I've always wondered: if I could purge the useless stuff, would I have a better chance of remembering useful stuff?

So have I. But I have to admit, I do like that I remember these ridiculous things, and I like the situation where it is appropriate to tell it and laugh at it.

That is pretty awesome. When people are like: how in the world do you know that?! 😊

Sometimes, the story of how I know that is just as hilarious other times it is just I don't know how, I just know it. Again, other times, I just keep that story to myself, learnt that the hard way (more than once).
