Picky Tongues — Something Sour
You have to choose one flavor that your sense of taste will no longer be able to distinguish.

My sister sent me an email today with this story: "My grouchy elderly neighbor, Mr. N, told me that he and his wife celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on Saturday night with a big family party.
