What is the correct response though? (with apologies to Edmond Rostand)
The mother goose approach: Peter Piper Pecked a pair of Pickled Pillows! The Clerks Approach: You want fries with that? The ethnic approach: Finally, they're kosher! The Gallant approach: Let me help you spread that around. The Uncouth Approach: I got yer pickle right here The sheep approach: Pass the jar! The Surreal approach: Twas brillig and the slythy toves... The Petulant approach: I wanted coleslaw! The Oedipal approach: mmm mmm mmnyah
Sure, it's not comedy gold but I bet ole eddy spent a week on that first scene of Cyrano and I only took two minutes.
i don't know what your mama taught you, but i was told it was rude not to celebrate such an occasion! and then, of course, be a helpful little girl and assist in clean up. =)
I couldn't remember the correct response, so I checked in Miss Manners. According to her, it's "That's too bad, dear; would you like some tea to wash it down?"
That struck me as a bit odd, so I required Sandra Day O'Conner to spill some pickle juice there by accident, and said that to her. She gave me a look like I'm utterly rude and vaguely insane.
Am I missing something here? Has Miss Manners failed me?
