“Hey! You expect me to take a bath in this damn pot? It done got Missionary fat-scum round the rim, bitch.”

I thought the baby’s expression was funny, tmar. Still do. As though African babies talk like Arnold from Diffrnt Strokes (if he said Bitch, shame he didn’t) *chuckles*

Living in Australia, I get stupid questions like that too. Substitute kangaroos for lions and so on. It’s especially funny online when I’m obviously somehow using the interwebs 😉

I thought all American homes had running milk until just now; pumped from central storage units located underneath local parks, like gas station tanks.

The idea (thinking about it) comes from the fact your milk cartons in tv shows and movies feature missing persons, so look like props. Also, that (cartons) can’t be where the milk really comes from in such an advanced technological country.

Besides, I’ve seen pictures of a milk truck unloading into a park storage facility.

So glad I don’t feel like a wide-eyed hick, Phyreblade! I knew it seemed weird, but yeah.

Sad truth? But surely there’s a boutique milk carton industry blossoming somewhere in that great land of tapped milk and honey. Probably in California, somewhere. Milk cartons filled with milk, labelled with a Missing Person (fictional and ironic) all for $6.98 a quart.

So you can have the best of both worlds.
