OT-- I speak 'shop' to auto salvage yards

So true. I wonder if a NYC hardware, you'd have to say "fuggeddabouddit"?

I've wondered if I could order lunch at my favorite pizza shop, wordlessly. After all, I've had the same order for the last ten plus years.

No words are needed in a real hardware store, if you have the old item. Unless they have multiple price ranges to chose from.

WW2 may have been prolonged because the Japanese response to the July

1945 peace feeler included an ambiguous phrase translatable as 'Think little of [something]" or its opposite "Think nothing of it".

I sincerely don't believe he meant for you to "wave -your- bad parts in their face." Win.

Communication is tricky.

In a documentary I saw last night, _Revenge of the Electric Car_ Carlos Ghosn, CEO & President, Nissan appears to say at one point "I'm not sure I know." From context and body language, it is much more likely that he really said "I'm not unsure. I know."

Those two ideas differ somewhat. :)

I got a pizza yesterday. The girl behind the counter saw me coming and was smiling, then pretended she didn't know what my 'usual' was before handing it to me. 35 years ago I worked second shift at a defense plant A local pizza place had a buffet on night a week, and a dozen of us would hurry there to eat and get back on our half hour break. They would have our 'usuals' made and in the oven when we were due. In spite of a big sign that said that you couldn't take a whole pizza to your table, they would bring out five and put them on or table, all without saying a word. :)

I guess that you really do have to explain E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G to some people? ;-)

Who are you and what have you done with Larry!?

Dood! I've been waiting for you to jump on that line!

Explain what? You spelled it out, cheater. Larry told you I can't read, didn't he?

Grr. :)

That's Audrey Farber or Betty Jo Bialowski, rather!

Apparently you didn't wave it hard enough! ;-)

I had to wait until it was quoted. He's in my filters.

My mistake. Egad, I know that dialog by heart. How -could- I?

I made a caper sauce tonight for baked salmon. I loved it, but my wife did not agree.

Welcome, David. You may wait here in the sitting room or you can sit here in the waiting room. :)

Sounds like Heaven!

Does she not enjoy salmon? Is that even possible?

She LOVES salmon. She just didn't like the sauce I made. I made the mistake of using my own recipe -- white sauce, capers, bacon bits and lemon juice.

The capers are too sour for her, although I use them in a mushroom cream sauce (with balsamic vinegar) for chicken breasts and she loves that. Too many capers, I guess.

I'll never make chef, because, if it wasn't my wife, I would have tenderized her fingers with the meat mallet.

And he never fails to bring up some unnamed offense. :(
