    Yeah I'm not big on Detroit Style.

    For whatever reason I like Jet's though. 

    I don’t know if they still do this, or if it was location specific, but I worked near a Jets several years ago and they sold it by the slice for lunch.  2 slices was just the right amount of food for a midday snack.

    Woman Asks Fellow Passenger To Move From Business Class to Economy So She Can Move Her Husband Up

    "He's already heading this way!" the passenger recalls the woman telling him in a post shared on the subreddit, 'Entitled People'

    A Reddit user recounted a shocking request made of him by a fellow passenger.

    In a post shared on the Entitled People subreddit, the user canada11235813 recalled an incident in which the woman sitting next to him in business class asked him to voluntarily downgrade his seat so that she could sit next to her husband, who was seated in economy, in business.

    The original poster (OP) was on a flight from Toronto to Vancouver on an unnamed airline when he says the woman sitting next to him in a two-seat center pod configuration asked him if he'd mind switching seats with her husband so the couple could sit together.

    He said yes assuming that her husband was sitting somewhere else in business class, at which point the woman casually revealed that her husband's seat was actually 18B — a middle seat in economy.

    "You can't seriously expect me to swap a pod for a MIDDLE seat at the back of the bus. Are you kidding me?" OP recalled saying, adding that he kept looking around to see if he was being recorded for some kind of YouTube prank.

    Not only was she serious, she proceeded to throw a tantrum over OP's refusal, saying "But you said you would! He's already heading this way!"

    The woman, he says, had originally been seated in economy with her husband, but took a free upgrade when it was offered to her, apparently assuming someone would readily downgrade their seat so she could sit with her spouse.

    The OP said that if she could find someone in business class to switch with her husband, he'd move to any pod in the section so that they could sit together in the double pod. Or, she could sit with her husband back in economy.

    Seemingly unhappy with these options, he says, she replied, "But we both want to sit together up here!"

    Unable to facilitate either option because of the seating assignments, OP writes, she eventually sat down and traveled apart from her husband for the 5-hour flight.

    If the guy would’ve snapped, and I was on his jury, it would’ve been hung at least. There’s a way to get two adjoining business class tickets.  You purchase them both.

  3. What’s the going rate on frozen embryo storage these days?  Can I just stick them in the freezer at home next to the chicken pot pies?  I suppose the downside to the little tax credits would be catching a manslaughter charge the next time the power grid fails, but I think I can kick that can down the road for a little while.

    RIP. Although a Cowboy fan in my callow youth, for whatever reason I tended to like the black players better. 

    Robert Newhouse was my favorite for a long time and I later worked with him as a bankruptcy trustee. 

    Richards was almost too pretty. 

    I was the same age as Newhouse’s kid.  Competed against him in damn near everything.   He had his dad’s thighs, which made it not so fun to try to tackle him.

    Last night I watched a rerun of the Tonight Show from Feb 27, 1986. During his monologue, I heard Johnny Carson use the phrase “prime the pump.”

    I didn’t realize it had been that long since Trump invented the phrase.

    You need to find a new hobby.
