Reminds me of the time it took me 18 months to put a puzzle together. I was so proud of myself because it says on the box “3 to 5 years”.

Every night, just for fun, Chuck Norris swallows a Rubiks Cube.
The next morning he craps it out—solved. He’s an amazing man.

I looked at an orange juice carton for four hours because it said concentrate.

Cute; when my sister was in the hospital about 35 years ago for a brain operation I used to visit every day for about 10 days; I noticed a jigsaw puzzle on a large table in a state of play early on and made a point to check it each day while in the waiting room along with other patient’s family members.

Some would play, insert a piece and then leave as their visiting times ended.

This went on until the last day of my sister’s stay and, as we were leaving the hospital I stopped back in for one last look at the nearly completed puzzle.

There it lay, a picture at last with but one flaw — in the top right margin someone had taped a note: “Missing one piece.”

How fitting, I thought as my mother, my sister and I headed home and another attempt at this puzzle called life.

The puzzles I always buy say “for people over the age of 5”.

Actually that is pretty sweet, where did you buy a puzzle like that?
