Congrats! But don't they miss you at the pub?

There you go, you screwed up and paid your tab on your way out the last time. If you would have left it stand, they would miss you. A lot.

True, that taught me not bury the bodies too deep next time! Quote: f you would have left it stand, they would miss you. A lot.
It would have been fun to do three rounds with the Texan ex-marine and finished the conversation with "not my problem, get the muppet who wrote it to sort it!"

Why do hot dog buns come in packs of 8, but hot dogs come in packs of 10??
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

you're not buying enough at a time. you're supposed to buy four packs of hot dogs and five packs of buns.

I knew it had to be some sort of conspiracy

Because some people, like me, like to go bun-less.

This has been explained elsewhere.
Buns are less resilient than the hot dogs so it is often the case that a bun becomes soggy or ripped.
There are actuarial tables that show for every 8 hot dogs you need 10 buns because of loss.
Originally the bun-makers did this to be nice and then they lobbied and got a law put into place that states, Quote: "if consumer suffers no loss of bunnage, said consumer must throw away 2 extra buns".
You are illegally eating those extra buns and will be reported, post haste.

Why Don't Hot Dogs and Hot Dog Buns Come in Packs of Equal Number? - YouTube[^]
The TLDW: It has to do with tradition. Meat is generally sold by the pound (1.6oz dog, 1lb total = 10 dogs per pack). Bread pans generally come in multiples of 4 by tradition. So unless the meat industry changes its standard or the bread industry spends a ton of money making new equipment, this is just how it is.

As a spot check of your rant, I went to tesco.com (that's what popped into my head) and searched for "hot dog"
For the result search returned, the results are as followed
Number of dogs in pack:
8/8/6/6/6/8/10/5/8/10/4/8/10/w/w/w/w/w/w/w/w
w= sold by weight, number of dogs not specified
For the buns, these were:
6/6/6/4
So the only conclusion I can establish is: Hot dog packs typically contain more dogs than bun packs contain buns, and 8 Hot Dogs appears to be the common pack size. If it more common for the US pack size to be 10, this might be the source of the obesity problem, as someone will eat those extra 2, "as it would be a shame to waste them".

So, it's possible to regurgitate (food).
However, there's apparently no word, gurgitate.
Looking into this further (if I didn't, one of you would have) I found that there's a Latin root, gurgis (surprise!). However - deep contemplation of the meaning of said root, I realize the word should properly be ungurgitate.
This kind of misguided lexicographical disinformation makes me nauseous.

Well - it really should be ungurgitate - unless you eat the same stuff, again. Then, and only then, does it make sense. Regurgitate covers the return trip IN.

I may have posted this earlier, but that is why Oatmeal is The Perfect Food.
Suppose you eat a bowl of oatmeal. Alas, something or other makes you nauseous. When you ungurgitate the oatmeal you are fortunate enough to catch it in your original bowl.
It looks the same as before you ate it.
It's still warm.
You can just eat it again!
