We would hyphenate: Garbanzo-Beaner

If I could marry a legume, it would have to be the chickpea.



Lo siento, lentil. I know we’ve had some good times and we go so far back, but I read somewhere that you inhibit iron absorption and once I started to think about it I realized that you do in fact create in me a need to take frequent rests. Although I’m happy to help another overcome his/her/its inhibitions, an inhibition that messes with my absorption of iron is something that I simply cannot, must not, tolerate.

To my dear chickpea, I regret that my profession of love for you required such an explanation regarding the lentil. Let us move on shall we?

Friends: This is my cry for help.

None of you will talk to me/email me because I told you I am studying. And I am studying, but I can’t study all the time. No one wants to distract and that’s very considerate, but do you really want me sitting alone in my apartment considering matrimony to a legume? They won't even let the gays get married! One positive thing that has come out of my solitary confinement is that I’ve thought of some good jokes:

Joke Number 1:
Q: Melba, why are you taking the Nebraska bar exam?
A: Because that’s where all the good bars are.

Joke Number 2:
Q: What does Snoop Dogg call the bar exam?
A: The bizarre exam.
