When life gives you lemons:


ask for the receipt
sell the lemons on eBay
ask for salt, tequila, and a shot glass!
find someone with a paper cut
alter their DNA and make GIANT lemons
make orange juice with them, and think how the heck you did it after all
suck out all of the vitamin C and yell "Eat That, Life"
just keep quiet and eat the stupid lemons
take them and when no one is looking, throw them through someone's window and run as fast as you can
make sure to write a "Thank you" note for them. Emails can be a bit too impersonal
