the youngest son announced that he had just signed up at an

"Oh, come on, quit joking," snickered one.
"You didn't really do that, did you?"
"You would never get through basic training," scoffed another.

"Oh come on now," said my friend.
"Surely you have met at least one girl that you wanted to marry."
"Yes there was one girl, once.
I guess she was the one perfect girl, the only perfect girl I really
ever met.
She was just the right everything.
I really mean that she was the perfect girl for me."
"Well, why didn't you marry her? asked my friend.
I shrugged my shoulders and replied.
"She was looking for the perfect man."

Recently, while we were watching TV, she was baking some
french fries and asked me to pause the show.
In less than a minute, she came back to the den.
"What was that about?" I asked.

halfway through cooking.

"I just turned the pan around."

around hard boiled eggs and covered with cheese sauce.
She absolutely adored them and insisted that I give her the
recipe.
After telling her twice that she really didn't want it,
I finally gave in.
Just after she put her third helping on her plate,
I began the recipe. "Take three pound of ground deer meat . . . "
She put her third helping back on the serving platter.

"Somebody put pineapple juice," he cried,
"in my pineapple juice!"

occasion, "has stolen the cork to my lunch?"
