Has anyone seen my grapes and asparagus?

[asmith]

Ok so I have been missing in action but I do poke my head into the office every now and then and I do read the forum. You can add whatever abuse you want for my lack of posts but I still love you lot.

I have noticed some changes around the office here and I am not sure they are for the best. Don't get me wrong Di is still busting her chops keeping this place running smoothly. Along with the young punks who seem to be doing a good job, mind you there are three of them doing what I did. The cafe is pumping with all the young drama students. But it's Rob I am worried about. I think he has been kidnapped!!!

There is this guy in the office who sort of looks like Rob, except he doesn't drink, he has a short back and sides haircut, wears short sleeved shirts and is now exercising 5 days of the week, walking 3 and gym for 2. But this morning when he stood there in a fluster asking (almost screeching in a high pitched voice) and stamping his foot "Has anyone seen my grapes and asparagus, my grapes peoples has anyone seen my grapes and asparagus? Don't laugh Smith I need them for my diet."

WTF - Does that sound like the Rob you guys know, cause its not the Rob I know so my only guess he has been kidnapped. Best of luck for the guys going to Cuba with this guy because me thinks there will be no cigar factory tours, more organic banana growing and green tea drinking.

Come Back Rob!!!

Has anyone seen my grapes.....

What exactly did you do...?

I am sure that by the time that I meet up with Rob on the terrace of the National he will be back to his former self cuz it is pretty hard to find grapes and asparagus in Havana.

PLENTY of grapes in Havana.

They've just been squeezed and fermented!

[Ken Gargett]

is grapes and asparagus simply code for sauv blanc?

[WarriorPrincess]

So funny but soooo true

I told him on Monday afternoon before we left for the day...."grab those shopping bags on the table" but no he says ' I will get them in the morning to take up to his "office" '

So Tuesday morning I watch him bring the bags upstairs and think nothing of it... until he asks me on Wednesday afternoon "we are my grapes.?"

I told him he bought them upstairs, so begins the search through the whole office and warehouse but to no avail and he is still scratching his head to where they are.

Me thinks he threw the bags in the bin with all the groceries but he has denied it until this morning when realized they are nowhere to be found.

He has not had a drink of a month now and we exercise 6 days a week so I am not sure this has done something to his memory or not but all I know, one drink in Cuba and he will be on the floor

I thought you meant Rob was not wearing pants again.

Are you limiting him to one drink I think I heard something about having a few more?!

[NJP]

[earthson]

I am sure Brad that he will have his share in Cuba...I wouldn't limit him to one drink as he wouldn't dare do the same to me

How is that 'SwishAway' business going anyway?
