Satisfying Your Appetite
My identical twin emailed me, ‘What can I do to beat hunger?????????’ she writes.
‘Drink water with LIME juice.’ I respond. I’m kinda busy, I don’t have time to ask how she’s doing, or tell her Laney is playing in a STATE tournament this weekend on a 4.0 team! But, YES, lime juice does help to curb appetite. At least in MY body.

Then, I get this other email. It’s not for me, rather to her very good friend, but she’s cc'ed me a copy. Wanting me to read how she’s taking my advice and passed it along.
I sent this to my twin “Robin” because I am STARVING! I never ate lunch. I am drinking water no LINE today. We NEED to get that in stock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why did she put my name in quotes?

‘works like a charm’ I type, and press SEND, making sure her friend gets a copy.

An entire day passes, then early this morning, I get the following in my inbox:
OK what “works like a charm”, the LIME juice? And, BTW, does it have to be fresh lime juice? Or can it be from that plastic container shaped like a lime?

I can’t help myself, I shoot off my quick reply:
I can only speak for REAL limes, however, let's follow this line of logic

Does it have to be a REAL man? Or can it be a plastic doll shaped like a man?

Any questions?


A friend of mine left the following comment in my email - not sure why the comment wasn't left in here but...

nothing like fresh squeezed...
