(grin) Oh, this is lovely! Great teamy goodness. Thank you.

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it. Of course, it's easier when you can start from a good fic to begin with, so thanks for that, too.

That last line is a gem!

Do they really use the phrase 'milk jug' in the USA? That's a new one on me. In the UK, we'd only call it a jug if it was made of pottery. I had the oddest mental picture of Daniel with a pottery jug in his hand rather than a plastic bottle.

Doing a quick google does seem to confirm that "milk jug" is used for the kind of plastic milk container which has a handle, as well as the more usual term of a jug (pottery or otherwise) with milk in it.

In the original story, I used the term "plastic bottle", and left it vague as to what kind of plastic bottle it was.

[kool_momo_dee]

Yes, I was actually thrown a little by the term 'bottle' in the original story. At least in the part of the US where I live, a jug has a handle and a bottle doesn't, and milk usually comes either in a cardboard carton or a plastic container with a handle. Though we most often refer to milk containers by their capacity, i.e. 'gallon of milk', 'half-gallon of milk', etc.

And thank you so much for reading and commenting. It means a lot to me.

Ah. Since neither I nor the person who betaed "Trigger Finger" live in the US, this passed us by. In Australia, where I live, one can get milk in a cardboard carton (1 litre) or in a plastic bottle without a handle (1 litre) or in a plastic bottle with a handle (2 litre). And some brands of milk still use glass bottles.

I love the way you tell the story through the news reports, with the different people's ideas of what went on, and how the rest of the team react to it.

Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it. And your icon is adorable. :)
