Ham And Cheese On A Bun

It was the night before Christmas, and I couldn't sleep, I got out of bed without so much as a peep. And headed to the kitchen for something to eat, buck naked, except for the slippers on my feet. I didn't dare turn on the nightlight and wake my wife, for the last time I did that, she threatened my life. The house was dead quiet; I could not hear a sound as I ventured downstairs, feeling my way around. I got to the living room, stumbling a few times, then I heard music that sounded like Christmas chimes. So, I went to the window and pulled back the drapes, thinking the neighbors were playing some Christmas tapes. I forgot I was as naked as a jaybird; till I heard the loudest scream I had ever heard. The church quire was midnight-caroling on my lawn, and in plain view, I stood bare-assed, not a stitch on. Judging by the faces I saw scrambling to leave, I don't think they'll ever forget this Christmas Eve. It was never my intent to flash anyone, I simply wanted a ham and cheese on a bun.

Oh my, this is hilarious, Emile. I so much want to believe it actually happened, but I'm sure it was fiction. So funny!
