I quit eating my pancakes with syrup when I was young. I would always get syrup on the fork's handle and my hands would get sticky. I hated sticky hands. For many years I would use just butter on pancakes and waffles. I use syrup again. My fork and fingers occasionally get sticky but I just get up and rinse them off now. (Jerry makes the best pancakes!)
I was always sure that aliens were outside the house at night, hovering above the ground, looking into the house though the windows that didn't have curtains. One night I woke up and there there was a strange hum filling the room. It could only be an alien spacecraft hovering outside the room! But it turned out that I had fallen asleep with an old shortwave radio turned on and the turner had drifted off into a staticky spot. I still have weird feelings when I make a (still infrequent) nighttime trip to the bathroom. It takes a lot of effort to look out the window. I still have the feeling that a Martian will be there watching me. (Martians are perverts.)

I used to eat fried chicken and pizza with fork, because I hated sticky hands. By the way, according to the movie Red Planet Mars, the Martians are all good Christians.
Jerry's pancakes are good enough to eat without syrup.
I've always assumed that Martians are a friendly sort.
I won't go to sleep even now if a closet door is open.
I have the same closet-must-be-closed need, p-doobie.
I remember you using peanut butter on your pancakes, chuckbert.
Pancakes without peanut butter is like a day without sunshine...we might as well just go back to bed.
