a) Must scratch my nose! Where are my arms?
b) Why did I wear a Big Bird outfit? Those Sesame Street sharks will sue for sure!

At Milan’s Fashion Week, one designer was encouraging her models to smile as they skipped down the catwalk. I said to them smile as if you’re going to the supermarket, Gentucca Bini said backstage, pointing to posters urging the models to do just that.

Oh, real nice. Women who get to consume six whole calories a day are supposed to remember what a supermarket is?

Yeah, well, Shawn, at least you don’t have the annoying habit of reiterating what Bob writes…I was two seconds from making a Big Bird comment before I stopped myself and re-read what he’d written.
