I would like to know

Who came up with the phrase 'in a pickle'. I mean, what exactly prompted the choice to give the word pickle a double meaning, one of which having nothing at all to do with the actual food product. I have no idea, but the phrase is too entertaining NOT to use.

Incidentially, if you ordered a print, those were shipped out on Monday, and everyone should have them shortly - again, my apologies about the delay. Now if my insurance company would get back to me tomorrow I'd be a little cheerier. As it stands right now, I could very well be in a pickle.

If a pickle were a problem, I wonder if it'd be the dill or the sweet variety.
