Thanks Dr. Metha, I try to write on a variety of subjects from the frivilous to the serious. This one jumped into my head this morning when I sat down at the computer. It is based on an actual experience shortly after I married. I had no idea it was necessary to "scout" pintos for stones before cooking. My wife got a good laugh out of that one and, fortunately, no broken teeth. Elton
