Here's a good one from Anna Welander:

Back when he was young, Pauly, to impress his date, took
her to a very chic Italian restaurant. After sipping some fine
wine, he picked up the menu and ordered. "We'll have the
Giuseppe Spondalucci," he said.

"Sorry, sir," said the waiter, "That's the proprietor."

Here's a quick and easy ending for an outdoor meal.

Caribbean Bananas

4 Tbs (60 ml) butter
1/4 cup (60 ml) dark rum
1/4 cup (60 ml) brown sugar
2 Tbs (30 ml) lime juice
The grated zest of 1 lime
1/2 tsp (2 ml) allspice
4 - 6 bananas, ripe but firm, peeled and halved crosswise

Combine the butter, rum, brown sugar, lime juice and zest,
and allspice in a saucepan and bring to a simmer over
moderate heat. Toss the bananas in the butter mixture to
coat well and grill directly over hot coals for 4 to 5 minutes,
turning 2 or 3 times. Return the bananas to the butter mixture
and serve immediately.
Serves 4 to 6.
