[pp.int.general] I had this dream once...

[David van Deijk]

For people like you i have organised a special party.

It's called the "bitter" party. only bitter people are allowed.

We will party with coffee that has gone cold, black chocolate, brussels 
sprouts and chicory (raw).

people that still have a glimmer of hope left can go to Valio's party 
instead. only embittered people are welcome at my party.

Cheers.
