Seriously–say, “Gee, I don’t know what to make for breakfast/lunch/dinner/that thing we’re going to/your mother/whatever. Go see what’s in the bottom of the freezer for me, would ya?”

I think he’ll get the point that his dumb buddy who welded his wedding ring to his own finger needs to shut the hell up.

You have that whole nipple disability thing. It's unfair that you should have to lean way into the freezer to try and find things when you could accidentally brush a nipple up against a frozen pot roast and require hospitalization.<br/><br/>In fact... shouldn't the government buy you an upright?

In fact… shouldn’t the government buy you an upright?
