Too bad this wasn't out 55 days ago.

Anyway, it may be amusing to some.

If it annoys anyone, please ignore it with my apologies.

You'll have to excuse the language - mjh215's reading list includes Terry Pratchett - whose books (esp. Rincewind's) abound in "Bugger off"

I have some passing exposure to the inimitable Rincewind ... I think I've only read the first four or five of the Diskworld books. We do refer to my Boss's purse as "The Luggage" because she's always looking for a bigger one, and always looking for someone else to hold the thing.

How many employees have vanished into the pink maw of "The Luggage?"
And, does it have an endless supply of lavendar-scented hankies?
