumpkins, cucumbers, peas, corn, and peppers are all fruits! As long as you ask a biologist and not a chef.
