We have an all butter pound cake in our refrigerator. A Sara Lee product. But I have 2 problems with our all butter pound cake. First of all, it's not all butter. If it were all butter it would be exactly that, butter. And then the modifier "all butter" would be useless because what's the point of labeling butter as "all butter butter"?
My next issue is the pound part. Our cake weighs 10.75 ounces. Sounds to me like we were ripped off for 5.25 ounces of cake. Or was it butter that we were shorted? I can say this for certain, if I wanted to butter my toast in the morning with my "all butter" product, I'm about one pound short of being able to do it.

Instead of being a pound short, are you sure that you didn't use shortening? Guess this is another obvious case where you were pound short but a penny wise or is that six or a half dozen? penny wise and pound foolish? Now don't get short with me, shorty. Sorry, I got to go, but I'll return shortly.
Stop trying to butter me up or I'll have to pound you. I'd say more but I think that's pretty much the long and short of it.
Think you can have your cake and eat it too? I don't car-e if you rot.
Where do you come up with these half baked ideas? Alaska? Juneau you're not funny at all?
There's too many cooks in the kitchen, and I'm busier than a threelegged man in an ass kissing contest.
Wouldn't that be an ass kicking contest? Or are you mixing your metaphors? Maybe you should stay out of the kitchen. I don't think you can stand the heat - of the moment. You should go to Asia.
Hey, I suppose the disco hotspots still hold the charm for you. Stop you sobbing, and quit pretending to be cool, like me.
Quit making waves. Hasn't Hurricane Katrina caused enough discord already?
I'm just sitting here reading my rolling stone. Maybe later, I can come around 9 with some Puerto Rican girl who's dying to meet you.
Listen Blondie, why don't you eat your Subaru?
Oh, come on! I might have to call a Dexy for a Midnight run!
Personally, I think this whole thing is a scandal. Maybe it's time I say goodbye to you!
Yes! I think it's your roundabout way of saying your a disgrace.
No, it's my way of saying I'm going to Panama! I'll take the van while you go halen a cab.
I just wanna STOP! Can we go to Gino's pizza instead, and maybe get some Vannelli ice cream later?
So you wanna go steppin' out? Shall we meet at the Gino's on Jackson? Maybe get a cup of Jo later?
I'm afraid we might run into an old girlfriend who's probably dating an unlikely fellow. Jeesh, is she really going out with him?
I can't believe it either - he ways a blooming ton! (I love that line; I just had to work it in again somehow). What's his name - Harry? He just might rip her to shreds.
Sounds like the werewolves of london again. I think there's a Warren out for his arrest.
You have a real knack for this. I sharona keep up.
Don't stop believing. We're on a journey to the blog of fame.
We're not in Kansas anymore. I'll have to dust off some more puns but I can't right now. I'm a little winded.
I'll be the White Sox have more than a feeling, and are probably laughing and dreaming since they've beaten Boston.
Yes, Chicago did pretty well; especially considering that this is the introduction to the post season for many of their players.
I think Chicago is playing tonight. Do you know what time it is? Does anyone know what time it is? I think they'll have a few hits. . .
Now that they have played I think Chicago is left with some questions. There must be 67 or 68 of them.
L.A.'s fine but it ain't mine, no more. Guess they'll have to Neil to the Sox who are playing pretty well on the Diamond.
You're such a card. You know, down in St. Louis, Chris Carpenter better keep his arm strong. If they win, what a wonderful world!
I'm sure there's a few Whitney-esses who claim that Houston will win after they were so frustrated last year when they exclaimed "didn't we almost have it all?"
Franklin, I think this is a two horse race and they'll put aretha 'round the winners neck. If its the Astros, maybe then they'll get some respect.
Reuters:
I heard that they were interviewing celebrities in LA in advance of the game. When pressed to show his allegiance to the home team, Gregg Allman allegedly exclaimed that "I'm no Angel!" much to the delight of Sox fans everywhere.
