Tea, stop!By Robin Abrahams
08:18 AM
I really should start claiming my herbal-tea expenditures as a tax deduction; I get so much good copy from it. Today's bag tag reads, "Life is a flow of love; your participation is requested." Nice use of the semicolon, but ewww! I don't really need to be sexually harassed by a cup of Digestive Ginger first thing in the morning. I'm flattered by the offer, D.G., but I'll be keeping my "flow of love" to myself, thanks. |
