Do Not Eat Around the Brazil Nuts
Yeah you heard me.
When you're invited to my house you will be my honored guest. I will do everything I reasonably can to ensure that you are well entertained, well fed, well boozed, in short -- well loved. You wouldn't be there if I intended otherwise.
But there's just one thing you gotta promise me in return. When I put out a bowl of mixed nuts for your delectation, eat your share of the Brazil nuts. Don't make me eat them all. I don't really like them either. But we all have to pull together and do our share. So don't rely on others to keep picking up the slack for you.
DO NOT EAT AROUND THE BRAZIL NUTS.
Thanks for your cooperation.

You should take one for the team and eat those nuts.
What if I invited you to my house and made you eat the abundance of red cabbage left in the salad after everyone ate all the good stuff? No sir, I would not make you eat that red cabbage! Damn cabbage - tits on a bull it is...
Radishes too...

Sorry, this is not negotiable. YOU WILL EAT YOUR SHARE OF BRAZIL NUTS or John Ashcroft himself will see to it you are indicted for terrorist activities.

I once spied a cat turd on the living room floor and commented on it. Oscar's ex-wife, Anne-Marie, went over and very bravely picked it up and brought it to me. "It's just a Brazil nut" That about sums it up - Cat turd::Brazil nut.
