    While it is a cute sign-off there SW, twinkies only have a self-life of twenty-five days, and are regularly checked and replaced by the vendors as they approach that time-frame.

    From:

    snopes.com: Twinkies Shelf Life

    I do know you were just being funny, and I don't care for Twinkies, never did.

    Allow me to reposte with 'German joke'...

    'French modesty' should be there somewhere too

    Not an oxymoron as the words are neither incongruous nor contradictory. A poor excuse to bring politics into another thread? Probably!

    Same as any other two that are used together frequently that don't belong, or make sense.
    How politics? Politically correct has nothing to do with politics either. It's a cheap way to cop-out with a popular excuse, you don't have to explain.
    Same Same.
    Popularity does not make it so.

    Can't be bothered, more irrelevant posting, back to the hilarity.

    How about common sense?

    Why not say you can't be bothered with explaining yourself, or (the popular version) that you've no time for things that are not politically correct.
    Which is the "Exit" you're looking for now. ;)
