Guys, I'm trying to look out for you.
• Tom in Virginia asks: I'm sitting in the Charlotte airport, and able to read today's column because the Wi-Fi works for a change. Because I spend a lot of time in airports, I pose the following: Do guys purposely spit their gum in urinals, or are there a suspiciously high number of accidental drops? It's so common, and I move along to a clear option, but I think about the custodian dude who knows, and I mean death-and-taxes knows, that will be a part of his shift today.

Also, I get your Superbar idea, but it will never happen. I will give you a minute to visualize what derelict behavior will inevitably follow the ribbon cutting.
Good weekend to you. Take your hats off indoors, gents.
• Chris from California is fired up: Until it showed up in your column I didnt even know "Dump Dinners" were a thing and having watched that video, now think they may be one of the dumbest things Ive ever seen.
