Hi Robert, My husband and I were invited to a wedding - found a hair in my soup and I put all the other guests sitting at the table, off their soup! Quite an embarrassing situation! Warmest wishes for Christmas to you and yours - Jennifer.

sorta like the old "Hey, waiter, there's a fly in my soup."....."Well keep it quiet or everybody's gonna want one".

That's funny, I don't care who you are, that right there is funny! Reminds me of the wit of my Father. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Lol! Robert, Your "couplet" was clever and entertaining. The waiter should more attention to the soup lol! I wish you the best of luck in the contest. PS, Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones:-) Alexis
