So last night I join Wifey and Laverne at a restaurant for dinner.
They got there about an hour before me and were half way thru eating by the time I showed up.
Small talk. Greetings.
The waiter comes up to me asks what I'd like.
I'm not overly hungry so I just order a hamburger and fries.
I tell the waiter:
"Just the burger and fries...no garnish! No onion, no tomato, no pickle...just beef and bun."
And then all of sudden Wifey chimes in with:
"I'll have his pickle!"
And then the four mature adults....a total of almost 200 years of life experience....start to giggle because Wifey wants my pickle.

Dinner goes well. Conversation, a few laughs.
Do I need to mention that Wifey barely touched my pickle?
Sometimes a pickle is only a cigar... or something.

Joss Whedon... Joss Whedon...
ReplyDeleteI've got it! Isn't she that hot-looking young English soul singer?
Dear Lois,
ReplyDeleteYou were on vacation?
Dear I Wasn't Aware of That,
ReplyDeleteDon't you have funny books to hawk or something?
Love,
Lois
There must have been something wrong with your pickle. Don't worry. Happens a lot.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lois!
ReplyDeleteSparkle, there are a lot of guys out there who say, "Sorry, there's never been anything wrong with my pickle before!
ReplyDeleteSo...apparently Wifey doesn't like Baby Gerkin pickles?
ReplyDelete"Do I need to mention that Wifey barely touched my pickle?"
ReplyDeleteNobody is surprised.
p.s.
What a touching tribute to Canada on our birthday...you shouldn't have. *wipes eyes* Just wonderful.
