OK, another silly - for the "foodies:"
Chocolate is a Vegetable. How do I know? Here's how:
>Chocolate is derived from cocoa beans. Bean = vegetable. Sugar is derived
>from either sugar CANE or sugar BEETS. Both are plants, which places them
>in
>the vegetable category. Thus, chocolate is a vegetable. To go one step
>further, chocolate candy bars also contain milk, which is dairy. So candy
>bars are a health food.
>
>Chocolate covered: Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, orange slices and
>strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want.
>
>If you've got melted chocolate all over your hands, you're eating it too
>slowly.

>The problem: How to get 2 pounds of chocolate home from the store in a hot

>Diet tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It'll take the edge off

>Chocolate has many preservatives. Preservatives make you look younger.

>Put 'eat chocolate' at the top of your list of things to do today. That

>A nice box of chocolates can provide your total daily intake of calories in

Geoff and Milo,

I'm confused. I don't understand why Milo liked the chicken joke best, first of all, since he didn't say, and I especially don't understand why Geoff deduced that Milo smokes just because Milo said he liked the chicken joke best. Will one of you please explain the malarkey exchanged between you two? And also please answer this question: Because I didn't understand the joke, does this intellectual lack on my part conclusively prove that I am incapable of ever understanding Finnegan's Wake even with a stack of reference books and a personal tutor?

Best regards,
WorriedWind

DubDub, I jumped to a conclusion WRT Milo's comments. Maybe he is a smoker, maybe not, but that's what I thunk he was referring to. Milum, your turn!

As for Finnegan's Wake, I thought that was the water being pushed aside as he was towed out to sea. And you think YOU don't understand it? Move over, girl, ya gots company!

musick, musick, musick! You must not be a true Chocoholic like I am then! I have used all of these excuses at one time or another to qualify the one pure pleaseure I had in my life...eating chocolate! Alas, those days are gone. One month ago, I was given a life sentence of a diagnosis of diabetes. No more chocolate for me. [crying-e]
