You use Grecian Formula?

There Richard goes, making me laugh again.

We have a store called Food Czar in New Orleans?? (I need to get out and about more often.)

Eh Nonymous

"junior size"?

It is to laugh.

Nice list.

If I ever write up discovery requests from scratch, let alone draft a contract, I will have two goals:

- it will be impossible for the other side to wiggle out, because I will plug every hole, if necessary by including instructions such as "If any discovery request produces no relevant documents or does not make sense, it is incumbent upon the recipient to let us know, so that we can discuss a substitute request."

- it will be impossible for a judge to fail to get our drift, if you dig, because we will not use words or phrases like hereinbelow or "colloquially known as dozen." That is, we will ask for "a dozen eggs, or however many you have, or can locate; if not, explain why." That's why requests for admission plus written questions plus document requests are such a nice combo.

Also, you forgot the jumper cables and jumbo family-size kleenex.
