I used to like new things
But now I like used
Without a use by date

If you are divorced, does that mean you are used or just pre-owned?

If you think that's bad, try a cup of kopi luwak, which is essentially coffee beans that have been eaten and partially digested by a type of civet. Plantation workers snatch them up as soon as they are excreted, for immediate roasting.

If you owe alimony, you're still owned. :wink:

I love used books and used clothes because they can be found for so cheap and I don't have a lot of money to spend on either. Even if I did have a lot of money I would probably still buy used stuff because it has more character. Whenever I get a used musical wind instrument (such as a whistle) I dip the mouthpiece in rubbing alcohol or mouthwash and then play. I haven't caught any diseases from doing that...yet. :P
