    If he’d changed the last word to “Sweetie,” he might be on his way to home base by now.

    KISS works best when you’re explaining why a complex item needs improvement. NOT when you’re discussing your relationship.

    Why acronyms shouldn’t be explained.

    A few days ago I learned here on Gocomics that LOL stands for Low on Linguini. I had completely misunderstood it all these years.

    KISS, like Occam’s Razor, does not in fact always apply.

    I do however believe that should apply to automobiles. I rented an Infiniti Q-something or other SUV recently and there was so much gadgetry and buttons that I didn’t know what at least half the stuff was even for.

    And even if you can figure it out, the manufacturers have taken away so much out of my control that I really hate new cars. I recently bought a 2014 Subaru (I have loved Subys for years, but even 2014 seems to new to me!) and it has lots of ways to set up the dash, but no way to display current engine temperature! I don’t want to wait for an alarm when things go wrong, I want to know how the engine is right now!
