"Handcrafted".

How do you handcraft a nut?

There's a killer joke in there someplace. I can feel it.

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".

Well, you guys do have a lawsuit happy culture where you can sue for the
coffee being too hot for millions of dollars

Us 'others' get a chuckle out of that sometimes.

We know most of you are smarter than that (atleast 49%, haha), but the
labels have to satisfy the simpletons in your country to prevent being sued.

Some people may think I'm a bad person for thinking this, I don't care,
but anyone who is stupid enough to hold hot coffee in their lap while
driving deserves to get burned. They need to stop awarding stupidity.

I keep waiting for such lawsuits to banned. I'm sure I'll die waiting.

It ain't the gubmint Wayne, it's the lawyers that work for the people
that sell the stuff. Sure as shooting some idiot would eat a boiled egg,
get a severe reaction, sue the market and win because there was no
warning label. USDA just says you have to list the ingredients nowadays.

Then you have to think about the people who have no idea where their
food comes from and how it's prepared. Sheesh!


I'm glad I grew up in an earlier era, George.

When congress voted itself 9 pay raises since 1997 and the
minimum wage stayed the same.
