From the Author:

Salutations.

I am JaiChai.

And if I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting you before, I’m delighted to make your acquaintance now.

Puerile Inclinations —

To this day, I still have a tendency towards childish behavior, especially after a few beers.

Of course, I make sure that my antics don’t result in any bodily harm or permanent damage to someone’s pets or personal property. The harshest outcome from my juvenile pranks has been, at most, a bruised ego here and there.

Conduct Unbefitting a Grown Man! —

After just a few minutes exposure to my warped sense of humor, most people start wondering, “What planet is this guy from?!”

The next shock comes when, in spite of a young, almost boyish appearance, they’re watching a 57+ year-old guy having a Hell of a good time doing those silly, immature things!

What kinds of mischievous acts are within JaiChai’s repertoire, you ask?

OK. Here’s one of my favorites:

I have a genetic trait that enables me to visibly turn my tongue upside down and then flip it right-side up again. Seriously, this is no joke.

In fact, I can do this maneuver as many times as desired AND at speeds that mimic “fast-forward” OR “slow- motion”.

This stunt has garnered me quite a few free beers in the past and bolsters my firm belief in this:

Additionally, this “tongue acrobatic act” (or what I like to call “The Lost Ancient Art and Science of Tracing the Lotus Flower”) produces visible enthusiasm amongst my buddies’ wives and girlfriends; and of course, visible envy in said buddies.

Most importantly, it gives my girlfriend a “special” kind of pride and a “certain” type of satisfaction…

Here’s to childish behavior and benefits reaped in real life use cases!

About the Author —

Image by Author

Believing that school was too boring, he dropped out of High School early; only to earn an AA, BS and MBA in less than 4 years much later in life — while working full-time as a Navy/Marine Corps Medic.

In spite of a fear of heights and deep water, he performed high altitude, free-fall parachute jumps and hazardous diving ops in deep, open ocean water.

After 24 years of active duty, he retired in Asia.

Since then, he’s been a full-time, single papa and actively pursuing his varied passions (Writing, Disruptive Technology, Computer Science and Cryptocurrency — plus more hobbies too boring or bizarre for most folk).

He lives on an island paradise with his teenage daughter, longtime girlfriend and two dogs.
