“I think oysters are more beautiful than any religion," he resumed presently. "They not only forgive our unkindness to them; they justify it, they incite us to go on being perfectly horrid to them. Once they arrive at the supper-table they seem to enter thoroughly into the spirit of the thing. There's nothing in Christianity or Buddhism that quite matches the sympathetic unselfishness of an oyster.”

Hmm, I think that's a little overwrought for something that looks like a cow sneezed inside a rock. I'm biased though... I can't actually eat seafood.
Oh, fine, sneer at their sacrifice. :-)
I adore oysters, and am thoroughly jealous that we didn't get an invite! :p
You're more than welcome, if you think you can get here on time!
I can't stop chuckling at the cow sneeze. I must remember not to share that with my guests.
The MikeD - he is a very funny fellow :p

No, I'm just a 12 year old boy at heart and boogers and poop jokes are still funny to me thirty plus years later.
