How I do in the summer:

The Japanese love sweet green tea flavored things. Green tea ice cream is seriously delicious.

RENEW! RENEW!

My husband's sales team (and the CEO) have a habit of selling things that don't actually exist and then coming back to the office and telling the developers they have a week to deliver this totally new, totally-just-made-up-yesterday feature.

Or how about this: employers hire the staff appropriate to the workload.

Rocking the Avent Soothie pacifier, the premier binkie choice of discerning infants and toddlers everywhere.

Heh, it's not a big deal. I had a salpingogram, which is where they shoot a contrast dye into your fallopian tubes and take an x-ray to see if there are any abnormalities or blockages. A side-effect of the procedure itself is increased fertility because just the act of shooting that crap up there I guess cleans out
