How hungry can a person be?

Last week on my way up to Goodrich, Michigan I made a stop on the way.

There was person in front of me that was purchashing an Egg Salad sandwhich. Now I know you may think that that's bad enough in itself. (In itself? that doesn't sound like proper english)

As they say on those Ronco commercials, "But wait, there's more!"

This was not a freshly made Egg Salad sandwhich, it was one of those pre packaged sandwhiches, "but wait, there's more!"

This was not a restaurant stop, not even a truck stop. This was at a Speedway gas station! Why on earth would anyone want to put an Egg Salad sandwhich into their bowels (a prepackeged Speedway sandwhich nonetheless) into their bowels during a road trip must only be to punish the other person in the car with them.

Conversation dont's

Recently someone I was talking to started off a conversation with this sentence:

"The other day I was watching a show about ice....."

O.K. If you EVER find yourself starting a conversation with "The other day I was watching a show about ice...." STOP. For the love of God, stop..

This is wrong on SO many levels.

1. You should not let people know that you actually had the time to watch a show about ice.

2. Say the word out loud to yourself "ice".. Does it sound like anything interesting can be said about ice? Unless it's a compound word like icepick, iceskate, icefishing, etc., Plus besides icepick even the words in that list are a stretch at the best.
