  • oroboros commented on the word short and sweet

    One guy introduced himself saying, "My name is Short And Sweet...that's right, I mean literally--my real name is Short And Sweet." He popped an hors d'oeuvre, then added, "My middle name however happens to be--I Guess You Wonder Why I Have Such A Surprisingly Brief And Abrupt Name." He then wandered off looking for a drink.
