Whenever someone brings in a morning treat to work, it's almost always a box of bagels from Panera bread.

Yeah, but you live in a decent size city, college town no less. You don't think of it as "Bagels with schmear", it's just a bagel.

I've never lived in a small town, but those I know from it have their own predefined stereotypes, including foods.

Of course we have bagels everywhere around here, well I'm not in Somerset but Altoona has a Panera now. The only thing I've never heard of is having tuna spread for your bagel.

I realize that's just a view from a highway, but Keith's parents aren't in some sort of self-imposed exile, right?

I had a bagel for lunch, and I have never ever met a Jewish person (to my knowledge)

Never much cared for bagels myself.....but it's a comfort to know that if I'm every in Rotorua or Whangarei, I can get one with a smear of cream cheese and lox.

You know, that guy who got caught cheating was really dumb. He's spending all this money on some whore yet leaves his HOME address and contact information to every vendor where he's buying stuff for her. And then he's SHOCKED -- shocked, I tell you! -- when the paper trail finally leads back and his wife finds out. Please. He has a work address, he could get a PO Box...he has no one but himself to blame for getting caught. What a dipshit. I hope he loses his lawsuit.

My company got sued once because a bar applicant managed to see the horrible things a personal reference had said about her. The applicant had caused the death of this reference's daughter in a car accident years before, and the applicant had no idea this woman still had this seething hatred of her. The state where the applicant was applying let her see what the woman said about her, and the reference then turned around and sued US for it. She lost her case.
