Love the last two words the most!

LOL. I'm glad because they were the last two I came up with. It was originally just "phooey," but I needed a syllable and I realized "kung" would work perfectly. You can borrow that phrase, too, because I won't ever need it again!

Interesting subject; which is proper etiquette, to hold one's chopsticks at the top, or at the bottom? Perhaps she could not decide?

I don't know about etiquette, Rico, but I hold mine at the back...and I don't twirl them around, especially with food on them! LOL

Thanks, Jan. I'm just sitting here on a Sunday afternoon all alone and letting my mind come up with the craziest things! Glad you liked it.
