::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FOOD FUNNY :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Here's another one of those jokes about an intellectually challenged
person of undetermined gender and unknown hair color from Julia in
Alabama.
John gets a call from his blonde girlfriend, Buffy. "I've got a
problem," says Buffy.
"What's the matter?" asks John.
"Well, I've bought this jigsaw puzzle, but it's too hard. None of the
pieces fit together and I can't find any edges."
"What's the picture of?" asks John.
"It's of a big rooster," replies Buffy.
"All right," says John, "I'll come over and have a look."
So he goes over to Buffy's house. Buffy leads John into her kitchen
and shows him the jigsaw on the kitchen table. John looks at the
jigsaw and then turns to Buffy and says, "For Pete's sake - put the
cornflakes back in the box."
