Thanks to Rosemary Zwick for this classic food funny:

The Governor made room on his busy calendar to hear the pleas of one
Mrs. Snooker that her husband be released from the state penitentiary.
"What was he sentenced for?" asked the Governor gently.

"For stealing a loaf of bread," nervously replied the offender's wife.

"Is he a good husband?"

"No," she replied frankly, blushing a bit. "He beats me when he gets
drunk, he bullies our children, he's unfaithful, and really not much good at all."

"It sounds to me as though you're better off without him," said the
Governor. "Why on earth do you want him out of jail?"

"Well," she explained, "we're out of bread again."

Here's a liqueur very similar to Grand Marnier that's great on ice cream
or fresh fruit. It's also pretty good for straight sipping.

Orange Liqueur

1 cup (250 ml) brandy
1 cup (250 ml) orange sections
1 cup (250 ml) sugar
1 cup (250 ml) brown sugar
2 tsp (10 ml) finely chopped orange zest

Combine the ingredients in a jar and let sit at room temperature for 3
to 5 weeks. Strain and pour into bottles.
Makes about 3 cups (750 ml).
