Quotations and bad mustard?

Ever read the Harty’s blog? Well, there are often funny quotes posted there by Julia. They often make me laugh even though I have little idea of the context. I have often scribbled down funny quotes from people, usually on whatever random scrap of paper I can find. Unfortunately this leads to the quote being thrown out a few days later. So here then, in a effort to not lose the quote and hopefully make you grin, are the recent quotes I have heard.

Nudity and wicker do not go hand in hand... there’s probably a website somewhere.
-Jay

Paul: It’s magic.
Simon: No it isn’t, it’s the force.
-Simon Harty, age 6, on magnetisim

Ya know... just me groovin’ at the wheel.
-Melanie Brown on car dancing while driving

Emma: I wish I had toes like you dad.
Melanie: It’s alright Emma, at least you have a normal sized second toe. See, mine is all
stumpy.
Emma: That’s okay Mommy, that’s your personality.

And on a completely random note, I have something to say about mustard. Everyone stop reading this and go look at the mustard container in the door of your refrigerator. I know you have one. Even if you don’t eat mustard there is one there. They often come with the house when you move in. What did you notice? If you are like most everyone else you will upon closer examination realize that your mustard expired about 2 years ago.

In looking in the frig last week, it occurred to me that the mustard we had in there had come from one of our first grocery shopping trips on island. That was 2 years ago! So it got me to think, “How old is that?” and “Does mustard expire?”.

Well according to the packaging it does. Can’t say I have heard of anyone hospitalized from bad mustard though. What does the “expiration” date really mean? I suspect it is a ploy to get you to throw out your old mustard and go and buy a new one. You know what I say? If Jay can eat frozen raw chicken fat by the handful, then I can use my expired mustard. (Yes, I have seen him do that. I still owe him $10).
