When Life Gives You Lemons...

I'm having one of those sorts of weeks... yes, that sort. The kind where you put in 60+ 59 hours, sleep 5 hours a night, and take more advil than is good for you for the computer-screen-driven-sleep-deprived splitting headache. So I thought I'd share some fun endings for the silly idiom that has taken on a life of it's own. Maybe one of the endings will apply to me!

When life gives you lemons...
  • be sure to send a hand-written thank-you note for the lemons, as emailed thank-you notes can appear less sincere.
  • suck out all of the Vitamin C and shout, "Eat that, life!"
  • ask for salt and tequila.
  • sell them on Ebay.
  • throw them through life's window when no one is looking, and run like crazy.
  • find a kid with a paper cut.
  • ask for the receipt.
  • make lemonade. Then, find the guy who was given vodka and throw a party!
  • when life gives you melons, you know you're dyslexic.
and, my personal favorite:
  • put them in your bra to make your boobs look bigger.
Do you have any fun endings to the saying?

I've also heard something like:
"…take those lemons, squeeze their juice into a squirt gun, and shoot someone in the eye"

and a good corollary to the classic lemon phrase is
"When life gives you Balrogs, do not — I repeat, do NOT — attempt to make Balrog-ade" (props to Seth)

I love you and wish I could do more to make the evil work go away!
