There is only one correct line. Few men would think of it in time, being possessed, as is their wont, of only staircase wit*, or as our French friends would phrase it, "spirit of the escalator".**

If I dropped the turkey on the floor in front of everyone, the only proper thing to do is urinate on it in front of everyone. Urine kills all bacteria. Then it's safe to eat.
BETTER NOT say what you'd do in the duck scenario.
I couldn't come up with an answer to that one. I don't know what chemise is.

SEE? She thinks you are French because you live in FLORIDA. What did I tell you about the ethnic cleansing in your state? All Florida south of Okeechobee has been taken over by foreigners.

Move north, gringo.

I would put the turkey back into stove
