Thanks to Patricia Weigand of Newburgh, Indiana for this:
"Hubby Pie"
Can be prepared 20 years ahead.
Crust:
1 hard-skinned hubby
1 comfortable sofa
Filling:
1 TV remote control
6 pack of beer
1 packet chips (crisps)
1 family size pizza
1 large serve nacho
1 melted cheese sandwich
15 years patience
lifetime of loving care
1 ounce of resignation
Cram one thick-skinned hubby into a well worn greased and comfortable
sofa and leave to set (probably will take length of one sport show),
remove from family room and bring to kitchen to finish filling.
Mix TV remote control, chip packet, pizza, hot dog, nachos and cheese
sandwich on a large tray. Add six pack of beer slowly (to avoid
excess gas), bind with a lot of patience, loving care and resignation.
Be careful to place hubby and filling carefully back in front of the
TV so as not to disturb the view of the screen and leave to solidify
indefinitely.
Head back to your computer and have a marvelous time chatting with
your online friends undisturbed. Or, go shopping!
