Happy Birthday, White Guy!

Sarah C. writes, 

"I was answering a hundred questions while ordering the cake for my husband, Guy's, birthday.

'Cake?'

'Yellow.'

'Icing?'

'Buttercream.'

'What do you want it to say?'

'Happy Birthday, Guy.'

'What color do you want that written in?'

'White.'

"When I went back to pick it up, the woman at the bakery - who wasn't the decorator - gave me a strange look."

And I think I see why:

"And all the fishes say I'm pretty fly for a (White) Guy!"

Thanks to Sarah C., who agrees that (White) Guy is looking awful green.

Blowing in the Wind

How many times must a baker be told,

"Don't pipe 'flowers' where flowers belong?"

And how many colors are spelled correctly,

While still managing to be wrong?

How many directions are misunderstood,

Like the first Wreck that received such renown?

And how many ways can you try to explain,

That "nothing"'s still something written down?

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind.

The answer is "italicized" like it's blowing in the wind!

Thanks to Anna B., Alexis, Erica, David H., & Rosej, with the thanks "fuzzy" like a warm hug. (Only not in a creepy way.)

P.S. Y'all, I have to introduce you to the handiest little kitchen gadget for under $7:

Dishwasher "Dirty/Clean" Slider Bar

The whole thing is magnetic, and it also comes with a double-sided adhesive for non-metallic machines. Also comes in black, and there's a prettier cursive option if you don't want the bright red/green!
