The mysterious "DRSPAGHETI" strikes again:
A man walked into a bar and ordered a glass of wine. He took a sip of
the wine, then tossed the remainder into the bartender's face. Before
the bartender could recover from the surprise, the man began weeping.
"I'm really sorry. I keep doing that to bartenders. I can't tell you
how embarrassing it is to have a compulsion like this."
Far from being angry, the bartender was sympathetic. Before long, he
was suggesting that the man see a psychoanalyst about his problem. "I
happen to have the name of a psychoanalyst," the bartender said. "My
brother and my wife have both been treated by him, and they say he's
as good as they come." The man wrote down the name of the doctor,
thanked the bartender, and left. The bartender smiled, knowing he'd
done a good deed for a fellow human being.
Six months later, the man was back. "Did you do what I suggested?"
the bartender asked, serving the glass of white wine.
"I certainly did," the man said. "I've been seeing the psychoanalyst
twice a week." He took a sip of the wine. He then threw the
remainder into the bartender's face.
The flustered bartender wiped his face with a towel. "The doctor
doesn't seem to be doing you any good," he spluttered.
"On the contrary," the man replied. "He's done me a world of good."
"But you just threw the wine in my face again!" the bartender
exclaimed.
"Yes," the man said. "But it doesn't embarrass me anymore!"

I believe that Brazil is the only place on Earth where the avocado is
treated exclusively as a fruit. Here is one of their many sweet
temptations based on the "alligator pear."
Avocado Ice Cream (Sorvete de Abacate)
4 ripe avocados, peeled and seeded
1 Tbs (15 ml) fresh lime juice
1/4 cup (60 ml) sugar
2 cups (500 ml) whipping cream
Blend the avocados, lime juice, and sugar in an electric blender or
food processor. Combine the avocado mixture with the cream in a
mixing bowl. Place in a shallow container in the freezer until almost
set. Scrape into a mixing bowl and beat at low speed with an electric
mixer. Return to the freezer until set. Alternately, freeze in an
ice cream maker according to the manufacturer's directions. Serves 4
to 6.
