Don't leave horsepower in the showroom

A metaphorical rule to live by: don't make the mistake of choosing the cheaper option to save a buck in the short run, when you'll curse yourself later for not getting the better-grade product/service in the long run.

Eric: "What was I thinking buying that Porsche with the V-4 instead of the V-6 -- it handled like a Formula 1 car but is a total slug in a straight line!"
Tim: "Dude, you broke rule number 1 -- don't leave horsepower in the showroom."
And so --
Maddie: "This well Margarita sucks -- why didn't I get the Cadillac for two bucks more?"
Amy: "Exactly. Don't leave horsepower in the showroom, sweetie."

iphone sushi

The article produced when one inserts one's water-soaked iPhone into a box of white rice, desperately trying to resuscitate it by having the rice draw out the moisture.

"Dude, sorry I didn't text you -- I've got iPhone sushi here thanks to my wife washing my trou without checking the pockets."

last responder

An obstetrician, midwife, doula, neonatal nurse or pediatrician -- specifically, during the period beginning in January 2021, nine months after the COVID-19 lockdown began, and lasting the same length of time as the lockdown did (so called because of the baby boomlet surely resulting from all those fertile individuals who found themselves at home together for weeks on ends with time on their hands, if you get my meaning).

OMG, I can't believe the epic last responder shifts my obstetrician wife is pulling so far in 2021 -- all those @#$%! millennials couldn't just binge-watch and keep their hands to themselves for a couple of months?
