OW! I've got a canker sore that really hurts! - Me (Elim)

Jeff- ah, salt water

me- huh?

Jeff- Take half a spoon of salt, dump it in a glass, swirl it around and swish it in your mouth.  It'll heal it.

me- ... that's all ya got?

Jeff- [blank stare]

me- I opened up the blog and everything!

Jeff- yep, that's all I've got.  Stop eating greasy food.

Did you know my Eustachian tube is Blocked? - Jeff Kew

Jeff:    That's it, there's nothing I can do.  It's just blocked.

Jeff:    If it's in pain, you can heat it up with a heating pad and the pain will go away.  But my ear's still blocked. 

Me:    Why does the heat make the pain go away?

Jeff:     It causes the muscles to relax, lets the mucus flush out.  Maybe that's what I need. Oh yeah! Thanks, that's what I need; a heating pad!  You've solved it!

Jeff on Wikipedia as a Self-Healing Encyclopedia

I  have no idea how we got on this topic, but I'm sure Jeff will remind me once he reads this post....

"Wikipedia is referred to as a self-correcting encyclopedia because you are corrected by your peers. If you disagree with your peers, you can correct or extend a post. If someone thinks you are blatantly wrong, or vandalizes a post, you can remove what is wrong. Wikipedia is essentially self-healing. "

Why I started this Blog- and Who is Jeff Kew?

Hi All,

My name is Elim and I work with a guy named Jeff Kew.  We sit in the same area, so I am exposed to his infinite wisdom (aka "wisdom") each and every day.  I thought it might be fun and interesting to start writing down his bits of knowledge because they are so random and SOMEBODY out there might find them useful. 

Some days, I sit at my desk with facts just pouring out of my ears.  Other days, I am lucky enough to have someone else in our area to take in all this informational education.

Anyway, without being too harsh on the guy, Jeff is a genuine, gold-hearted, hard-core nerd.  Sometimes he can be a prick (self-professed), but most times, he is helpful, kind, resourceful and understanding.

Let the knowledge begin!

Signing off,
Elim
