Thank heavens for that!

I found a comment relating to bisque, Sometimes it can be better than you would expect:

[color=yellow]George[/color]: Listen to this. Marcy comes over and she tells me that her ex-boyfriend was over late last night and "yada yada yada I'm really tired today."
[color=yellow]Jerry[/color]: What do yyou think she was tired from?
[color=yellow]George[/color]: Well obviously the "yada yada". You don't think she'd yada yada [i]sex[/i]?
[color=yellow]Elaine[/color]: (raises hand) I've yada yada'd sex.
[color=yellow]George[/color]: Really?
[color=yellow]Elaine[/color]: Yeah. I met this lawyer, we went out to dinner, I had the ... bisque, we went back to my place, yada yada yada, I never heard from him again.
[color=yellow]George[/color]:But you yada yada'd over the best part.
[color=yellow]Elaine[/color]: No, I mentioned the bisque.
