The Freezer Is Joes Territory
My guest said “I’ll throw this into the freezer for you”.
“No you won’t,” I replied.
“Why not?”
“Open the freezer.”
She did so and laughed.
“That’s Joe’s territory. Let him take care of it.
Yesterday I could not find my ice cream bars.
I told Joe we were out.
He began rummaging through the freezer
And brought out five boxes of them.
Whereas I could not find one box.”
“Honestly?” My friend asked.
“Who would lie about that?”
