Hubby likes tuna. I buy it a lot. It’s cheap. I made tuna taquitos last night. lol
Macaroni salad in the summer...Tuna casserole in the winter...cheap and good for you comfort food.
Looks like it already netted you.
I bet their attorneys are trying to got one to flip on the others.
Charlie Tuna, LOL. I remember him and those commercials.
If I recall correctly, Charlie Tuna the famous DJ, passed away a while back.
Hypocrisy-of-The-Sea indeed. And she called GWB corrupt. Sheesh.
