This one from Rosemary Zwick is as old as the hills, but it still gets a
smile out of me every time:

A guy goes into the doctor's office. There is a banana stuck in one of
his ears, a carrot stuck in one nostril, and a cucumber in the other
ear. The man says, "Doc, this is terrible. What's wrong with me?"

The doctor says, "Well, first of all, you're not eating right."

If you are partial to either shrimp or crab you can double the amount of
one used in this recipe and eliminate the other.

Seafood Dip

1 can (4 oz, 110 g) crab meat, drained
3 scallions (spring onions), green and white parts, chopped
2-4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
8 oz (225 g) cream cheese at room temperature
1/2 cup (125 ml) mayonnaise
1/4 cup (60 ml) tomato paste
