The Wisdom of Beef and Chocolate

I responded to Mrs. Getzler's request for jerky to accompany her Possumblog Home Edition by pouting and acting hurt. I mean, come on, "jerky" and me in the same sentence?

Anyway, she wrote back and said: "No, I just have a hankerin' for some nice beef jerky. All we have are Slim-Jims in the house and they are not the same. Slim-Jims to jerky are the same as Tootsie Rolls to chocolate. They are all good, but not the same."

You know, that is just so true.

I seem to remember a similar question on the GRE involving JuJuBes and a T-Bone.

Seriously, where else could I find Tootsie Rolls & Beef Jerky in the same sentence, other than every 7-Eleven in the country?

Basically, anything you can find at a 7-11 you can find here, including curiously accented English.

But no possums, unless you look in the dumpster out back.

Obviously you've not been to some of our finer 7-11s in this area...
