Hi List, I received this cute joke the other day and just can't quit giggling at it for some reason. I almost fell off my chair laughing. As ham sandwiches go, it was perfection: a thick slab of ham on a fresh Bun with crisp lettuce and plenty of expensive, light brown, gourmet Mustard. The corners of my jaw aching in anticipation, I carried it to the table in our backyard, picked it up with both hands but was stopped by my wife suddenly at my side. "Here, hold Johnny (our six-week-old son) while I get my sandwich", she said. I had him balanced between my left elbow and shoulder and was reaching again for the ham sandwich when I noticed a streak of mustard on my fingers. I love mustard. I had no napkin. I licked it off. It was not mustard. No man ever put a baby down faster.... It was the first and only time I have sprinted with my tongue protruding. With a washcloth in each hand, I did the sort of routine shoeshine boys do; only I did it on my tongue. Later, after she stopped crying from laughing so hard, my wife said, "Now you know why they call that fancy mustard 'Poupon'." We have a same-theme story in the family involving my great-niece and her father. I just can't remember if he smelled or tasted. We still tease him about it! tracy ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for a deal? Find great prices on flights and hotels with Yahoo!

GROSS!!!!!!! And, never hold a baby's face over your face, after the baby has just eaten. That happened to me, when Lindsey was a baby. And, of course, my mouth was open. I felt like that guy probably looked. The baby sitter gave me a look, then ran for a towel. :o) Lynn PS That line is there in my email reply, but disappears when it reaches the list. ----- Original Message ----- From: Tracy To: PADUTCH-LIFE Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2007 1:20 PM Subject: [PD-LIFE] cute joke...Ham Sandwich Hi List, I received this cute joke the other day and just can't quit giggling at it for some reason.
