So what you are saying is they may get tea-d off! lol The Jays look great, 5 games over .500 to start the season is awesome! I cannot say that about my Tigers! But I am hooked on my Wings right now! They are looking very good! Shelly

I got a kick out of your post....and then the comments completely blew me away! Some are quite curious to me.....others actually mystifying....interesting how one's perspective skews interpretation. My tea of choice is the one Aveda sells......but I chose to keep it for drinking....now I wish I'd sent some to a few folks.

Naut ..
Imagine if they dumped all that tea into the waters 
.. Soon there would be another 'Pork Bill' adding Millions of dollars to find out why the fish were acting strangely.

yahhh, by not paying any income tax that'll help this country re-shape itself! Last year, and continuing this year, is a Great example of what this idea of free-for-all market can and will do to a country. Way to go guys! (of course I am completely objective here...hem...hem... I'm only working for the fed. tax agency...So...)

I dunno, to me this seemed like a bogus, unfiltered non-protest.
In Boston, way back when, they dumped the tea someone in Britain planned to profit from. The settler's protest also cost the tax man. And it switched the colonists to coffee. Who'd a thunk a cuppa coffee is actually an ongoing political statement from some 250 years ago.

I can't figure out if the last part is serious or in jest; either way, it's amusing~
