What is the hardest thing known to man? Some of
you might reply "diamond," but you'd be wrong, the hardest thing known to man is
dried bird shit that has dried on the surface of your car and is impossible to
remove. It is certainly harder than concrete and will probably take a diamond
drill to remove it, except that it's harder than diamond.
My parking spot in our car park is under a tree, and the
birds gather there in order to target my car. I hear them calling to each
other, in bird-speak, "come one and all, come over here, and deposit your
offerings on Jack's nice shiny car." At least it used to be nice and shiny, but
now its an amazing conglomeration of dark brown, light brown and white
droppings. They especially like to target the door handles and the windshield.
What have I ever done to them?
A helpful car cleaner told me that baby tissues, soaked
with rubbing alcohol, are the best thing for taking them off. Its true they do
work wonders, but there are so many droppings and they are so hard, you find
yourself wiping them vigorously for a half hour and getting nowhere. I used to
enjoy nature, now I've learned that bird do-do is a fun part of it.
What is the hardest envelope to open, yes, the
one that has perforations all around it. Of course the perforations are added
supposedly to make it easier to open. But, in fact it works the other way. A
simple envelope that can be ripped open in a second is not good enough anymore.
You have to have perforations and then inside there is a kind of gum that cannot
be separated, but that tears the paper so that the contents cannot be read or
identified.
What is the hardest thing to say, admit you were
wrong. Have I ever made mistakes? Certainly I have, but to paraphrase Frank
Sinatra in "I did it my way," "Mistakes I've made a few, but then
again too few to mention."
