"A day in the life of a jar of peanut butter" (2 and a half hours). See if you
can convince anyone that it's an artistic movie. Tell them it pushes our boundaries and
makes us think about things from a different perspective. Insist that it's really a tragic
movie, because in the end the peanut butter is left to the same fate that we knew all
along was inevitable. Say you cried when you filmed the final scene.

the peanut butter, and sell the milk. If anyone confronts you about selling the milk,
claim you're sure you cleared it in advance. Say the store manager "Eustace"
told you over the phone that it would be okay. Insist you really spoke on the phone to
someone named Eustace who said he was the store's manager. Take several minutes to be
convinced that he wasn't genuine, and then insist you "knew all along" that his
voice was "shifty" and he couldn't be trusted. Start swearing and get angry.

ask you about it days later, claim you don't remember because you were drunk at the time.
Insist you don't want to talk about it. Do it again the next year.

constitutes a bomb that I wouldn't be allowed to bring through here?" Keep asking

backside, let loose the PB enema with all your might. If you really have nerve,
you'll then start eating it.
