A MANPAD by any other name would smell as sweet...

That gave me a really good laugh over my morning tea. Thank you very much. I am ready for the rest of the day now.

Glad you enjoyed it! I was giggling hysterically last night when I read it.

I must interject, at this point, that I spent Wednesday afternoon in the town of Bland, Missouri, buying a miniature bull for my herd of miniature cows.

While there, we marveled over the pitfalls of naming your business in the town of Bland-- home of the Bland Food Mart and the Bland Abstract Title Company, to name only two. O_o

O_o indeed! So you eat bland food, do you? *g*

With all of my various food allergies, you betcha. :-)

But not from the Bland Food Mart. We drove straight past that respected establishment, laughing our fool heads off all the way.
