Here's one:

Quote:

He always brought home milk on Friday.

After a long hard week full of days he would burst through the door, his fatigue hidden behind a smile. There was an icy jug of Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz in his right hand. With his left hand he would grip my waist - I was always cooking dinner - and press the cold frostiness of the jug against my arm as he kissed my cheek. I would jump, mostly to gratify him after a time, and smile lovingly at him. He was a good man, a wonderful husband who always brought the milk on Friday, Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz.

Then there was that Friday, the terrible Friday that would ruin every Friday for the rest of my life. The door opened, but there was no bouyant greeting - no cold jug against the back of my arm. There was no Tuscan Whole Milk in his right hand, nor his left. There came no kiss. I watched as he sat down in a kitchen chair to remove his shoes. He wore no fatigue, but also no smile. I didn't speak, but turned back to the beans I had been stirring. I stirred until most of their little shrivelled skins floated to the surface of the cloudy water. Something was wrong, but it was vague wrongness that no amount of hard thought could give shape to.

Over dinner that night I casually inserted, "What happened to the milk?"
"Oh," he smiled sheepishly, glancing aside," I guess I forgot today."

That was when I knew. He was tired of this life with me, tired of bringing home the Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz. He was probably shoveling funds into a secret bank account, looking at apartments in town, casting furtive glances at cashiers and secretaries and waitresses. That's when I knew it was over. Some time later he moved in with a cashier from the Food Mart down the street. And me? Well, I've gone soy.
THEN go read the reviews for The Mountain Men's Three Wolf Moon Short Sleeve Tee:

Guaranteed to make you get women, and fly.

I know, the first time I stumbled on that page - via a link from Consumerist, I think - I had to scroll down to see if there were actually reviews for the product. That was the very first one. I'm just glad I wasn't taking a sip of something or I would've done a spit-take.

radioactive suppositories made men believe that they could be transformed from ‘weak discouraged men’ into strong, heroic males that would ‘bubble over with joyous vitality’

That explains why Jim was so happy.:haha:

product is shipped by weight, some settling of the product can be expected. :har::har::har::har:

I wonder if I will get into trouble if I order a lot of Uranium and insist that it all be shipped in one container to save shipping...tightly packed? :D

Every one knows that they are being constantly irradiated by the natural occuring radiatin from both the earth on which they live and the stuff coming from space.

Only Nuke sub crews who have spent many hours/days under water have recieved less radiation than the rest of us. We know that ...right?

The trial lawyers have found mesothelioma...don't you all feel better?

Did you know that when you are in space and you close your eyes is possible to see the radioactive particles that are passing though you. :DL

Its kind of like those.

The adult human body naturally contains deuterium (heavy water) equivalent to that in five grams of water.

Deutronium (heavy water) was used as a moderator. On its own it is not radio-active.
