BUT IT WAS ON SALE!

Jim, the cave man, dragged home his hunting trophy for his woman, Chris. He presented his “kill” at the front door. It was marked “Williams-Sonoma.”

She asked, “What IS it?”

Jim beamed. (Yes, that’s a joke.) “Stainless steel.” Hardy har har.

She replied, "Yeah, Honey, I see that. But what IS it?"

Jim beamed again. "It's made in ITALY!"

Now she was thinking about some REAL Jim Beam. "Wowie -- but what IS it, Jim?"

"It's $149, but I got it for $36!!!"

"Great, Jim. WHAT IS IT?"

Victoriously, he proclaimed, "A fish poacher!"

The perfect straight line. She retorted, "I have never stolen anything before!"

He laughed, and they found a home in the pantry for it. They may use it once in a while, like an ice-cream maker, a waffle iron or a tortilla warmer.

Projected date of paying for itself ap-POACHes 2055.

Praise report: We’ve prayed before for Pam, a lovely nurse who remains on disability leave because of a huge blood clot in her brain. She was in terrible pain some days ago, graded at “Level 9” because she could not hold food down and so forth. But she’s been feeling much better lately, grading her pain now at a “4.” She was able to attend Bible study and go out to lunch with study members. One said, “What a gift to see her laughing!” Thank You, Lord, for giving her the power to overcome. Keep it coming. (Revelation 3:5)
