    Good lord, how could I forget broccoli?
    If I had a girlfriend, she'd accused me of having an affair with broccoli. Every meal is served with a whole head of broccoli. Sometimes more. I eat a lot of broccoli.

    I consume an illegal amount of broccoli. I am glad there is someone else out there like me!
