Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

I can never have a dinner party.

Sure you can. Make it BYOF.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I mostly use teaspoons to stir coffee, but I've just used the same spoon to measure the grounds, so using anything else for stirring makes no sense.

Pour the cream in the mug first, and then pour the coffee in the mug. Presto! No spoon required.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Chopsticks, baybee!

Juliana's answer works for Tom, too.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I only own three forks.

I can never have a dinner party.

What did I just say about TJ Maxx? I think people don't believe me. I would never buy kitchen supplies for full price.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Pour the cream in the mug first, and then pour the coffee in the mug. Presto! No spoon required.

But I'm saying I already needed the spoon to make the coffee in the first place.

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

There was the time when I had a group of Buffistas visiting, and I had to ask megan walker to bring a corkscrew with her along with a bottle of wine.

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

Pour the cream in the mug first, and then pour the coffee in the mug. Presto! No spoon required.

That technique is inadequate for dissolving the sugar.

I've had dinner parties where I had to borrow cutlery and plates. The last time I had more than two poeple over, I went to the dollar store and bought some dishes.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

What did I just say about TJ Maxx?

See the problem with that is, I can get a whole wardrobe there for $150, and then I get back to the housewares and think "Oh maybe next time."
