How come "boo" is used to voice rejection about something, and is also what ghosts say to scare people? Is "boo" supposed to be scary because dead people are rejecting us? Besides, I thought ghosts said "whhooooo", not "boo"?

Is anybody with me?

That kikkoman hangover can be intense, I've heard that shots of espresso with wasabi in them can cure it...

I sat up all night thinking about it. And I came to the same conclusion you did.

Man, I feel like crap this morning...

Wait, it's 5:00. I'll *never* OD on Kikkoman again. Would it hurt to put a stupid warning on the label? Any lawyers here? Do you think I could sue them?

You're more likely to have success by suing Canada for willfully generating citizens that can't hold their Kikkoman....

You don't want to go there son, I'd just embarrass you.

Maybe if you added some vodka it would be a fair contest. Or tequila. Tequila just slays me, right then and there. You'd win that one.
