1400: Crying Over Spoiled Milk
Crying Over Spoiled Milk |

Explanation[edit | edit source]
In the original, Jon's contorted face as he held a carton of milk was the only visible result of the smell and/or taste of the spoiled milk. Here, an ambulance is racing by outside, indicating that emergency medical services were needed. Given that the results of drinking spoiled milk isn't usually so severe, it may be inferred that someone really powered through the taste and smell.
The title is a pun on the phrase "crying over spilled milk", meaning worrying about unfortunate events which have already happened and cannot be changed. It is usually found in advice against doing so.
