Regiftable

My Department's Holiday Party was today. Last year, I terrified my then-new colleagues by doing really well on the Holiday-Themed Word Games. I believe the word "freak" was uttered a time or two... Heh. I told them I'm really a wordy-girl at heart; I just happen to be in a numbers profession.

Anyway, so this year, there was another word game...and I won again. I chose my prize based on the size and shape of the bag: which looked happily like a wine bag. Mmm... Wine. I like wine. Wine for the holidays would be spectacular in particular because I have no one to share the bottle with, so more for me. Woohoo!

When I opened the wine-shaped bag I found, in fact, not wine, but a bottle of pepper vinegar. Pepper vinegar isn't nearly as good as wine. Pepper vinegar isn't the sort of thing you sit sipping in front of a Christmas tree. I do like hot things though, so maybe it won't be so bad. I checked the tag to see what kind of peppers were in it...and right there, written in large, friendly letters was my answer:

NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION

Mmm. Right then.
*sigh*

It's "decorative." Like those pickled vegetables that look pretty, but that you're also not supposed to eat.

How much you wanna bet that's a regift?

Miss L, that is the dumbest thing I have heard in a long time. Who the hell wants *decorative* vinegar?
