What's the maximum amount of time you can
fish around with your hand in the bag of chips, searching out the elusive "perfect handful," without looking like some kind of damn socially inept disgrace?

3. -0-
You must deal with your perfectionism by standing up and saying, "My name is short bus president and I'm a chip perfectionist." Then, simply eat the entire bag of chips and don't worry about what others think. Fuck them; in fact, perhaps you might want to do that instead!

7. Yes, I agree, except that my technique
is a little different.
I just grab the whole bag, run like hell, find a dark corner, gorge myself on the whole bag,
and after finishing my bounty, make up some lame excuse like "Oh, excuse me, it was just a terrible misunderstanding"

18. Still talkin' dip?
If I may be so bold as to suggest that both of you shy corner-dwellers stroll down to the Grotto, you might enjoy having a dip with us. Nobody's biting. Much. Yet.

4. Does that include the time you spend picking up the ones you sloshed
out of the bag in your search,and sweeping up the one you just stepped on before your Sheltie gets to it?

10. Less than five seconds.
So as to avoid the inevitable crushing of the other chips that goes with digging in the bag. In this way, you can find yet another perfect handful.

27. weell, as much as you want to, i guess
if you're going to be so trashy as to eat chips out of a fucking bag, does it really matter if you get your grubby little paws all over everything? I mean really, get a bowl or something.

Come on, get down, loosen up!

I was merely commenting on you needing a bowl for chips; honey, you just might need that for the dip (if or when you use it) ... it sounded a teensy-weensy bit WASPY to me. Please forgive me. BTW, I wouldn't know how to or how one could eat caviar!!! Fish eggs? I did try to eat a partial spoonful at a party once and spit them out like Tom Hanks did in "Big"! Guess I'm too down-home for my own good!
