I once was sharing the 'differences' with some people I worked with, when one woman asked me a question. She said she and her husband had been on a cruise ship and some English travellers suddenly gave her a strange look. She was still trying to figure out what she'd said to offend them, so she innocently asked me:

"Do you know what 'bugger' means?"

This is where you break out the "Well, you see, when two men love each other very much..." speech.

1/2 and 1/2 mix of ice tea and lemonade.

Real good stuff.

I believe that's called an "Arnold Palmer". It is good stuff, indeed.

No, I just casually said something about doing it the way the gay boys do it...

I've seen women blush before, but never quite that color. I would describe it as "tomato red".

Yes Arizona Ice Tea markets it with Arnold Palmer's likeness, and at .99 cents for a big 24 oz can you can't go wrong on a hot day.

But you can make it at home too with Kool Aid packets and ice tea mixed together. I like to use the unsweetened ice tea mix and add a splenda knock off for sweeting.

EDIT: I'm still waiting for someone here to post: "Tea, Earl Gray, Hot".

Tea,Yorkshire, Hot... milk & 2 sugars.

Seems to have lost some of the 'snap' to it, oh well.

One way or the other, I shall continue to enjoy tea the way it is best enjoyed; unsweetened, and ice cold, served in a tall glass

You sir are a heretic and shall be recieving no further correspondance from me. Good day to you.

Good grief, get a hotel room already. Are you atleast bringing flowers, maybe dinner?

Cold tea is not a bad way of taking the heat out of sunburn when applied to the skin, but drinking it? I prefer my POW, EBT or IBT near boiling black with one sugar.
