Beef Bourguignon

"Cursing"

Waking up after a restless night, Annie turned
to her husband Sam and frowned.

"I can't believe it! All night long you kept cursing
me in your sleep!"

Sam replied, "Who was sleeping?"

"Beef Bourguignon"

The newly-married husband came home from the
office to find his young wife in floods of tears.
"Darling, whatever is the matter?" he asked.

"Sweetheart," she sobbed, "The most terrible thing
has happened! I cooked my very first Beef Bourguignon
for you, and I got it out of the oven to season it, and
the phone rang. When I came back from answering
the phone," she sobbed again. "I found that the cat
had eaten it!"

"Don't worry, darling," said her husband. "Don't cry.
We can get a new cat tomorrow."

"Hardware Store Shopping"

"You just go ahead," said the man to his wife when they
got to the shopping mall. "While you're shopping, I'll just
browse in the hardware store."

An hour later, she returned and saw him at the checkout
counter. The clerk was ringing up the last of a pile of tools
and supplies that would fill two wheelbarrows.

"Are you buying all this?" his wife asked incredulously.

"Well, yes," he said, embarrassed. Then waving his arm
toward the interior of the store, he added, "But look at
all the stuff I'm leaving behind."
