Megnut mentioned one of those ‘net services a few days ago. The mylackey.com and askjeeves.com sites are nifty, to be sure, but I just found a place that is even more useful. While I was in San Diego this weekend Chris showed me Food.Com and I was astounded. What a wonderful web site! You enter your address and the site tells you which restaurants will deliver food to you. You can see the entire menu and pay by credit card. It’s like amazon.com for dinner! It is totally rocking cool. I’m very excited about it.
[Oh, and if everyone else in the world already knows about this place, shame on you for not telling me about it sooner!]

Marketing 101
I went to Jack in the Box last night and ordered a Sourdough Combo. (Yes, I wanted a free holiday ball.) “And can I get a small fry on the side?” … A modest request, right? “I’m sorry, there is no small. Would you like a medium fry?” <pause> “Fine.” Make simplicity a selling point.

People Can’t Drive
One of the reasons cell phones are such a hazard is that people hold them, keeping one of their hands from the wheel. That’s why many of the proposed laws ban hand-held cell phones. But that’s just a start. If holding a cell phone is dangerous, so is holding a hamburger. That’s why a law
Vegetable Slicer Thumb
Officials determined the thumb piece belonged to a cafeteria worker who had severed the top of her thumb in a vegetable slicer this week.
