HAVE IT YOUR WAY
An elderly couple is relaxing on a park bench
beside a large pond. Across the pond food vendors are selling a variety of tasty wares
from carts. The woman says to her husband, "You know, I would really love an ice
cream cone."
Hubby replies, "Well, I'll go to get you one."
Wife says, "But you'll forget what I want. You should write it down."
Hubby replies, "No I won't; what flavor do you want?"
Wife says, "Hmm. Get me a strawberry cone with chocolate sprinkles, please."
Hubby valiantly replies, "Okay, a strawberry cone with chocolate sprinkles. See, I'll
remember!"
Several hours pass and, finally her husband returns. The wife asks him, "What took
you so long, did you get lost?" Her husband replies gleefully, "No, I did not,
and I even got what you wanted."
The wife opens the bag to discover a cheeseburger and fries.
Frowning she turns to her husband and says, "I knew you you should have written the
order down." Her husband answers, "What do you mean? Everything is there."
And the the wife tartly answers, "Oh no it's not! Look, you forgot the
pickles!" |
