Here's a cute one from reader Jill Beardsley of Lucan, Ontario:
A farmer was driving along the road with a load of fertilizer. A
little boy, playing in front of his house, saw him and called,
"What've you got in your truck?"
"Fertilizer," the farmer replied.
"What are you going to do with it?" asked the little boy.
"Put it on strawberries," answered the farmer.
"You ought to live here," the little boy advised him. "We put sugar
and cream on ours."

Even though his nemesis is named for this classic dessert, it remains
one of Basil St. Jacques' favorites.
