The hilarious tale of the punny slip

Whilst I and Callie were deeply immersed in the wonderful concoction that is Love Actually, we both were literally drooling into our pillows over the Brazilian hottie Rodrigo Santoro. Santoro plays Karl, the enigmatic chief designer that Sarah has been in love with for years and yet believes she'll never be good enough to deserve him. And who wouldn't be in love with him - ¡Díos mio! He is gorgeous! And he's so sweet! As Sarah opens herself up to him, revealing herself at her most vulnerable moment, he leans in and softly says into her eyes that she is beautiful. With tears brimming in our eyes, Callie and I both watched in silence this stirring unfolding of emotions. And then the one prick that destroys the blissful floating bubble. Callie takes a sip of her fizzy water and I say, "Boy, wouldn't I like to see his Brazil nuts." The reaction was immediate. Callie goes red and promptly has to make a dire effort to retain and swallow her sip of fizzy water that was by then burning to be sprayed about the room. My face goes red and I find tears welling up out of profound fountain of mirth kept deep inside of me. Callie manages to swallow and then joins me in laughing hysterically, trying to ask me if I just came up with that off the top of my head. Of course I did! I'm funny like that. Gradually our laughter died down, but the pun will last for ever.

Jessica! The first time I saw Love Actually he reminded me of Darren (when he had longer hair and was more in shape)! Especially because our boss gave me the same speech (in so many words) that Sarah gets from her boss! EWWW!!!! You think the guy that reminds me of Darren is cute!!! But Karl is really hot especially when he takes his shirt off...for once we agree on a guy!!!!
