My mother got to where she never cleaned her coffee pot, just rinsed it. The brown stuff would build all up in it and when I visited I always had to scrub it out. She didn’t mind, she just wondered why on earth I was bothering.  She lost her sense of taste in her later years.

If cleaned improperly a percolator will make the coffee taste a little soapy for days.  Use of white vinegar is a good idea.

Oh then you will not want me to tell you about the procedures done on my eyes when I had retina detachments.  While I was fully awake.  The cataract surgery was much better, they put me out for that. Except right before I went to sleep the surgeon assured me he knew what he was doing; he’d watched a YouTube video on it.

He couldn’t pass muster as a standup comic, so he went into medicine.
