#3 Dumbasses. Process, not location, determines what kind of cheese it is. Absolute bottle-size-determining power corrupts absolutely.

#12 This has intercultural incident written all over it. Better book time at the ICC / ICJ / QRSTUVWXYZ. And call del Ponte and make sure she's available. Gonna be ugly. Better up the global "fair share" tax from 7% to 8% to cover it.

#13 I saw us 'Merkins' start selling Pheta, pfeta, and feshizzle cheese at 1/2 the price of Feta. our logo could be:

"Pheta/Pfeta or Feshizzle. Its the other white crumbly cheese."
