When your head tells you there is a storm coming before the weatherman mentions it.
MY daughter's chiari tells me about the storm before the DDD in my neck does.
I love the one about the hair. I still have not found the one on my arm that always comes back. I still try to find it though and I keep hoping there actaully is one there. I have other people look for it too. LOL

You keep looking for that bug that bit you or that hair that is on your arm and sticking you but you never find it!!!
or you tell your co workers you'll be out for surgery and they say ,what you having brain surgery or somethin, and you say ,"actually yes", then they get the deer in the headlight look!!
Maybe your words are all messed up and you tell your child to go put his clothes in the garbage instead of the hamper and he is 7 so he does!!
Your husband thinks you have no common sense but you are really brainy,(now what)?

I'd suggest cutting back on blowing up balloons, and try not to poop more often than you have too. As for the sex - if it's worth it, GO FOR IT!

You enjoy the perks of using your brain surgery as an excuse;

"Shane, you messed up bad at work!"

"Sorry Boss, must be this damaged brain again."

"That's okay, son. Go take a break."
