To JenEllen

Oh, Jen, Jen, I never said that (bold type) *I* follow the accursed practice. No, no, celery is the devil's food and should be scorned (unless it's in a nice casserole or soup with other sumptuous ingredients, of course). No. I just typed that I (bold type) *thought* that's what belly buttons were for.

I mean, just think of the practicalities. If you didn't finish all of the flavouring and stood up . . . salt in your slippers.

I can hardly stand thinking about it.
