                        Never ask a half-baked
                        potato for advice. 
                        Never tell scrambled eggs to just pull
                        themselves together. 
                        Never bother trying to interrogate a hard-boiled
                        egg. 
                        Never ask a hot dog to dance, sing, or
                        play the piano. Same goes for a ham. 
                        Never refer to yourself as "toast"
                        in the presence of toast. 
                        Never taunt orange roughy unless you have
                        backup. 
                        Never say anything to skimmed
                        milk, or associate with it in any way. 
                        Never hit a cupcake up for money. You'll
                        just feel guilty afterward. 
                        Never (ever!) agree to let bacon take you home. 
                        Never let yourself be drawn into an
                        argument with rhubarb pie. 
                        Never give Spam your e-mail address. 
                        Never ask a tossed salad if it's OK. It
                        is. 
                        Never ask a cured fish about its past
                        unless you're close. 
                        Never be sardonic with sardines. (Its
                        OK to be sardinic.) 
                        Never ask an English muffin if it likes
                        soccer. ("It's called football,
                        you berk!") 
                        Never ask corn if it knows a good joke. 
                        Never ask salt why no one's ever heard of
                        Sgt. Salt's Lonely Hearts Club Band. You'd
                        be rubbing pepper into its wounds.  |
