-Pork x Four-

How to stretch four pieces of pork (total value = $1.75) across four days:
Give each a different flavor. In this case; honey, pepper, chili and garlic.

I. Honey

Each of the cheese vendors in the Strip district rings up customer purchases with a different signature. These signatures match the vendor's particular catch phrase, post purchase. If the vendor says "Thank you, sweetheart," than 'Thank you, sweetheart' appears on your bill.

Maybe they work on commission, I don't know for certain. There is a good chance that today's cheese bill will read "Thanks, Honey," which would be really, really, sweet; all things considered.


Another thing that is sickeningly sweet; 'Me & Mrs. Jones', a PBS presentation via Exxon-Mobil Masterpiece theatre. I enjoyed it despite myself; only PBS would play such delightful fare after hours. 'Course, I'm particularly suggestible right now - a run at 3:30 AM, a shower at 4:00, and honey pork stir fry at 4:30. So far, everything is amusing, and sweet.

Some additional honey sightings:
