I am fairly confident, that with a well-written and emotionally-laden testimony, you could get a cash settlement, or at the very least, a COUPON, from Brown Cow.

I have had very good luck with diplomatic complaining.
Earned several boxes of rice pilaf by venting about one unshelled hazelnut. Could help with the food budget in a tough economy, dude.

Conversely, it also works nicely by sending suck-up letters. My college friend, with the last name SLICE sent a letter to PepsiCo, and was sent boxloads of swag with “SLICE” on it.

I once bit into a corn chip and the point stuck into my gum behind my front teeth and drew blood. Deadly corn chips. Film at 11.

Yes, Nazareth could’ve made a ballad out of that: “Oeeh, Hoeee, Ypg hurts.”

#50, Pete: the moment I read this entry I had to think of James Nicoll as well.

And now we all know what a valuable warning we lost when Americans dropped the h in yoghurt.

I actually was in the camp “how the hell….?” Then I told my wife. And she promptly informed me that, yes in fact a person can cut themselves on yogurt. And that she has. So I now actually believe that you can do anything. Scary, dude.

My guess is that part of the “how” has to do with the non-fat quality of the yogurt. I still find it hard to believe. Are you sure there wasn’t a fragment of plastic wrapper disguised in the yogurt?

Super glue. Close that whole up like a couple of sutures.
Looks more painful than a paper cut on the skin between the fingers.

Yogurt? Yogurt? Well I really do have to admit that that is a first for me. I mean, I could totally understand maybe a granola bar wrapper, or even a piece of cheddar... sharp cheddar that is, but come on... yogurt? Well maybe it was actually a semi-intelligent form of alien yogurt that was just trying to protect itself and and you approached it in what it perceived as a hostile manner and it struck out with its' morphing capability in an effort to try to scare you off. :-)

And I thought I had set an impossible level to best when I broke my arm by falling off a swimming pool. You just outdid me.

In fact, I think you just had your own bluemarsupial moment.

This explains why I’m so careful when I open my yoghurt.

Of course, that’s mostly just because I don’t want to get any on me.
