Jolly Pennoes

Our daughter’s friend has a part-time job in a pizza parlor. He was taking someone’s order the other day when they mentioned that they would like “jolly pennoes” on their pizza.

He thought and thought what the person might mean, and then it came to him:

“Do you mean ‘jalapeños’?”

The customer stared at him. “Yeah,” he repeated. “Jolly pennoes.”

How to keep from laughing in such a situation? Well . . . it’s a pickle. No pun intended.

PRAYER REQUEST: According to the weather reports, it is our understanding that it is 122 degrees in Iraq right now -- and the low will be 111! Our troops need our prayers for strength, endurance, and safety. Lord, encourage our soldiers. Give these men and women an extra layer of protection from the heat as well as the ravages of war and the loneliness from being so far away. They need . . . Sonblock! (2 Thessalonians 2:16,17)
