    Is that Camilla’s face mystically charred into the toast?

    Whatever you do, Mr. Peterman, don’t leave that slice of toast in your office fridge. Remember what happened last time.

    He can’t be upper crust if they’re cut off…

      That reminds me of a Benny Hill joke (or at least one told by him): “She’s very high class. She only goes out with the upper set. She keeps the lower set in a little glass beside the bed.”

    “. . .and now we will begin bidding on the royal butter pat, starting at 50 pounds.  As you can see, it is real butter, and not the vulgar margarine of the common rabble.”

     $360?  For that price it better be the most delicious piece of toast ever.

    Some people just don’t deserve to have money. That toast is almost as old as I am! There’s no way it’s still edible, and even if it was, would you want to risk catching juglugitis?

      Your search - juglugitis - did not match any documents.

         Google apparently doesn’t like our traditional nick-name for Charlie…

  • SummerFang

    What’s so great about that?  I have a leftover piece of toast here that wasn’t eaten by lots of famous people!

  • Sigmund_Jung

    Only 360.00? I believe people stupid enough to buy it should lose more than that.
    That’s a small price to pay for being an airhead.

    That’s just a Cinnamon Toast Crunch on a tiny plate.

  • Tor Lillqvist

    LOL, I guess the seller had imagined getting several orders of magnitude more.
