I decided it would be a good idea to leave the house at least once today, so I walked down to this little zine shop in my neighborhood. I overheard a conversation that I will not soon forget. Allow me to share it with you.
Male Employee: Hey, do you want one of these gummi candies?
Female Employee: I don't know. What's in them? (She takes the bag, reads ingredient list.) Um, yeah, I can't have these.
Male Employee: Why not?
Female Employee: They have muscat in them.
Male Employee: What's wrong with that?
Female Employee: That's some kind of little animal, right?
Male Employee: Noooo, muscat, not MUSKRAT! Muscat is a green grape! HA!
Female Employee: Oh. (She does not crack a smile.)
Male Employee: So, do you want one?
Female Employee: No. Too much sugar. I'm trying to cut my sugar. I'm trying to cut back on
a lot of things.
Yeah, no kidding! Her total fun/enjoyment of life intake must be at an all-time-low. Muscat! HA!

oh my god, that conversation rules the schools!
here a conversation I was witness/vitcim of:
Location: Elevator
Time: 9:12 am
Ted: No, I didn't go, i was feeling sick from some pizza related food poisoning.
CFO of my company: I hope you're feeling better.
Ted: Yeah, i think I'm fine, but no else else got sick so maybe it was an allergy or something.
Office Lady from another floor (and a Total Stranger): Watch out for the cold that is going around that can give you a fever and put you in a coma...
(we step out from the elevator)
..I'm serious, it's killing people!
Well, I don't know about muscrat, but my favorite nutria flavored gummi candy is VERY fattening, and makes me a wee-bit gassy.
