Robin’s 2 cents
Two confirmed bachelors sat talking, their conversation drifted from politics to cooking.
“Igot a cookbook once,” said one. “But I could never do anything with it”.
“Too much fancy work in it eh?” asked the other.
“You said it. Every one of the recipes began the same way – ‘Take a clean dish.’”
