Quote #556
"Alas," Vanessa sighed, "What can one do when one's relationship begins to
stale in much the same way as a day-old cinnamon roll which was wrapped in
wax paper rather than having been sealed in plastic, and can only be made
remotely palatable for a very brief period when reheated for a few seconds
in a microwave, after which it becomes even more revolting than it was in
the first place?"
