Sorry, I’m a little late to the party here, but was searching the web for news from my hometown and dang – wouldn’t you know it took me here. We used to live next door to the R’s in Calamine, Kentucky. I knowed Stephanie since I was a boy and don’t you listen to her. She ain’t had no molars since about 1974. If y’all hear from her lawyer about that tooth, feel free to give me a hollar and I’ll tell him what I knows.

No, it’s just careful observance during dinner.

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. It must be that prison educational system.

Fish parts include those items that are attached. Things like algae, leeches, snails, seaweed, shoelaces, or anything else that may have been swallowed by the fish before processing.

Due to a really hectic week at the office I am unable to compose a response to your recycled article…

So, I found a correspondence I wrote previously that I could just drop and paste here.

From June 1982,

To the makers of Generic brand products.

Sirs,

I wish to thank you for all your wonderful products. Being newly married and incredibly poor, my wife Cathy and I have become great fans of your various food and cleaning items.

We walk down the last isle of the grocery store and fill our basket with your ingeniously packaged black and white cans and boxes.

We have however a question re: Generic Fish Sticks.

We noticed that the 1st (and therefore primary) ingredient is “batter”. This is not really a problem with us as the deep fried batter is actually very good.

The 2nd ingredient (we noticed) is “fish”. Not really a problem either except in as it relates to not being the primary ingredient.

It is the 3rd ingredient defined on your package you as “fish parts” that concerns us.

The 2 questions that come to mind:

What exactly are “fish parts”?

And

What is so radically different about them (as opposed to fish) that causes them to be listed as a separate ingredient?

Regards,

John & Cathy

While final exams are important, does this have anything to do with 17? Maybe you just wanted to keep your posts in the proper numerical order.

Should one watch the Couch while drinking Walmart beer? That seems a bit iffy as well.

It’s okay — I’m all for recycling. Do well on those exams!

Good luck on your final exams. (I hate it when people tell me that because it forces the realization that luck may be the only positive force behind a passing grade. I’m sure, however, that your think-box is ready for the interrogation)
