Even more fun is that Fokker eventually moved to the US in the 1920s and morphed into North American Aviation, famous for producing the P-51 Mustang and other airplanes. Those fokkers was inside the house!

And nose and ears.
The ear hair is what gets me. I was at work one time and noticed a single three-inch hair growing off the back of my ear. WTF.
Reminds me of the Tosh line: "being an ugly woman is like being a man -- you're gonna have to get a job."
I honestly don't think he has PTSD, doesn't seem the type. He spent the war riding around in an M48 tank so I don't think he saw any shit up close. More like a B52 pilot than an actual combatant.
Well, my co-worker is weak but definitely not omnipotent.
I'd also recommend driving a school bus. $35/hour and subsidized health insurance. You only have the little bastiges for 15 minutes at a time and you don't have to teach them shit. You don't need a bachelor's degree (or even a high school degree) and god DAMN do my coworkers show the results of that.
Mine is my other kidney.
I did this to become a programmer. No CS degree, learned to program by working on a personal project (music composition software), formed an LLC and sold the app as shareware back in the day when there was such a thing and people would pay $29.95 (!) for it. Still didn't make nearly enough to live on, got a real job with a resume that listed my own company as my first employment. Wasn't even dishonest about it, listed my role as "sole proprietor". Maybe the people reviewing my resume didn't know what a proprietor was.
TBF this was the '90s when Internet startups were hiring anything with a pulse.
Ha ha, I just looked it up: there are five Domino's Pizza restaurants in Vietnam.
UIs that have random symbols
My favorite was the Windows Phone interface circa 2011 or so. They had a "save" button (I forget what you actually had to save on a phone) that was the standard floppy disk icon (ironic for a phone) except it was elongated and leaning to one side. When I first saw it, I thought it was a semi trailer tipping over and couldn't imagine what it was supposed to be for.
Not really "never", but the standard movie deals have long called for the studios to get a 90% cut of the box for the first two weeks a movie runs, then it switches to a 50/50 split the rest of the way. Nobody seems to have noticed that this arrangement incentivizes movie studios to produce overhyped pieces of shit so that no good movie with serious staying power cannibalizes their own revenue stream. Just a total coincidence that most movies now are overhyped pieces of shit.

Ah, that's the beauty of getting older: eventually you have no friends or family.
