You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Be especially wary if the solid material turns green.
And if it starts mooing.

Guy: I AM THE HELP DESK!
Hee. I've had that conversation.
Me: I need you to reset the password on the flibbertygibbet.
Help Desk: All right. Just give me your name and --
Me: It's not for me. It's for a user X.
Help Desk: I'm sorry, only authorized personnel --
Me: Yeah, I know. I'm on the list.
Help Desk: ... may I ask who's calling?
Me:
Your

By the time my brain catches up, it's too late.
Ah, yes. This makes sense. Because I'm always in the middle of something when the phone rings at work, and since I don't really care or want to know what they want, my brain just sits there like a grumpy slug.

I think the best way to conquer the food-poisoning chemicals is through judicious application of liquor, preferably tequila.
This works surprisingly well with colds and such also, though you have to be careful not to consume so much that you weaken your system in the process, or it will be reverse-effective.
A shot of tequila is actually fantastic for a sore throat and/or bronchitis.
Also, presence of solid material in the carton.
That's thin film on the top of the liquid, right?
It can be, though I was thinking chunks in the liquid.

It's tea! It's tea, and it's made with boiling water, and something good might come of it.
Hey, it's theories like that that made the sun never set on the British Empire.

The trick is to take a sniff before you look at the "best by" date. Then you're all objective and stuff.

Theodosia is wise.
Of course, the most science-y way is to do a double-blind test. But for that you'll need some fresh milk to serve as the control, plus some volunteers.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

I'ld never let it get that bad. (Although in college I let the salsa con queso dip get furry. I regreted opening that jar.)
