Ever think about what kind of cheese your boss reminds you of? Apparently, the good folks at the American Diary Assn. have. It turns out "sharp cheddar" is the No. 1 response according to an ADA survey. However, Northeasterners said their bosses were like "Herman Muenster" cheese, while Westerners chose "Pungent Limburger."

Dairy II
It's almost summer, and everywhere you go people are stuffing their faces with ice cream. And after the pleasure often comes the pain: the ice cream headache, an intense, sharp pain occasionally experienced after the first few bites of ice cream. It's easily preventable, according to an article in the July issue of Muscle & Fitness magazine. Neurologists believe the pain is caused by the constriction of blood vessels in the head brought on by the sudden cold. They recommend eating the first few bites slowly and trying to keep the cold stuff away from the back of the roof of the mouth.
Dairy III
Let the celebrations begin--it's National Dairy Month. Joining the milk party hysteria are eight NBA players who appear on special trading cards wearing milk mustaches. (The limited-edition card sheet is available in the June issue of Sports Illustrated for Kids.) Oddly, none of the eight featured players, who include the Lakers' Eddie Jones and the Pacers' Reggie Miller, made it to the NBA finals.
