"We need to get some butter and some jam the next time we go to the shops".
Now, what does that mean? It means next time you go to the shop you should get some butter and some jam because we haven't got much left. Ok. That's what it means. It doesn't mean "I've just eaten all the butter and all the jam", does it?
Hell no. Because if you'd just eaten all the butter and the jam, that's what you'll say, isn't it?
Not if you're a woman you won't.
I hereby sacrifice two pieces of lovely toast to the Bin God, as sacrifices to my mouth are not accepted unless they carry Butter and Jam. I am SO demanding.
