Slice Ham So Thin, Your In-Laws Will Never Come Back

Slice ham so thin, your in-laws will never come back

This pearl of wisdom came my way
So many years ago
A TV ad that to this day,
The funniest I know

It sliced and diced, did everything
A kitchen chef could seek
In fact, it claimed that it could make
ONE tomato last a week!

But best for me as I recall,
Laughed so hard, I could die-
Onions it could dice so fast,
You don’t have time to cry!



From “The Miracle Slicer”
