Flied Lice
Ever heard the saying "I'm going to be all over it like white on rice"? Well that's great, if we are indeed talking about nice and processed rice. Wild rice and white rice that has yet to be refined is more of a baby-puke brown color.
So one of the officers in my condo community, who will be referred to in many future postings as "White trash lady" rang my doorbell at 6:30 last week and hands me a bucket of paint. Baby-puke brown paint. It was the event I was wishing to avoid. When I first moved, I recieved a brand new front door and side window. So both of these came in a stark white color that was very different from the said brown of the other units. I thought I was the lucky one who got to have a brilliant entry way so bright that it could mark my territory well. No, I have to paint it.
So that brings me to the REAL reason for this post today. When I asked how much needed to be painted, I knew the answer but hoped perhaps she'd answer incorrectly and spare me from covering my entire brightness with a dark and unforgiving mud tone. The prophetic reply of "white trash lady"?
"You should paint the entire fixture; cover it all over. One solid color covering everything, like white on rice".
Wait a second. . . wasn't the door ALREADY white? Go home and have another illegitimate child you dumb bitch!
