Jason: I'm feeling really stupid today. It's as if someone took a hose and filled my head with air. I couldn't even tell you the atomic mass of vanadium right now. You'd think sympathy wouldn't be such a hard thing for people.
I know what he means. Yesterday I could not remember the definition of δικαιοσύνη for the life of me! After three cups of coffee, it started coming back to me, though.
Back in my college days, my test for having had too much was whether I could remember the ideal gas law. Unfortunately, it’s not that hard to remember. Eventually, though, I learned to count to two and stop. Hangovers are lessons learned the hard way.
Jason, sympathy only comes from other people when they can actually relate to your suffering. As hard as it may be for you to believe (or even conceive), most people couldn’t care less about the atomic mass of vanadium, much less whether you can recite it off the top of your head.

Thanks, Trapper, but those days are long gone. I may use that as a test of whether I’ve had enough coffee though!
