>Next month, Wendy's will introduce a new premium deli sandwich, also in the Bay Area.
>Presumably advertised as their new range of finger-food.
umm, surely it would have to be advertised as their range of new finger food? One just wouldn't go all that far ...

yeahbut the beauty of it is that they only hafta supply the roll and salad, with specially shaped finger-holes for customers to insert their own digits. Is this what is meant by the digital divide...?

If this board were in print, I'd say something about how much fun it has been to thumb through your posts. But it isn't in print, so instead I'll ask a related question that pops into my head occasionally. Is there a web site that offers a search for well-known words and phrases that relate to each other? I find myself wondering about this when I hear radio and TV ads that use the kind of wordplay y'all are employing so well here with regard to the Wendy's incident. For example, a radio ad campaign for Giant Eagle, a grocery store chain, is playing on the word "lower" in this way: the voice tells how their brand of canned beans that usually costs $_ has now been lowered to $_. She rattles off about three such legitimate examples, then says that their Thousand Island Dressing has now been lowered to 900 Island Dressing, or that the store manager says he has gotten his ears lowered but that it's really only his haircut. So I wondered if advertising folks have sites to search easily online for useful word connections to make their jobs easier.

So does this mean we should get a cut?

And they can always say they never met a carpal tunneler they didn't like.
And those that don't go to clip joints will know about PIP and MIP joints, right, Dr. Bill?
