I think I have spent far too much time reading to small people judging from this list—grin—and, just in case, you will be asked to leave a Walmart recruiting drive if some preverse imp incites you start reciting “Green Eggs and Ham” when they are talking “In Sam I Trust”; true story folks. Also why one should never go job hunting after being up for 96 hours straight—not when you were working a good 60 of them.
