I always wondered who found it, and if they knew the signifigance. I’m taking a flight next week. Hmm… ---

Who doesn’t love ice cream? I love vanilla ice cream, and more so when there’s warm caramel on top, running down the sides. ---

> [@knoodler](#): > > cara **mel on** top Combining techniques to good effect! Or is it a red herring? Ultimately all we cram into fun games like this is worth it, just as a diversion. ---

[quote=“Stanislaus, post:24, topic:992410”] all we cram into fun[/quote] No red herring. But beware of horrid combinations: no one mixes Ex-Lax with canned seafood, ever. ---

There is no other hidden lemon in this post - it’s still with Stanislaus, should they wish to continue. ETA - heh, your quote is somehow messing with my post, and I don’t know how to fix it! Not that it really matters. Extra kudos if you knew it was going to do that. ---

Well, I’d love to but I gotta be honest time is pressing. Work is particularly busy and to top it all off I’ve got a new younger boss - always a bit of a facer - so between pressure to meet targets and the beginnings of a lingering fear that I’m ageing past my best days I’m beginning to feel a little like Shelby “the machine” Levine in Glengarry Glen Ross. I don’t want to get carried away, the pressure can be exciting and motivating - some like it hot, after all - and although the two of us make an odd couple I think we can work well together. ---

Oh, very well played - at least, I think I’ve found the hidden lemon, in which case that probably makes us both grumpy old men before our time. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/travelling-lemon/992410.md?page=1)
