  • [es-pree de less-ka/-iay] (idiom) A witty remark that occurs to you too late, literally on the way down the stairs. The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations defines esprit de l'escalier as, "An untranslatable phrase, the meaning of which is that one only thinks on one's way downstairs of the smart retort one might have made in the drawing room."

that is sad - and a bread factory is way better than a tire factory (for a while, I lived in a town with a mushroom farm - that was not pleasant when the wind was from the north....)

I grew up in a town with a bread factory... much better than a tire factory... almost as good as the Blommer factory.

Aw, this makes me a little sad and a lot nostalgic. I used to work kinda near there and I remember the smell vividly. Wonder Bread doesn't have the best reputation as far as breads go but their bread sure SMELLS like first class bread when baking!
