2. So true. I'm still weirded out by this a little.
3. Seems incovinient.
9. That one was funny. ))
14. What about rye bread? Is it sweet too?
15. He he, nice. I'm afraid any restaurant would get broke if it applied the same policy here.
17. I have no idea what that means. =/
18. So how comes people are not robbed of their money on a daily basis?
19. I don't think it's creepy per se, no more than any other pledge, but the way it's turned into a ritual and kids have to chant it daily is... kinda cult-ish.
