What's mildly amusing you today? - Page 19

When I am ready to bring a customer into my office, I get on the intercom and page the salesman. When I say, for example, "Franklin Smith, come on down!" that's the code that means for them to bring the customer with them.

I'm working on paperwork for one Robert Barker right now.

I am mildly amused.

Do it. Because a guy named Bob Barker has never heard Price is Right jokes before

Why don't you offer him a set of free floor mats (or something) if he can guess the correct retail price of undercoating or extended warranty service or something.

EDIT: A day late and a dollar short. Never mind.

While picking up an rx for my mom I picked up a Pepsi. I'm sitting here looking at the label and it says it is a 'Throwback' Pepsi made 'with real sugar-for a limited time' lol

It's amusing using anything real is only for a limited time.

I guess Pepsi started using HFCS in the 80s. I didn't know that!
I mean I didn't realize there was ever a switch. I guess I am not the label reader I thought I was.

lumberjim · 02-05-2010, 10:13 PM

did it taste any better?

skysidhe · 02-05-2010, 10:35 PM

Yes I like it better BUT it is probably just nostalgia skewing my perceptions.

I need to do a blind taste test to know for sure. Definite cane sugar taste though.

lumberjim · 02-05-2010, 10:50 PM

like a pepsi challenge?

you got a video camera?

jinx · 02-05-2010, 10:51 PM

I took the pepsi challenge at the NY state fair. I picked pepsi.

skysidhe · 02-05-2010, 10:56 PM

I like caffeine free diet coke recently.

I would be curious which I would choose in a challenge though.

No video camera. yay!

Caffeine free diet coke? No caffeine and no sugar(hfcs), why bother? I'd be pinging on the hills, with that stuff.

well I don't drink it always. I just have it on hand. There is a member of the household who is blessed with the ability to turn sugar and caffeine into an all nighter.
( not me )

I do think it tastes better than the diet coke or any other diet except for the sierra mist diet.

That's what an engine does when the octane of the fuel isn't high enough.

PARSIPPANY – Two out-of-town teenagers were held by police Thursday night after they drew a 25-foot penis in the snow on Parsippany High School’s front lawn, police said.

Parsippany Police Officer Steven Miller saw the 17-year-old boys using their feet to outline the lewd image around 11:30 p.m., said Sgt. Yvonne Christiano, a police spokeswoman. Miller caught them soon after they left the school in a vehicle, she said.

One of the teens, of Boonton, was arrested on a $215 traffic warrant that had been issued in Montville for failing to provide driving documents, she said. He was turned over to his father.

The other teen, of Montville, was ordered to erase the image as Parsippany Police Officer Robert Appel stood by.

Police did not charge the teens, who were not named by authorities.
