MOUTHPIECE - April 24, 2018

Good Afternoon,

It looks like Spring has finally sprung out there, but I'm still a bit hesitant to head outside. Who's with me?!

For those of you that decided to stay in I have another wonderfully entertaining edition of Mouthpiece ready to go.

If you're looking for a satisfying existence I have a great site for you to visit and learn about those little things that make life that much better. It's totally worth it. Trust me.

I just wish that reading Mouthpiece was on that list.

Mouthing Off,
Carl

And the hilarious irony of that is, it's often the dumbest, most mundane things that bring us the most happiness. Bubble wrap. Peeling the plastic off a new smartphone. We asked readers for their best examples of mundane things that are disproportionately satisfying.
