This may not be your thing

But read it anyway!! This is hillarious (read the whole thing or you might die)

An excerpt from a passage on how to serve high tea:

So, you've got the time free, the open space to sit, the lovely atmosphere, the things you need to make and drink cups of tea, and snacks to munch on. The last element is...your guests. The key to this whole enterprise is relaxation and conversation. You've made an ambience that is conducive to Zen-tastic discourse, so enjoy it along with your company. Perhaps you would like five or six guests, perhaps only one. Heck, perhaps the most pleasant company is just yourself.
In any event, once the guests arrive, think Lewis Carroll -- read some poetry, catch up on old times, do a little dance, play a word game, or simply talk. You can start like this:

You: "Why, Terry, speaking of tea…did you know that tea is the second most poop-u-lahhh beverage on the planet?" [which is true, by the way]

Guest: "Why, Bushrod, I certainly did not. My goodness. What, pray tell (rolling the ‘r' in ‘pray') is the most poop-u-lahhh beverage on the planet?"

You: "Well, my good [man or lady (predetermined)]…it is woo-tah, of course!"

Then you both guffah gutterally: "Mmm-hoh, hoh, hoh," or giggle: "Tee-hee-hee" depending on your preference, and sip your tea.

After all, that's what you did all of this for in the first place. Don't forget that. So sit back and enjoy these relaxing moments brought to you by your friends at SYW.

Cheers!
