How many white hairs do you have ?

I've never counted!
Not that many though thanks to my father - who I take my hair colour from. He doesn't have too many even now, although his beard is mostly grey. He jokes people might think he dyes his hair! Hopefully I won't have to worry about grey beard-growth for a few years yet - gets the tweezers

Me on the phone support. Mate from work: How come the recorder only shows a low signal all of a sudden while the oscilloscope shows the norm signal? I only taped the two wires today! - Me: Untape and inspect for shorts! Him: I did it right! - Me: just do it! - Him: *grmmmblgrgrgr

...but you have a vagina and everyone knows vaginas drain intelligence along with all the pee. Why didn't you offer to make him a nice cup of tea instead?

German far-righr AfD staffer arrested on China spy charges. Thoughts?

Like Ed said, everyone is spying on everyone all the time. They always make such a huge deal when they catch a spy, and make a big splash with the show trials and the subsequent punishments. "Isn't it terrible China was spying on us!" as they up their surveillance budget and double the manpower.

Have a flat tire on my bicycle so I took the bus. Sat down and instantly felt the warmth of the person sitting there before. Stood up and took the seat nearby. Why ? You?

I got on a bus once and sat on half a set of false teeth - I couldn't tell if they were the bottom set or the top set. Either way you'd think the owner might've noticed half their teeth were missing!

If you had to guess what country has the highest rate or cosmetic/plastic surgeries per capita (without Googling it) who do you think it would be? Why?

South Korea. I read something about it a while ago. I remember a few years ago reading about how South Korean skincare was the next big thing, and how the nine/ten/eleven-step beauty routine was becoming the norm there. I suppose the next step would be plastic surgery.

What do you do to prepare for an exam? How far in advance do you prepare?

I just went into a restaurant that charges per weight and they weighed mine at more than 1.5 pounds. My stomach cannot handle 1 pound, so I'm pretty sure the scale was rigged. What would you do if that happened to you and you already paid for it?

Once you've paid for it you've had it. I wouldn't go back there ever again. You could report them to the relevant department if you think they're overcharging regularly.

Seafood? Yay or nay? 1-10?

I like some fish - as long as it's not fishy tasting! As for shellfish - yuck! All of it. Horrible horrible stuff.

Kid: I licked it, so it's mine! - Thoughts? -

I remember being perturbed because I dropped an ice cream cone on my way home and got into trouble for saying it was my brother's one. When my father asked how I knew it was his, I said I'd already licked mine so I knew it was his - lies! I had to give my brother the remaining cone.

Is it worth getting a passport if I'm probably not going to use it?

Yes. As others have said, it can be used for all kinds of reasons. Plus, it's always a bonus workwise to be able to go anywhere at short notice.

I’m 40+ years old. Is it “appropriate” for me to be on Retrospring?

I just looked at the public feed. A load of infantile bullshit about fan fiction and idiots being horrible to each other. I say we need more people over 40, not less! For the love of god, I'm not going back on there again in a hurry!
