“Does this smell OK to you?”

“Yeah. Why?”

“It’s past the expiration date. I don’t like to eat or drink anything that’s past the expiration date.”

“What? Why? That’s just on there …”

“It’s on there for a reason.”

“Yeah, but that doesn’t mean …”

“I’m not taking any chances.”

“Come on.”

“Whatever.”

“Oh … Jesus. God.”

“What?”

“… oh, oh …”

“Told you.”
