"Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again." It's my second most favorite quote from a silver tongued devil who used to live in a large white house in the Baltimore area somewhere. I'll divulge my number one favorite quote later in this post - if I remember; doubtful, but you never know. I bring up this quote here cuz I got fooled twice, so he was wrong: you can get fooled again.

Beef Steaks is how the package was labeled, and10 STEAKS in smaller letters. I glance at it quickly, see the huge words and a picture of said item wrapped in bacon. Yup, that's it - the last thing on the list - toss it into the grocery cart and I'm outta here. Four days later, it's time to slap a couple of those Beef Steaks on the barbie so I open the box and remove a couple Beef Steaks. Huh? What's this? These aren't steaks, they're hamburgers! Oh.....I see: they're not technically hamburgers because the meat is 'chopped' instead of ground. Whoop de freakin do! Guess it's legal to label it steak if it's chopped instead of calling it what it is: hamburger. Incredible.

Yeah, fooled me twice. Bought an identical box of Beef Steaks about a year ago. Idiot!

That other quote from Mr. Eloquence that I like a lot: "Brownie, you're doing a helluva job." Yassuh, he sure as hell was! Nobody, and I do mean nobody, could do it quite like Brownie. We were truly blessed to have such competent leadership in our time of need.
