Yeah. When you are there being spied on with the hidden
microphone... be sure to make lots of extremely lewd comments
about the salesperson. Especially if s/he is the same sex as
you. Like, "I would pay an extra $200 if that hunky car salesman
gave me a BJ, cuz I've always liked rough trade badboys..."

Mindless stuff. Its also seen when the unemployment rate is very low
and you dont even get any applicants at all for a particular well paid job.

Among the very few snacks I take is the hockey puck sized cans of Tuna
in water. I have food sensitivities and can't eat canned fish in
sauce or oil of any kind. I have been draining the water thus far and
eat only the meat. It occured to me that since the flesh had been
cooked and soaked in that water since canning the water would have a
lot of protein in it. Throwing away that water seems wasteful. Is
draining a common practice? Do you also eat/drink that water along
with the meat?

Cat treat: if you have a cat. My guys go nuts when they get it.

The only other thing I can think of is turning into some kind of fish
stock, but I've never run across that being done yet.

I've been eating a lot of Norwegian sardines in olive
oil lately

I read that sardines have as much omega 3 as
salmon..... but less potential mercury

I also dribble a little of what I drain off and pour it over a handful of
dry cat food. Our male cat thinks he's died and gone to kitty heaven when I
offer it to him. Our female smells it, and promptly tries to bury it.

Also it matters how old you are
