This one from "TRAINING2LAUGH" sounds like a true food funny to me:
I stopped at Dairy Queen on the way home from work one day. I told
the clerk I would like to have a hot fudge sundae with extra hot
chocolate. The young man stepped back and looked at the machine, then
me, and said, "Ma'am, we only have chocolate in one temperature!"

TODAY'S RECIPE
__________________________________________________
The Germans have such a sweet tooth that it is sometimes difficult to
tell the entrees from the desserts, and chocolate puddings are popular
all over the country. Here is an especially rich version from Frankfurt.
Frankfurt-Style Chocolate Pudding (Frankfurter Pudding)
1/4 lb (110 g) butter
2/3 cup (160 ml) sugar
5 egg yolks
3 oz (85 g) semi-sweet chocolate, melted
1 1/2 cups (375 ml) finely chopped almonds
3 Tbs (45 ml) bread crumbs
2 Tbs (30 ml) strong black coffee
1 Tbs (15 ml) rum (optional)
5 egg whites, stiffly beaten
Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg
yolks one at a time. Add the chocolate, almonds, bread crumbs,
coffee, and optional rum. Fold in the beaten egg whites. Butter the
inside of a ring mold or Bundt pan and coat with sugar. Pour the
mixture into the mold and cover with aluminum foil. Place in a large
pot of water that comes 2/3 up the side of the mold and simmer for 1
to 1 1/2 hours, until the pudding is completely set. Cool for 5
minutes and invert onto a serving platter. Serve warm with whipped
cream if desired. Serves 8 to 12.
