Pandora was a Greek woman with an extremely large box that was frequently opened by all of the townspeople, (even the women), (the women who liked boxes!). Sometimes Pandora would hold large picnics where she would offer her box to everyone. If they were lucky they would also receive ketchup.
Pandora was very generous with the use of her box, however some people refused because they thought it was dirty as it had been passed around a few too many times! It was quite the Pandora's Box!
Tyreece looked forward to meeting Pandora for a taste of her box.
