Sitting Next to a Knight

I went to church today, and I was sitting there waiting for the service to start. A couple came into my row and sat in the seats next to me. At first, the woman was positioned in the seat closest to me, but then unexpectedly, the man switched seats with her. It struck me that he did it to shield his wife from this strange man sitting alone in the row. It was funny that he’d feel the need to do that in church. But it was also sweet that he’d chivalrously do that for her at all.

Gender Identification

My spousal unit discovered that she had an issue today in her lab. When breeding mice, it’s important to keep track of which is male and which is female. But what do you do when the mice identify as a different gender than the one assigned at birth? She couldn’t figure out which cage to put them in. Some requested special accommodations, and others got their lawyers involved. By the time she got it all sorted, the mice were too old to be used, and the whole experiment was scrapped. Just when she thought she finally had a plan, some of the mice requested gender reassignment. Then, my spousal unit had to remove them from the experiment, because they had an unfair advantage over the other mice!
