“I stopped on the way back from grocery shopping this
afternoon to collect my mail. Arriving home I dropped my groceries
on the kitchen counter and hastened to my favourite chair to
open the package with your book. "88 tasty treats",
I told myself. "I'll just sample 1 or 2 before I put the
groceries away". Human nature being what it is, 1 or 2 led
to 1 or 2 more, then 1 or 2 more..... I feasted on, flipping
back and forth, smorgasbord style, while groceries sat forgotten
in the kitchen. Ice cream and frozen peas slowly attained room
temperature. I need to shop again tomorrow but it was worth it!
I shall treasure Humour on Wry, with Mustard”. – H.G.,
Bradford
