A regular customer of a neighborhood pub had been drinking all night. This particular night the man had been drinking more than usual and was quite drunk. Finally, the bartender says "Frank, isn't it time you went home? Your wife is gonna be furious with you if you're not there before she gets back from her bridge game!" "Right you are" says Frank. "Quite right".
He stands up to leave and falls flat on his face. He tries to stand one more time, falls flat again. So he figures, no problem, he will just crawl outside and get some fresh air to sober him up. Outside, he tries to stand up again but still can't do it. So he decides to crawl the 3 blocks to his home and when he arrives at the door, he is relieved to see that his wife hasn't come back yet. He crawls through the door into his bedroom. When he reaches his bed, he tries one more time to stand up. This time he manages to pull himself upright but he quickly falls right into bed and is sound asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow.
The next morning, he wakes up and his wife is furious. "You were out drinking again last night!" Frank looks innocently at her. "How can you say that? I was home fast asleep, I didn't even hear you come in." "The bar called, you left your wheelchair behind again."
Yay, Janie! ...and a huge 15 lb. box of Thomas Haas to you, to celebrate your first star! Of course, you are a mega- in your own right, so no need to hanker after getting more of them here!
BTW, my Thomas Haas are long-gone...they were delectable, delicious and de-lovely. Merci, buckets, Janie!

Brenda, I don't know about 15 lbs of chocolates, but I threw a jewellry party a few weeks ago to raise money for BC Cancer, a chocolate, cheese and wine do, and it turned out that Thomas Haas has a "party platter" of 55 chocolates !!! Leftovers I put in little ziploc baggies for guests to take home. Do not need those calories on my body. Then again, if you're going to consume calories, make sure they are high quality.
A friend of one of my daughters was married yesterday. Nikki was just describing the wedding to us - one of those wonderful weddings which was great fun. The reception was at the Terminal City Club, and dinner and dancing were followed by a midnight buffet.
I asked Nikki whether she was able to eat anything at the buffet to which she replied "Just the Thomas Haas chocolates - who could resist". Imagine Thomas Haas chocolates for 250 guests!
Nikki was part of the wedding party and the photographs were taken on Ambleside Beach... brrrrr.
