Got through my first day as a permanent employee without getting fired, woohoo!
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

My anxious customer is wanting to get home to the hockey game. She's going to be a little late, and she's not happy.
You hockey people are weird. Howe are you going to survive an entire series?

One reason aside from botantical to count tomato as a fruit is it has a lot more sugar than most non-starchy veggies. So if you are watching calories but don't want to actually go to the trouble of counting it helps to think of a tomato as the equivalent of, say, a clementine, rather than as the equivalent of some mushrooms or a side of spinach. So in a context like the one where Teppy brought in up, nutrition, noting that a tomato is a fruit rather than a vegetable is more than pedantry. If we were comparing deliciousness, the distinction would be less important.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I am updating my resume, which is possibly more painful than job hunting.

Key phrase being "don't want to actually go to the trouble of counting" here, since a clementine has about triple the sugar of a similar-sized tomato and twice the calories. So yeah, if you don't actually count anything, they're more or less the same.

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
