Whenever I have something I know I'm not going to use, like
that shampoo I didn't like, I don't just toss it, I swish it
in the toilet as a cleaner. Heh. Hey ... why not?

And the lemon juice, they are always telling you to clean your
machine by running it with a bowl of vinegar, why not lemon
juice? Acid. Smells good.

One of the charitable trusts I was in charge of when I was a Senior
Trust Officer was one set up by the guy who patented Johnson's Baby
Shampoo. The original product was meant as a toilet bowl cleaner.

I am not kidding.

Please stick around for more useless information :-)

So, they didn't want their toilet to cry? (No More Tears, wasn't that
the motto?)

A friend calls me a "cesspool of useless information." I did win money
on Jeopardy in 1972 (pre Alex Trebeck and pre big payouts) A terrifying
experience!

Knowing useless facts is personally satisfying. Facts are useless if
you can't better yourself from them. They are just knowledge. They
could come in handy some day, but then, they wouldn't be useless
anymore.

Art Fleming?

I was never on Jeopardy, but a co-worker did call me "Clarissa Claven"
after discovering I knew a lot of trivia. I took it as a compliment
since I wasn't like the character from Cheers who pretty much made stuff
up. I actually do have a good memory... for lots of rather unimportant
things.

Becca says that if I could get paid for all the old song lyrics in my
head we would be Millionaires.

I know all the lyrics, but I can't carry a tune in a paper bag. I sing
at services because you are permitted to express faith in off-key. I
also like to sing show tunes when I'm a bit tipsy.

Art Fleming. I won $300 and sold the encyclopedia for a couple of
hundred more. It was perfect timing as the transmission in my old car
needed to be fixed.

I was the only one to get the final Jeopardy answer and two of us were
tied with the returning champ, who, of course returned.

So funny. Works great on the toilet, let's try it on the fuzzy
end of a baby!

It's only useless until you can amaze someone with it
at some later date.
