      I was talking with my wife about that a couple weeks ago, how I can remember my childhood home phone number, but don’t even know my own actual phone number.

    I had a lab TA in college who made it a point to teach everyone how to pronounce his name. But that’s about it. He wouldn’t help you unless you an attractive blonde woman.

    So fuck you, Ashitosh.
