“I’ll have what she’s having.”
Everybody knows the classic deli line delivered by Billy Crystal’s real-life mom in the movie WHEN HARRY MET SALLY.
But it ends up that what everybody is having in the traditional Jewish deli may not be what you’re going to get anymore. There is a referendum among deli owners to CUT DOWN ON THE SIZE OF THOSE GIANT SANDWICHES, and instead serve meals that are a little bit healthier and better for the customer.

Fiasco: The Inside Story of a Wall Street Trader
Today, a quick one:
With this past week’s economic news just pummelling the stock markets around the world, sometimes you need to have just the perfect image that can encapsulate the feeling at the moment. After all, 500 point drops in the DJIA don’t happen every day.
Have you ever wondered exactly how much money a celebrity photo from a paparazzi photographer is worth?
For some, not a whole heck of a lot of money. For others, it can make that lucky photographer’s year.
Wal-Mart has a policy of having “greeters” at the front door of all their stores.
One of the jobs that the greeters and security staff are tasked with is to double-check receipts to ensure that everything that is being carried out has been paid for per the receipt.
Mary Hill Bonin and her husband are suing Wal-Mart for the Wal-Mart staff doing their job.
Unfortunately, it’s the Wal-Mart staff that allegedly appears to have acted inappropriately in this case. All Mary and “Ricky” wanted to do was buy $2.90 worth of chicken necks. According to the Wal-Mart security guard, the chicken neck was being shoplifted – that is, being taken out of the store without having been paid for.

A recent survey from M/A/R/C Research and The Integer Group discovered that women are very particular about the brands that they buy at the grocery store.
And it has absolutely nothing to do with whether those products are superior in Web Watch’s opinion (the infamous “Heinz vs Hunts ketchup debate” lingers on, folks) or not.
What the survey uncovered was that 43% of women prefer to purchase brands that are associated with charitable giving.

46% of people surveyed will spend part of their vacation time doing work instead of actually enjoying their time off.
Web Watch knows how they feel – during one Vegas vacation, we spent two days in the hotel room overlooking the Bellagio fountains, compiling a PowerPoint presentation for our boss who didn’t understand the meaning of “hey, just because we brought a laptop with us doesn’t mean that we’re available to you 24 hours a day…. especially while we’re in Vegas.”

Buy this TMBG album for the song
“HEY MR DJ, I THOUGHT YOU SAID WE HAD A DEAL”
Rock band THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS wrote a song all about what it allegedly took to get a song on the radio, aptly entitled Hey Mr DJ, I Thought You Said We Had a Deal. In it, the lyrics read, in part:
I struck a bargain with my radio DJ
I said I’d like this song to be number one
He said I’d really really like to help you my son
And then I knew that I would have him to thank
Because he asked me how much I had in the bank
…
He said the record wouldn’t have to be hot
And no one ever seemed to care if it’s not
It would depend on something else that I’ve got
…
Hey Mr. DJ, I thought you said we had a deal
I thought you said, You scratch my back and I’ll scratch your record
And I thought you said we had a deal
And while it may appear that TMBG is talking about PAYOLA — paying money to a DJ to get a song on the airwaves — what they could be talking about is just THE BUSINESS OF MAKING MUSIC.

In case you didn’t know, children’s playgrounds are dirty, filthy places.
It doesn’t really matter what type of playground you’re talking about. Playgrounds at schoolyards and parks are often found scattered with broken bottles and used condoms. Playgrounds at McDonald’s and Chuck E Cheese are covered in germs.
Some parents consider the ingestion of some germs as a healthy habit for their kids, in order to help build up immunities.
