Congrats! smiley - bubbly

*rummages through her desk*

Here's some paper clips, post-it notes, a pen, and a little lint. Many happy returns!

With lint, there'll be no doubt many a happy return!

Lint is just one of those gifts that say "I love you". I think it's right after rubber, silver, and gold on the anniversary year list.

If only one could just skip the other's and go straight to the lint smiley - sigh . Oh well.

More tea? I've got some lemon, or sorts smiley - erm

Tell me about it--I think it's a conspiracy between Hallmark and DeBeers to make unsuspecting males buy expensive gewgaws for their significant others.

smiley - tea? Haven't we been through this before? I prefer cream and sugar.

I was simply hoping that you'd try the lemon product, 'ts all.

I do have some goat's milk- close enough to cream, right?

I also have some nutra sweet, or, alternatively, a bowl of sacchrine.

Bleeeecchhh! If you insist on lemons, how about making me some nice fresh lemonade! Nothing says "summer" like lemonade. That, an outside temperature of 100 degrees, and the pools of sweat behind my knees. And the squashed bugs on my windshield, and....

You forgot a person saying summer...

Fine, here's some lemonade then. No, it is supposed to be orange, I swear.

I feel I must complain to the management about the level of service I am receiving here. Orange lemonade, indeed.

Researcher 99947

Well, surely you wouldn't like the purple?

I'd complain to the management as well, but I haven't seen anyone around here in ages... other than you, of course. No, I didn't put anything of narcotic origin in it... come on, have a sip. Better than blue flog it is!

No narcotics? Now I *am* disappointed. I love nothing more than to be rendered unconscious by a tasty beverage.

What the heck's blue flog? Is that like a Blue Hawaii?

Researcher 99947

More like an LSD drink, with a sweet, yet tart, entirely robust fruity flavour.

The fruit talk back, as well...


Just curious...

Post 54

FG

Oh, goody! Do you think some fruit speak in other languages? What do mangoes speak? How about loganberries?

It all comes back to fruit for us, doesn't it?


Just curious...

Post 55

Researcher 99947

Or nuts.

I don't associate with blueberries, or practically any other berry, so I can't say what loganberries speak.

Mangoes, on the other hand, sound like mad jamaicans on a shopping spree.

Huh-I never figured you for a berry snob. What have you got against blueberries? I know they supported the military junta in El Salvador and all, but they have their good side as well. Think of all the money towards charity, the work with underprivileged children, the Nobel Peace Prize!


Just curious...

Researcher 99947

*Ahem* I believe that the last time any single group of blueberries, without direct assistance of a raspberry here and there, won a Peace prize was in 1943, just after the Apple Orchard disasters (aka The Fall of Apple Orchard disasters).

Give me your basic banana any day. Sleak suited, all businesses... what can you have against a fruit whose sex dress in the same clothes? Nothing, that's right buster.

Only that they voted Republican in the last election cycle--3 out of 4, the largest percentage of any general produce group. The general right-wing turn of the banana demographic has been alarming enough to make the Dems recruit heavily among the other tropical imports. The guavas in particular could prove to be the swing vote bloc.

They'll have a hard time swaying the vote of the Pineapples and the Kiwis- I hear they are devout green party members. Last time a Strawberry went into that bunch... well, I'd rather not bring it up

Shades of Chicago '68, I know.

*shakes head, ruefully*

Still, there's always nectarines, you know? Loyal to the end.
