Ice cream comes in bags?
When you put the two half-gallons in a grocery bag to haul them from the chest freezer in the garage, it does.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Are there not supposed to be truffles in Saudi Arabia?
I'd like it to be known that I'm wearing the prettiest thing in my wardrobe right now--a pink 50s shirtdress with a wide panel of white lace running down the front (modesty is preserved with a pale cream vintage slip). I totally don't have the shoes to do this justice.
Just found out my sister is visiting me next (not this) weekend. With my mother. I'd known about the mother thing a little longer, but it's still a surprise. Which means I'll be shuttling them to tennis, and ditching them for previous social obligations.

Ah.
You have a garage?
It's possible that I have to write a business-related e-mail and am procrastinating.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
They have truffles in Saudi Arabia!
And no pigs to hunt for them?

well, truffles are usually found in a forest, growing under a log or something, in the damp. Not much damp in Saudi Arabia. Or forest. Or logs. I mean, the only damp I can think of is man made. Or digging 3 feet into the sand at night.

They only have them when it rains. But they are there.

"embarrassment in not an exemption."
So true.
That said, I did find a memo once, written to a nun, with the sign-off "May the Force be with you." !!!
So funny!
Truffles of the mushroomy kind? I'm guessing chocolate truffles wouldn't be so much of a surprise.

I'm taking a poll: Who here either uses or receives serious business e-mail that seriously uses emoticons?
I have received e-mail from a manager that, in all seriousness, used multiple emoticons.
I replied: "Seriously? ':)'?
You weren't a business major, were you?"
