The Potluck
She: “You may have the car today, I’m not going anywhere. I finished my grocery shopping yesterday … oh, no, I didn’t!”
He: “What did you forget?”
She: “And after I’d already gone back to the market once yesterday and told the clerk that I had a bone to pick with her, ’cause she’d let me check out without reminding me to pick up, um …”
He: “What did you forget?”
She: “She didn’t know either.”
He: “That was yesterday. What did you forget today?”
She: “Sunday’s potluck. They want finger food.”
He: “Oh, OK then, you’d better take the car and get to the store. Stalking the neighborhood with a cleaver isn’t the best thing for our reputation.”
She: “I’m going to tell the people at the church that you said that!”

That’s funny! 🙂
Carletta, yeah, but what really happened is funnier!
LOL…too funny
Thom — gives new meaning to the phrase “bite me” doesn’t it?
Indeed it does but so does the rebuttal LOL
Thom — no, the butt one was here.
I’m going to a potluck on Sunday, too. I’m bringing a salad though. I”m definitely staying away from fingers.
Kay — but if you don’t at least take your own fingers, how will you hold your fork?
Boy, did I get this wrong. I thought you needed food for fingers.
Don’t be silly, Nessa. Fingers don’t have mouths!
For the first time in my life, due to you, my image of a child with fingers in mouth has been completely transformed! And why? Because I started wondering what your punny monday photo of “finger food” would look like…ha ha ha
We have a potluck at church tomorrow too. I’m glad I just read this because it reminded me I’d better think about what to prepare.
Kelley — I have asked Amoeba to help me with both Fritoes (free toes) and finger food for PM, but he refuses to cooperate. Perhaps you can talk some sense into him? I even promised him I’d have the car all warmed up and running for the trip to the emergency room!
Don’t forget the napkins! I’m sure whatever you fix will be finger-licking good!
Linda — I’m thinking peanut butter and jelly sandwiches ….
LOL! One time when we were supposed to bring finger food for a fellowship, someone did bring cookies shaped like fingers.
Barbara — if I had more time and didn’t have to prepare the house for company, I might be inclined to do that.
I’d been to the store twice this week and gave up after that. We did without… until this afternoon. My brain must be on vacation with yours! 😉
