Thanks to Rene Chandler of Lenexa, Kansas for proving that not all bad
food puns come from South Africa.

A well known chef bought several cases of carp. Endeavoring to create
a new signature dish, he tried combining herbs and spices with
shortening but found that the cooking time had to be exact. So when
the chef received a phone call during the dinner hour, he had to cut
it short, explaining, "I left my carp in saffron Crisco."
