Leftovers or Remnants?


I've seen a friend put one grape into a tupperware container and store it in the fridge to eat later.
I saw it with my own eyes! I swear!

I asked him why?

Because I can't eat it now. I'm full," he said.

Tupperware must love him.

Looking through other people's fridges is a real eye opener: salad dressing bottles with a few drops congealing at the bottom, half a piece of toast wrapped up in tinfoil, a fuzzy green blob of something that may have once been a small mouthful of cheese.

To bastardize Shakespeare:

Something from Denmark is in a state of rotting.

note: bathroom cabinets are worse usually.

Sponsored By ....


Countries should get companies to advertise on their flags.
I'd bet some countries could pay off their debts quickly and painlessly with the right sponsor.
Countries seem to take their flags a bit too seriously anyway.
It's just a bit of cloth.

The apple symbol or Colonel Sanders would look quite nice on the Canadian flag.

South Korea's flag already looks like the Pepsi symbol.

The U.S. flag could have 63 corporate sponsors (they have a big debt). One in each star and thirteen for the stripes. Stripe sponsors would have to pay more: stripes are bigger.

Maybe some of the richest countries don't need sponsors, but they could change their flags anyway. I'm sure an ad executive somewhere could come up with something better than stripes, triangles, crosses, stars, circles, or moons.

Advertising is everywhere anyway, why not make it work in your favour?
