yeah, take it back and exchange it. even a Flex magazine is better than that.
One guest that came to my Christmas party gave me a gift of a gourmet box of stuffed olives. Big olives stuffes with crumbled blue cheese which are used for top end martinis. Quite a nice gift actually. Until I saw on the box the words : EXPIRES 6-01.
Most people would have marked that guest off their future party lists. But no, not me. I am going to have her over again. And serve her a martini. When she complains of the rancid taste, I am going to say "well I used your Christmas party to make it. Wait, look - it's expired." Only then will I mark her off the future lists.
