Not Quaking But

After a very pleasant work lunch I am slumped at my desk with the brain in neutral* while the body focuses all resources on digestion. Someone at the table ordered quail. Someone else was heard to remark, while pointing at the frail little legs, "Look, it even comes with its own toothpicks."



*Favourite saying of The Fuehrer and subsequently of Ern: Puts the brain in neutral and lets the tongue idle on.

Someone was able to order quail at a work lunch? How nice!

LOL to both of you... I work for the Salvos and most of them are so conservative that they think beef and blackbean is a very exotic choice.
