so i was chillin at the community herb garden a couple of weeks ago. and the artichokes had come thorough. and before i had realised my mother's man friend had seized them all. every last one.

he lived by himself and had two grocery bags full of artichokes. so i started hinting. fist subtely. and then somewhat less subtely. and when numbnuts finally got my jist... "but you can't eat artichokes" (raises eyebrows) "because you eat artichokes by soaking them in butter and you don't eat butter"

all i have to say is he better not be banging my mother.
