    I think you should give your wife her pants back.

    Any relationship based on who wears the pants is bound to fail. It's not wearing pants that is the key.

      One message "You could be a winner! No purchase nesessary. Details inside." is not as stupid as it may seem. If you have to buy something to win [a product, a ticket, a politician] then it stops being being a straight competition and becomes gambling and as you know gambling 'is bad'. IIRC this method was first used in the Merca but has spread over here as well.

          We had a melon salad on Sunday - Melon, Toms, Cucumber, Goats Cheese - and it was damned good.

            I read that as... "Melon, Toms, Cucumber, Goats, Cheese - and it was damned good." I needed to read it again to realize it wasn't goats and cheese. :)

                No, the warning is correct. Peanuts are legumes[^], not nuts. If there were only peanuts, the warning would not be needed.

                  A co-worker is allergic to tree nuts, not ground nuts (such as peanuts), So, there IS a significant difference...

                    I had a packet of Walnuts and Almonds with the disclaimer: May contain sunflower seeds. :confused:

                      Walkers Crisps should put a "may contain Crisps" warning on their packets.

                                Would that politically correct.

                                As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.
