From the article about MFI:

For many years, MFI allowed customers to buy their items in the store and leave the store with their furniture . This was stopped in the mid-1990s due to cost and from then on all furniture was delivered from large warehouses. This has resulted in MFI having the largest two-man delivery service in Europe.

It’s true.

David: God, whoever wrote this is way too into Ritter Sport.
David: Also, “sport”?
David: It’s a fucking chocolate bar.

Update: Something tells me that variety number 24, “Nutella with horse power”, may not be an accurate reporting of the facts.

Wikipedia taught me a new word today. While I was learning about scampi, it treated me to this delightful sentence:

The word “scampi” is often construed as that style of preparation, not an ingredient, hence the seemingly pleonastic “shrimp scampi” or the seemingly impossible “chicken scampi”.

I would also like an explanation as to why this photograph of the American dish ’scampi’ is captioned thusly:

Since you’re rich and spoiled, it might not seem like the economy has gone into the toilet, so I’d just like to bring that to your attention - The economy has gone into the toilet.
