| Not always.
Isn't it true that, when dining in a Mexican restaurant, one will continue to nibble on the tortilla chips and salsa even after the main course has been finished and the individual 'cannot eat another bite'?

| You're both hunting epeeists, so it's possible.
Ever gotten scrod (in a restaurant, that is)?

| A professor of English Literature from Oxford is visiting Boston for the first time. Upon getting in the cab at the airport, he tells the driver, "I would like to experience something unique and delicious about Boston. Where can you take me?"
The driver thinks about it and replies, "Well, sir, have you ever gotten scrod?"
The professor mulls it over and says, "Actually, yes, but I've never heard it referred to in the pluperfect subjunctive!"
Was it worth the wait?

| English professor gets into a cab in Boston, and asks the cabbie if there's a good place to get scrod.
The cabbie responds 'Uhhh, yeah, sure, but.....'
The professor asks, 'But?'
The cabbie replies, 'I've just never had anyone ask for it in the pluperfect subjunctive before.....'

Has anyone else been 'watching' the TdF online?

| You mean the Lance Armstrong Invitational?  I swear, that's all we ever hear about that race - what Lance had for breakfast, what color his shorts are, blah blah blah. As if nobody else in the world is in the bloody race. So, no. Not I.
Should I drive to KFC for some thighs, or make myself a PB&J for lunch?

| Why, no - I wasn't aware of any double entendres in *that* particular post.
Do you always look for hidden meanings in my posts?

| I don't have to look for them, they just jump off the screen. But don't worry, you're not alone, I'm just a letcherous old bear....
So what are you going to eat? | |

| improv. Though actually I think it's too late for me to make it to class. I'll just dance around the house.
Have you ever seen a penguin come to tea?

| Not too big. NOTHING like the monsters that live in New Orleans. And fly.
Why bring up the subject of roaches?

What car do you drive?
