Manager: “We have peanut but-tah, would you like to see that?”

Me: “Umm… Yeah, maybe.”

And then there was this incident with the razors. They look pretty innocent, right?

Look closely at the security tag on the back.

Security Tag

Dang, Gina, I never would have thought of that! Until they suggested it, of course.
