Another Reminder of the Difference Between Sugar & Spice and Snails & Puppy Dog Tails

A phone conversation between me (in Biloxi) and Mark (in Jackson)....

....so things are going well up there?

Yeah, it's fine.

(pause)

My lips are chapped, I need to buy some chapstick.

You need to exfoliate them first.

What?

Exfoliate them. Just mix some sugar with some olive oil and rub that on your lips.

(no response)

Are you doing it? Do you have sugar and olive oil up there?

(pause)

I have salt and Pam.
