I disagree. When you buy, say, a one pound bag of Hershey’s chocolate bars, they’re likely to come in tiny, little, individually wrapped units with the words “Fun Size” on them.
Fun size? How does small equal fun?
It’s just more packaging I have to tear through to get the proper amount of chocolate into my face. A “fun” size would be one where my pound of chocolate comes in one wrapper, instead of several dozen.
Hugh, those were my original thoughts, which have been festering in my mind for years. Did Carlin also express those sentiments? That’s pretty cool if he and I separately arrived at the same conclusion.
Hmmm….
Now you’ve got me wondering if maybe I saw one of his stand-up videos a long time ago, heard him say those things, internalized them, and then forgot their source?
Heh. Whenever I stay at a hotel, I’ll gather up the unopened itty-bitty ketchups from the room service trays in the hall in the morning, and take them home. They really do taste better…
I wonder if I could ask you for a favor? The revenoors around here have become quite pesky lately, and if you would be so kind as to inport some armo for me it would be deeply appreciated. If we don’t get a clean kill and only wing a couple, we’ll return the favor and do sacrifies of people body to your god.
With thanks in advance (and hoping this finds you in good health and spirits) I remain,
Sincerely yours,
Mother Thalweg
P.S. Just exactly which one is your god? (it would be terribly unseemly if we made sacrifies to the wrong one)
ST2, Maybe Ushindi should consider how tight he wants to get before he picks a BFF. DId you look at the BlueQ website? because Blue Q has some great products and you may wish to consider them as holiday gifts.
That Beatles video is great! They’re so young. It’s interesting to follow that one up with the famous rooftop concert, which was their last public appearance as The Beatles. Only a little over 5 years later, they look like they’ve lived about 30 years.

If you haven’t seen it before, the crowd’s reaction (as well as the police) are classic. I recall a quote from one policeman who didn’t want to shut down the concert because he was afraid to face his wife and tell her he was one of the ones who shut off The Beatles. :)

Notice how she doesn’t actually deny any of the accusations.

Makes one wonder how many “human bloods” goes into those small ketchups.

Is small ketchup in any way like small beer? If so, it cannot be “good,” sir!

Hey Flightsuit, thanks for the the George Carlin flashback.

Flight Suit, it does sound like Carlin, I may not have a lot of stuff but it’s the fun size.

Human Bloods, indeed!!
We also find that Teresa encourages Freedom of Speech and expression in public school!

Big things come in small packages, like dynamite. A short guy always uses this line.

I always carry a couple of tiny bottles of Tabasco Sauce – for food emergencies.
Good luck in the inport and export business, Teresa. It sounds kind of dangerous. Maybe you’d be better off hanging out with some old goat, after all.

If I start using LGFJ Sparkle Cream, will Jesus like me, really and truly?
It certainly seems worth the $3.49 to “get tight with Christ”…
