    I had a coworker named Frank. Frank was not the smartest guy. He wasn’t even the biggest guy. But Frank could EAT. He took a first date to a pizza place once and split an 18" pizza. The date had a slice. Frank ate the rest.

    Around 2007 or so, there was this milk challenge thing floating around where people online were trying to drink a gallon of milk. All of them inevitably failed, because that is a shit load of milk. However, Frank was convinced that he could do it. So much so that he was willing to put money on it. We had a conversation like this.

    Me: Frank, no way can you drink a gallon of milk. It’s too much.

    Frank: Absolutely I can. Wait. Can it be chocolate milk?

    Me: Sure, Frank. Normal. Chocolate. Doesn’t matter.

    Frank: Oh then absolutely I can.

    As dumb as Frank was though, he was actually smart…ish on this one. Before doing it at work with money on the line, he wanted to do it at home first. So he went home that night and tried it.

    Next day, Frank surprisingly wasn’t at work. He had called in sick. When he finally came back, I asked him how his attempt went. Frank didn’t want to talk about it.
