I’ll check my supply of trite adages and see what else I can come up with. Of course, the one(s) I select may be apropos of nothing, but they will be better than...
Tom! Too Tall? Then he shall be officially Too Tall Tom. He must be ginormous to the Princess of Evil.
I just had my first ulcer cocktail of the day, with one to go. While I was at Walmart this morning, I saw a little bag of petite bananas, and though they were a little more expensive than the others, they are the perfect size for one ulcer cocktail.
I’ve been trying to get the smallest I could find, and use a half in each cocktail, but I often can’t find the small ones that are green enough to last two days. This will be a test as to how quickly they ripen compared to the others. I hate wasting bananas, but if I can’t find the smaller ones, I end up throwing away a third of a banana. (I only buy two bananas at a time, normally.)
Aha! Miss Kitten in my Weight Watchers meeting is a retired Home Ec. teacher, and one day she gave us all a lot of tips about produce. One was that, to make your bananas last, you cut the stems off as close as you can get without exposing the banana. Then you put it in the refrigerator. The skins will still darken, but the banana will be fine.
