I used to own a bunch of newspaper racks. You know the kind put in fifty cents-take out seventy five dollars worth of papers. Jerks! anyway, the problem with owning a bunch of these racks is that you need to fill them every single night, 7 days a week 365 days a year. I went two years without a day off. Towards the end of those two years I was pretty much dead on my feet. One night I just couldn't go any further. I pulled over and closed my eyes for a few minutes. The next thing I remember was waking up to someone pounding on my car window. I looked over and there was a fireman knocking on my windows, there were flashing lights all over the place. Someone had seen me in my car and assumed I was dead so they called the police.
Yeah, I saved my good ones for this thread. Didn't want to waste it on jp's cause no one reads that one.quddusaliquddus said:Lol. That's a good one :D

Yes, tribdog. We know. Oh my goodness how we know.tribdog said:Embarassment hasn't been a problem for me in quite a while.
Here's one of my embarassing moments:
In fourth grade, we were doing a wax museum, you know where everyone chooses some random famous person and becomes a living biography of them, then dresses up like them and people come to here your speech on them? Well, I had Robert E. Lee, the Conferate hero general in the Civil War. I has this whole huge long (like five minutes) speech, but when these bored-looking teenagers came to me, I just burst into tears and fled the room, knocking over Abraham Lincoln on my way out. I hid in a cabinet, and it took them three hours of searching to find me. I was in soooooooo much trouble.

We would take his parents' car out when they were at work to get food and visit friends. We thought we were soooo cool. One day we go driving for no real reason. My friend decides to learn how to parallel park (why? hell if I know). He ended up breaking the back right light and bending the bumper and fender. After almost ****ing ourselves, we drive back to his house and spend 2 hours "fixing" the damage with hammers. Amazingly we did a decent job. Three days later we heard his dad yelling at his mom for ****ing up the car.

A short anecdote is a brief and often amusing or interesting story about a real incident or person.
Short anecdotes can be used in scientific research as a way to provide real-life examples or evidence to support a hypothesis or theory. They can also be used as a tool for data collection, by recording and analyzing individuals' personal experiences.
Short anecdotes should be used with caution as they are often based on personal recollections and may not be completely accurate. However, they can add a human element to scientific research and can be used as a starting point for further investigation.
Yes, short anecdotes can be used in academic writing as long as they are properly cited and used to support a larger argument or point. They should not be used as the sole source of information, but rather as a supplement to other evidence and sources.
Short anecdotes can be found through personal interviews, historical documents, and published memoirs or biographies. They can also be found through online sources such as blogs or forums, but be sure to evaluate the credibility of these sources before using them in your research.
