Boxed

If it’s worth caring about, it’s worth carrying, and if it’s worth carrying, ya need something to carry it IN. Something cute. It it don’t fit, force it. My motto. Food these days. Not cut for a Chow Wagon. Sartorially unsuitable. You’ll have to make a painful choice cause that artisanal stuff is not (hate this word) baggie shaped.

Now I remember a funny old (non)joke joke.

Question: Do you walk to school or carry your lunch? (Delivery tip – do not pause while reading.)
