A Pair Paring Pears
She said, “I pared a pear for our breakfast. Here is your half.”
He said, “I only get half?”
She nodded. “We are sharing.”
He said, “Then it isn’t a pear.”
She said, “Huh?”
He said, “Half of a pair is a single.”
She said, “A single — as in one whole?”
He nodded. “Yes.”
She said, “In that case you’re having a single pear for breakfast.”
He said, “But you brought me tea and toast, too.”
She said, “I brought you one tea and two pieces of toast — hey, why don’t we ever have a pair of toasts?”
He said, “Please dear, this is breakfast. Lets save the toasts until after five o’clock.”
She said, “Anybody listening to this conversation would suspect we’ve already started drinking.”
He said, “We do make quite a pair, don’t we?”

Church Lady, we have not officially met any of our neighbors, but we haven’t moved into our house. We are staying in staff housing until our furniture arrives.
Nice to know that jet lag hasn’t quelled the pun fest!

I do hope it was a Texas or Washington pear. That way a half pear would be large enough for a pair of nitwits.

apple pears are the best… Korean pears are even better.

Who would think so much hilarity could stem from a single piece of fruit?
Almost unberryble…
:-p

I would never assume you’d been drinking. You couldn’t possibly come up with repartee that witty if you had alcohol in your system. 😉
And I thought we are nuts…
