why do they call small individually wrapped candy bar pieces 'fun sized'??? i personally think it's more fun to eat a *whole* candy bar rather than an 1/8 of a candy bar.

at work i've been task with responding to comments on a draft environmental impact report on a winery. reading public comments is one of the rewards of this job. the comments go into the public record for a document and a project, and are published with the final version of the document. no matter how much i may agree with a commenter's general stance, it can be very difficult to read some of their letters with a straight face.
my favorite comment from the letters i'm wading through this week: 'if anyone considers those vines and wires, etc., more pleasing than redwood groves, or pleasing at all, that person must be the owner, or his mother.'
