I jokingly asked the German customer if batteries should be included in the package and he shouted NINE!.. NO! EIGHT EIGHT EIGHT!

He was adamant.

Did this week's 'Caption This' even show up on the Main Page? Looks like it got shoved off by other commercial-type blog entries that nobody is responding to.

I didn't see it show up at all on the Main page and saw it only when I listed "See all blog posts" which I don't do very often. This would also explain why it has seen very little traffic - few else have seen it as well. Normally their "Caption this" blog posts are among the more popular ones and get a lot of comments.

Would you like a flapjack and a cigarette? A package of flatware with some triple A's.

No? Obviously there is no pleasing you.

Korean survival package translation: Raman noodle warming kit. Never be stuck in total darkness with cold noodle any more.

Package includes eight AAA (seven working) 1.5V, guarantee metal spoon, not so much fork you like, 100 % made in South Korea.

Instructions on back: toss batteries into wet Raman noodles when too cold. They warm, you eat. Do not eat battery silly person.

7/8 proven performance of the fine quality DESAN battery, you like so very much.

Doctor said I was vitamin A deficient. With this purchase I can get eight dosages that are three times what I need.

I'm just lucky I don't have a vitamin "D" deficiency! That would be a tough pill to swallow!
