How do you handcraft a nut?


I've got one for you. At the Publix grocery stores here they sell
packaged, prepeeled boiled eggs in the deli section.

This is printed on the nutrition information section of the label,
"Allergen information : Contains eggs".

The cheese sold at my co-op (The Wedge, MPLS) carries the caution that
it contains milk.

I don't know whether this is because of a dumb labeling law, or dumb
interpretation of a labeling law.

ROTF! DUH!

At exactly what point did the government decide we were all
simpletons? :-)

During the first Adams administration, I believe.

Are you both referring to the suit against McDonald's?

She wasn't driving, her grandson was.

The car was stopped.

Nobody knows how much money she got. The final settlement was out of
court, and a condition was that nobody reveal the amount.

McDonald's had already been sued 700 times for this.

In the late 60's a relative was hired by a small, poor, remote Vermont
school district to be both principal and kindergarten teacher. She was
shocked that the kids in her class had so little knowledge of food.

She had them make, in class, bread, applesauce, butter, and pickles.
They had no idea how any of those were made, but were astounded that
pickles came from cucumbers!

Stupidity is awarded by God at birth. The problem is it keeps being
*rewarded*.

Most people are glaringly ignorant of the case. The woman deserved
the award - IIRC it has been reported to be around 300K which was a
pittance.

I used to drink and drive. Coffee, that is.

Then I came to the conclusion I might as well pour a third of it on my
pecker to start with and avoid the surprise.

The worst incident ever was the time I was riding behind a school bus. The
bus was making stops at almost every house. I was idling in first gear with
a stick shift so I never really had to stop and I was maintaining a
respectable distance behind the bus.

The coffee was between my legs and the motor coughed. When that happened I
involuntarily stomped the gas pedal to the floor making things even worse.

Running wide open in agonizing pain toward the ass end of a school bus ain't
the best way to start your day.

My buddy riding with me was yelling, "What the Hell are you doing!?!?!"

Logic took over and I did the clutch and brake thing just as I threw that
Goddamned styrofoam cup out the window.

These days I always put enough ice in my coffee to bring it down a notch
from the hellish temps they deem neccessary at 7-11.

Reminds me of the time in the dim and distant past, when my
cousin and I carefully opened a walnut, replaced the innards with
an actual metal hardware nut, and resealed the walnut. Someone
got an interesting surprise. Hopefully, they looked before they
ate (kind of hard not to).
