fudge: oh, fine. but don't eat it in the living room.
the pt: ok!
fudge: alright, here you go. don't say i never gave you anything.
the pt (dismayed): but it's so short!
fudge: kid, it's a scoop and a half. i know you. you never finish anything.
the pt: but it's just so little!
fudge: you finish that, you can have more.
the pt: oh, but -
fudge: hey. you get what you get and you don't get upset.

You been hanging around with Rabbi E?
We use the "get what you get" line out here in Los Angeles, too. Wonder how those things spread across the country. Maybe it's that newfangled Internet.
