Waddya Know?
I'm eating a York Peppermint Pattie when I taste something odd. It tastes like ground pepper.
So, for the first time in my life I finally tasted the "pepper" part of peppermint, and now I understand where it gets its name. I never tasted the peppery part of it before.
This entire thing included a moment of my brain being quite confused and saying, "Why on earth would I be tasting pepper in a peppermint pat....oh. Duh."
It only took 35 years to figure that one out.

Quote
From: The Unwritten Rules Of Social Relationships
If you allow your rage to rule you, you will become your own enemy. Not only that, but you will be stooping to the level of the people you dislike most. Lashing out at people in a rage is just as mean and nasty as any of the unfair things people have done to you.
Reading this quote intrigued me, because I realized that I have never been enraged. Really, really pissed, especially at stupid, angry customers, but never enraged. I've also been all manners of confused and fucked up trying to figure things out, but again, never enraged. I'm not sure if I know how to feel that way, and I'm not sure that I would ever want to.
