Masters in pun administration

R asked Y for advice on business school applications and recommendations.

De pung museum

S: Where is the Koret Auditorium?

M: I think it's near the north entrance of the museum.

S: That is koret.

La même crème

(Author's note: you make crème fraîche by stirring 1 tbsp yogurt into a pint of cream and letting it sit overnight.  If you already have creme fraiche, you can use 1 tbsp of that as a starter culture instead of buying yogurt.)

S:  Looks like I'm going to need most of the crème fraîche for this recipe.
J:  Okay, well just leave a couple tablespoons so I can start a new batch.
S:  Okay.
J:  Or just use it all!  It's not too hard to start fraîche!

Practically another Market Street

B: We can go to the deli on the corner of 19th & Guerrero for lemons, but if they don't have any, we can go to the store on the corner of 20th & Valencia. Do you know that they're owned by the same family?
M: Wow, the owner has really cornered the market.

That socks

A: Oh shoot! I just got a hole in my favorite pair of socks!
B: Darn it.

Makes my tummy feel offal

I:  I feel bad eating chicken hearts, because when I get six on a plate, I know that six chickens died for my meal.
S:  Do you feel the same way about eating twelve chicken wings?
I:  No...  I don't know why I don't have the same visceral reaction.
