Constantly fails the exam? I'd hardly call eleven times "constantly." I mean, if you eat roast beef eleven times in your life, one would hardly say that person constantly eats roast beef. No, it would be a rare, nay, freak occurrence. Possibly mad?

This is what we get for having the hubris to think we could eat our food's food.

@anonymous234 It's also weird to try to compare life skills with a (disgusting) fetish.
The first two indicate a willingness and ability to learn to do something. These are not objectionable actions by nearly everyone. The last indicates a particular perverted mindset that is willing, or even desirous, of engaging in that activity. Crime and other abhorrent behaviour tend to work that way.

FTFY
Fun Fact: the TVTropes.org page Never Live It Down was originally called "But You Screw One Goat...". This actually stuck around for quite a while like that, because everyone knew the joke. Which makes you wonder why Musk is dragging it out right now. Did he have some Epic Fail in public recently?
Filed Under: Or maybe that was just my Dad. Either way, it's ancient. You seriously never heard it before?

@polygeekery Also,
Keener said several years ago he bought fancy, custom made A-frame chalkboard signs to advertise his specials and welcome customers. It turned out to be a code violation to place it on the curb where the public can see, so he gave up that effort.

$14k??? Does that include the price of the ring?

Florida.
And in Central America, iguana is a delicacy. It's something - they're actually farmed for food. So this gentleman just thought, wow, I just have a bunch of protein here. He's on Key Biscayne. He's sort of picking up all these iguanas that appear to be dead on the road that had fallen out of trees. They turned gray and were not moving at all and very cold to the touch.
And he put them into his vehicle. He's loading them up like he was stocking up for a big barbecue. When they went back into the vehicle, the vehicle warmed up, and those iguanas started coming back to life. And all of a sudden, they started getting up and running around in the car, and it caused an accident.

Cost signalling like that attracts the wrong type of spouse.

I proposed to my wife of multiple decades by kneeling into dirty laundry in my dorm room of exile without a ring. Being rich or whatever is nice but it's not necessary.

Evolutionary psychology supports the idea that women need some cost signalling. Women like your wife were happy with signals that didn't need to demonstrate extreme wealth. Sounds like a good choice.

My proposal cost about £120, which was 100% the cost of the ring. My wife would have been annoyed if I'd spent thousands that could have been spent on the wedding or starting our married life on the right foot.

Also good choice.
Both of our rings cost $80 (no engagement ring) and we don't even wear them now.

Yeah, we were both broke college students at the time, so there simply wasn't any large amount of money to be had.

He was in Florida, and he did something that a Florida Man would do.
Therefore, he is a Florida Man.

Nope. But I did read in the library records about a guy in northern Nevada who injured a man in a drunken fistfight so that he soon died. The guy was convicted and executed. The day before his execution, he made a statement for the local newspaper to the effect that he accepted the judgment and sentence and that he hoped that his example would be a warning to young people to avoid both drinking and fighting.
