"Life is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So you're stuck with this undefinable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while there's a peanut butter cup or an english toffee but they're gone too fast and taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits of hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts. If you're desperate enough to eat those, all you got left is an empty box filled with useless brown paper wrappers."

This is a truth, But remember those nuts and mints, they are better than the moment you started with which is why you went to the chocolates in the first place. And while you go for them you do not know what you are getting so life is full of surprises.

"teeth-shattering nuts"

If your doing it right it should be earth-shattering.... I would suggest not using your teeth when you have nuts in your mouth, he's less likely to try and punch your teeth out that way

"Life's like a box of chocolates. You open it up, and most times someone has taken a bite out of each and every one. That's when I gotta get out my 45 and blow their heads off. That's all I have to say about that."

Chaos - I guess that's one way to approach it with the mint whip and nuts (the optimistic way ;). Still, I guess in the end it amounts to what chocolates money will/can buy you, too...

Kaisa - Wrong kind of nuts... Although I guess now we know what's on your mind today!

Ben - *bwahahaha* Thanks!
