This Title Was Here When I Posted Originally, I Swear.

Friday. The day before Saturday. El grande day before the weekend. The ol' end of the work week. The Razzmatazz after the boringmatazz. Friday.

Did you know that Friday is the reason Moses told the Pharoah to let his people go was because it was the end of the day on a Friday and they had a kegger to get to?

It's also why Jesus walked on water. He wasn't gonna but they were drinking on a Friday night and Judas was all like "Hey! J-slice! I bet you can't walk on that water" and Jesus was all like "Hold my beer, bitch."

Assassination of Franz Ferdinand? It was a Sunday, but the assassins were hungover and grumpy from a rave on Friday.

The Beatles playing on the roof? Friday told them to do it.

The ooollll' crazy lazy Friday.

I was watching some YouTube the other day, as I do, and just kinda jumping from subject to subject. JWST in one video, Brooklyn 99 clips in another and then I stumbled upon some interviews with special forces veterans. Seals, Delta Force, CIA, etc. Those guys go through a lot of training, preparing them for everything they could possibly encounter, but for the most part, every mission they take is planned out. They know how to deal with possible issues that could arrive and every one does their job. But once in awhile there would be a story of one or two guys getting stuck in a situation where they have absolutely no information, no setup and just have to do everything on the fly.

Being that all these guys are extremely experienced and have the best training that money can buy, they have the tools to get the job done, but you know there also has to be some natural talent in there too. It's like the old saying that the best drummer in the world is probably some guy in the Brazilian rain forest that has never had contact with the outside world or a kid in a slum in Africa that has never seen a drum set.

It happens all too often that someone will just have a random natural talent that nobody saw coming and you gotta think, how many talents are we missing out on just because the person never had interest or the chance to try it and what's mine?

I've got lousy hands so puppetry of the penis is out. All my senses suck so I can't be a wine tester or anything like that. I am a fairly big but slow guy. I bet I could join the military and be pretty good cannon fodder. Or maybe a battering ram? Just have a bunch of guys swing me at a door?

It's hard to say from within myself though as I'm a little biased towards things I know about so I'll just guess the hidden talents of people I know and people from history.

Donald Trump: Given the right upbringing, I bet he'd be a great window washer.

Winston Churchill: Porn director.

Ghandi: Windmill Mechanic.

Ulysses S. Grant: Seamstress

Lenin: Gorilla Researcher

Pilot: Goat farmer

Rhonda: John Wick

First off - my favourite guy in the "Former CIA agent talking on a podcast" is the middle eastern looking dude with big hair like that guy from the NFL. He's like missing a tooth. Cool guy, bet he's a blast at parties.

Also I have friends who are legitimately former goat farmers - they made cheese specifically. It doesn't sound like a good time. That said, if I was compelled, maybe I'd be good at it. But I'd complain the ENTIRE TIME.
