There are a great many people who believe themselves to be Christian -
who are not.
There are many more who are Christian, but who have little or no
understanding of the faith they hold.
In the end, the only answer is: People are silly.

Don't blame me guv. The lime juice/chile mix used in Mexico for fruits
is also good on chips/fries. As is well-made gravy...

Gravy seems so... sinful. But then Hollandaise sauce is also
sinful....

I suppose that it is no surprise that the preacher co-worker was the least likely
to do anything charitable. Being in charge of the social fund, I was the one who
went around at Christmas to collect donations (money and toys) for the Salvation
Army. Out of more than 50 people working in the complex there was one person who
never donated...... the preacher.

Because they're not stupid? They target different language groups
with proslytisers of the same language. I used to live in a Portugese
neigbourhood and always got the Portugese speaking door knockers.
When living in Quebec I used to get the English speaking door
knocker.

It also means less junk to cart around as you only need the Watch
Tower in one language.

It seems possible to find JW's of any nationality. I once worked with
a Irish JW. Nice guy too.

But they spoke English. If they are truly out to break
racial/religious boundries, then there's no reason they shouldn't
have at least offered me a mag. Bonus opoints if they invite
themselves in for some coffee and a seron.

LOL nothing about food is 'sinful' and you just stop thinking that way
right now

Grew up with gravy on the chips (but no cheese curds) so it seems normal
to me. Then there is the sweet chile sauce a colleague brought back for
me from Honduras...

This was several years ago, so already consumed The sauce is meant to
use on chicken (yum) but of course had to try it on the chips. Not as
sweet as some of the Thai/Filipino sweet chile sauces. Was good on
grilled pork (after the grilling) too. Bottle wasn't large enough for
further experimentation

chile sauce.

No, that's wrong! A "fender" is a "wing"!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fender_(vehicle)

"Fender is the US English term for the part of an automobile, motorcycle
or other vehicle body that frames a wheel well. In British English, the
fender is called the wing (usually only refers to the panels over the
front wheel arches, in modern cars, since the rear 'fenders' are more an
integral part of the car's body shape) or a mudguard."

What we Yanks call a bumper is the rigid structure in the front and back
of autos that is typically bolted to shock absorbing structures. A
fender is the front and rear panels covering the wheel area. I've always
thought UK dudes called it a wing.

OTOH, I've been told that people in the UK will call a monkey wrench an
"adjustable spanner." I don't buy that for a second!

Not to be confused with the shock absorbers that connected the axle to
the body to help stabilize the vehicle.

A spanner is a wrench. Most people who use adjustable wrenches call them

Ketchup mixed with mustard.
Horseradish mayo.
Tartar sauce.

Just about anything, really.

Naked, most of the time.

Occasionally with cheese sauce.

And once in a while with brown gravy. Num.

And if I'm in Montreal, as poutine (with brown gravy and cheese
curds).
