You obviously haven't tried the own brand, economy priced pizzas some of the supermarkets have the audacity to put on their shelves.

Sir, I work at a grocery store. Of course I've had them. I've grown since then and typically grab a salad bowl now. You would be amazed at some of the things my coworkers eat on their lunch breaks. I've seen them eat an entire box of Pop-tarts in one sitting. Not good enough? How about a family-sized package of heat & eat mac and cheese? Should I continue?

Firstly: Please don't call me Sir, it makes me feel old.

Secondly: No, you needn't bother continuing. I've met similar people to the ones you describe.

I apologize, just part of my upbringing. You know, the usual US southern typical;  I call someone "sir" or "ma'am," and often get called, "boy." I often have to check my driver's license to make sure it has my real name on it.

I'm all for politeness. So, as The Who repeatedly say, right at the end of their nine minute, classic, and epic, mini rock opera, “A Quick One (While He's Away)”...

You are forgiven.

In my university days I could down a full pint of beer in under 3 seconds, which included the time taken to put the empty glass upside down on my head without getting my hair appreciably wet.

I think it may have had something to do with me having no gag reflex...   

 

[EDIT] (The British imperial pint is about 20% larger than the US pint, since the imperial pint consists of 20 imperial fluid ounces and the US liquid pint is 16 US fluid ounces. The imperial fluid ounce is about 4% smaller than the US fluid ounce.)

Back to me again.

With the exception of Frog Jumping today, it's a foodie day. Today's menu consists of Crouton's, Apple Pie, and Fruit Cocktail. On the International level, add Hummus.

I thought frogs hopped rather than jumped...

Frog jumping is a competition.

I haven't planted any tomatoes this year, and probably won't. My strawberries have a number of unripe fruits. I'm expecting it will be next month before they are fully ripening.
