Reader Leslie Grill sent us this food funny:

I remember one time when I was home visiting my folks. My mom asked
me to set the table for dinner. I opened the refrigerator and taped
to the inside of the door was a risque picture of a lovely, slender,
perfectly built, but scantily-clad young woman. "Mom, what's this?"
I asked.

"Oh, I put that up there to remind me not to overeat," she answered.

"Is it working?" I asked.

"Yes and no," she explained. "I've lost 15 pounds, but your dad has
gained 20!"

This spicy, sweet, and sour chutney will keep up to a month
refrigerated, so consider making a double or even triple batch.
