Thoughts from the ammo line

Sometimes when a Cosmo Girl of Today has lunch with pals, sipping an amusing little glass of merlot, the question of what to talk about arises. The old admonition against sex, religion, and politics, is, of course, laughingly out of date. Still, there are some topics to be avoided, particularly if food is involved.

 

Body parts are fine if you are referencing Courageous Caitlyn’s cleavage. Or Kim Kardashian’s kapacious kaboose. (What IS it with that family and why does anyone else CARE???) Or chatty vaginas having adorable monologues. Those body parts are of general interest to everyone, especially those famous pictures of Kim’s kaboose covered with half the sand from the Sahara. Tasteful and topical! Or is that tacky but tropical?

 

But talking about selling baby livers, hearts and limbs, Ms. Manners feels, should only be done in a non-food setting or at worst, over white wine, never red.

 

Remember, too, that the correct word is “harvested,” you know, like wheat, corn, soybeans, and such – the kinds of things sweaty, icky farmers from Flyover Land handle — and never off-putting, judgmental words like “dismembered” or “crushed.” Ms. Manners reminds you that the only “sin” in liberalism is being judgmental.

Bonus Discussion Question: How on Earth do you even find a heart, an arm, a liver in what we have been told for 42 years is “a clump of cells?” Good Lord! Is there a baby in there after all??
