Hell, what do I know. I didn't watch either of the other weddings or divorces and not going to watch this one either. :p

I believe for this one you can get a season ticket that covers both the wedding and the divorce.

Hmmm what's the difference between a bread box and lunch box? Other than a couple of nuts:rofl:

A bread box sits on the counter top and is for storage.
A lunch box is a mobile device for transporting your midday meal from home to wherever you go. Well, if you're carrying a lunchbox, it's probably 'school'. Unless it looks like this, and then it's 'job site'.
When I was a kid, the new lunchbox was a back to school ritual.

And yes, a lunch box is smaller than a bread box. :)

It's so deeply engrained that it just oozes out if you try and clean it up.

Hello There
I thought i would reply to this thread with a amusing story (well i thought it was amusing) , When i visit the U.S for my re-enacting holidays , i normally bring English seaside rock from Paignton or Teignmouth (you know the stuff total sugar with the name written through the middle) , I bring enough for the whole re-enacting unit i am guesting with as a little thankyou .
So one year i headed down to Sunny florida with the 35th OHio Vol.Inf , for a lovely re-enactment.
I ask one member ...Would you like some rock ? , he replies i am sorry sir i dont DO that kind of thing , this happens several times . And i have a bag of 20-30 sticks of seaside rock nobody wants .
I keep asking various members '' would they like some rock'' , and now they are getting angry with me and i dont know why .
So eventually one of the older members comes up to me and asks me '' hey john , what exactly is rock ? '' so i explain all about english seaside rock , he looks at me smiles and laughs.
He asks me did i know what '' Rock'' was ? , no i say looking puzzled . He then explained that most of the 35th Ohio were made up of policemen from the Miami Dade police force , and i had in fact been offering rock cocaine to policemen.......my how i laughed NOT
Well once the little language barrier had been climbed over , everything was fine , and all of the seaside rock was snapped up by laughing coppers .
John :eek:
