“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
