Lemons and oranges are good too...
What would Patton do...? 
Yeah I know: I've been branded a non-group person - doesn't play well with others. I am so upset.
Let me know if you want to have some fun, without the drama - I'm good for that.

One of my nutrition lectures in school talked about scurvy. The prof had seen just one case of it in Saint Louis during his many years of practice. It was in gent who subsisted entirely on the three B's - Beer, Bacon and Bread. The obvious solution was switch from the local favorite brew, Bud, to Corona with a lime....... at least on weekends. 
Be happy for this moment. This moment...is your life.

I didn't even think of the lime wedge with a Corona, that's a good idea! 9 Coronas ought to cure you of scurvy.
