Post hoc ergo propter hoc

Well I started growing my Fall hunting beard. Figures. My turn came up on the Wolfman waiting list!
Sooooo. If you start growing a beard, your turn will come up on the Wolfman waiting list.
I ordered the WR-2 standard finish.

My dad used to use that phrase all the time. He was a dermatologist and he would say that chocolate had nothing to do with acne. Teenagers just eat a lot of chocolate and are prone to breaking out anyway. Since you won't be shaving your beard, try shaving your head for hunting season.

I remembered that from my public speaking class circa 1968.

I think my dad used to tell me to shut the hell up and eat my cereal before it got soggy. He didn't have an ivy league education...

Damn good advice. I don’t have an Ivy League education either. I have a knack for remembering mostly useless information and every joke I’ve heard since grade school.

About the only one I remember isn't even Latin but all first year law students have heard it for decades:

Illegitimi non carborundum​

It's supposed to mean something along the lines of, Don't let the bastards grind you down.

BTW, first year of law school was as far as I went. Too much Latin!

West Wing episode for me.

This was my first thought too.

Res gestae, ratio decidendi and quid pro quo

Res ipsa loquitur.

The cause of my weepers?

I thought this was a "shaving scenes in West Wing" thread.

I have a knack for trivia as well. It's not as useful as most think. And if you watch Jeopardy with friends you end up looking like a freak.

In the end you are way ahead!!! Enjoy your new Wolfman!
