there's the rub...

see, I'm thinking about catered type situations...
there's always wine and cheese, but the cheese
is perhaps unfamiliar... it's not a moment for
experimenting, you know?

Plus, they never provide any sharp utensils (the
War On Terror must be fought on the home front),
just those douchewad 'cheese knives', sharp as
ping pong balls, and one doesn't want to make a
scene trying to slice off the rind.

I note that others face the same quandary,
as often at these functions, the wine and bread
and fruit will disappear, but the cheese wheels
remain virginal...

And livng dangerously will lengthen it?

Then why is "cheesy" a perjorative?
