Perspective

Voiceover in the Barilla pasta ad:  "I believe that wheat is a gift from God."
Me to David: "I don't."*


*Although I do like to describe many, many things by quoting Phyllis_Schlafly's opinion of (no kidding) nuclear weapons:  A wonderful gift from a wise and loving God.

I don't see why not

My boss asked me about the annual holiday potluck:

My Boss:  What are employees encouraged to bring?

Me:  Very expensive alcohol.

My Boss:  Really.  So just desserts or  ...?

Me:  Desserts or side dishes.

My Boss:  Okay, thanks.  (Heading into his office)

Me:  And jewelry!
