OK, so which one of you is going to try to set a record for most iced coffees consumed in one day?

Jason reminds us that today is Free Iced Coffee Day at your local Dunkin' Donuts, all 63 gazillion of them:

Bag it, buddy

Jim Sullivan threatens to go postal the next time a supermarket bagger asks him if he wants his milk in a bag:

... Why is it that milk is the only thing the bagger at the supermarket won't automatically put in a bag? If you buy laundry detergent, it gets put in a bag. A bottle of dishwashing liquid? Into a bag it goes. Every other thing that comes in a bottle or jar finds itself in a bag after checkout. Cream - which is just milk with a college education - gets put in a bag.
