Pigging Out

Saturday.  The scene: dinner time in the Bud House.

Spud:  What’s for dinner?

Tilly:  Bacon eggs pork sausages beans tomatoes leftover potato croquettes I found in the bottom of the freezer from when the kids were here in August because I’ve run out of hash browns and bread to soak it all up.

Spud:  Bacon?  But we had gammon yesterday.  Why are we having what is effectively the same meat again?

Tilly [Not bothering to put up a fight she knows she’ll lose]:  Fine.  What do you want instead?

Spud:  Sandwiches.  Got any ham?

Spud:  Do I have to have bacon?  I had ham yesterday and gammon the day before.

Tilly: [Previous bracketed comment refers]:  Fine.  No bacon; just have the pork sausages.

Spud:  Okay, great!

Thanks to Granny1947 for this one, too.

With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which almost went unnoticed last week.  

Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote The Hokey Cokey, died peacefully at age 93.  

The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin.  They put his left leg in.  That was when the trouble started.

Query from a t-shirt:

What if The Hokey Pokey really is what it’s all about?
