На днях клиентка говорит мне с мучительным стыдом:
- Никто из нормальных людей не будет жрать чипсы в подъезде прямо из пакета. Вы, например, так не делаете наверняка.

What other bad for you things are in the potato chips? Sodium glutamate, spices? There, you should lick them off your fingers too.
