letter to the makers of Dial soap

From my wife, Sept 4, 2007:
------------------
Dear Dial Corporation, First let me say I have used your products for years and am very satisfied. The reason I am writing today is to ask your help in solving a debate between my husband and myself. You see, before we got married he was in the habit of using a bar of soap to such an extent all that was left was a translucent sliver that was very difficult to use. After about ten or so of these "soap chicklets" were collected on the shower soap dish he claims he would ball them all up and consolidate into a usable ball of mixed matched soap debris.
After we got married four months ago, and I became the bath product dictator of our house, he used a bar of dial soap for the first time and noticed the indentations in the shape of the soap. He CLAIMS they are to place the "soap chicklet" onto the new bar, nestled ever so ergonomically into the shallow cove of soap, where the chicklet and the new bar can meld seamlessly into one. I told him it was so the bar of soap would contour to body parts while washing. Can you please advise if the reason for the shape of your soap having the shallow curve indented into it is for
1-- a more efficient and comfortable fit of the bar of soap over arms, legs and torso during washing,
2-- specifically designed for the assimilation of the little translucent sliver of soap that my husband has such a hard time letting go, that he must meld into a nice, fresh, clean bar of soap, or
3-- it is just shaped that way because that is how you want it.

I understand you have very limited time, so would certainly appreciate you taking a moment to provide some enlightenment on this matter so my husband and I can stop debating it. Of course, I know you will confirm that I am right, and I will be able to chide him and tease him relentlessly for our many happy years to come. I will also pass the correct answer onto all my girlfriends who have the same "chicklet" issues with their husbands, hopefully proving, once again, that the wife is ALWAYS right.
Warm regards,
Deborah M.

They never responded to her letter other than to send us some coupons for a couple free bars of soap.

chinese food mind control revisited

Some time ago I posted an entry titled   msg = mind control substance. Many of my friends still poke fun at me for that rant, but I am 100% serious about what I said in that post. It seems that I'm not the only one who thinks that too. 

Ever since I posted my thoughts on Chinese food and its mind control properties, I discovered that the number one way people find my blog is by doing a google search for "msg mind control". They come from all over the world too! I even found one reader came to my blog from Japan.  Even the Japanese think Chinese food is evil!!!

What is the real scoop out there? Those of you who find this blog by searching for "msg mind control" what exactly are you looking for in your google searches?  Maybe I'm interpreting your search incorrectly. Maybe "msg mind control" has entirely different meaning than the one that comes to mind.

Leave your comments and let me know. I REALLY wanna know. I'd like to know that I'm not the only one who knows the evil truth behind Chinese food. :)
