Episode 64: The BBQ


FIMM and Bonnie were planning a BBQ dinner to be held at their house.  Bonnie told FIMM she would like to invite their neighbors they hadn't met, since neither one of them had family living nearby. 

When the phone rang with the first RSVP, FIMM answered.

FIMM: "Hello."

Neighbor: "Hello.  This is your neighbor, Mr. Adams, from two doors down.  I was calling to let you know we will attend the BBQ.  I have a question, though."

FIMM: "What is it?"

Neighbor: "Is this a family party?"

FIMM: "No.  Our family lives far away."

Neighbor: "I was asking if children were invited to attend."

FIMM: "Sorry, we don't have any children to tend to."

Neighbor: "I simply would like to know if this is an adult party only, or are entire families with children
invited?"

By now Mr. Adams was beginning to wonder if his neighbor FIMM knew how to read the directions on a gas grill.  KABOOM!

Lol...that one was good!
The best I could come up with was a link to the foot in mouth disease currently going around in the UK! Everytime I heard about it on the BBC, I kept picturing all the British cows standing around with thier front hooves in their mouths. Funny, yet not.
My mind is a scary place to be....

Anyway, have a great night!

About Me

I was raised by two Atheists of Jewish heritage, married a non practicing Catholic and became a non denominational Christian due, in part, to some Amway meetings and a Jehovah's Witness who came to my door. My purple crayon writes with humor and almost always a little out of the lines. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This blog is my creative and fun way of sharing my thoughts on communication skills relating mostly to homeschooling and sharing and defending the faith. It also reveals a bit about how the Lord took this shy Agnostic girl and allowed her to find her voice and her purpose, a zany voice to the Christian community with insight as to what unbelievers need to hear about Christ Jesus. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'll share news items, quotes, family friendly humor, tips, trivia, and my newest feature: Question of the Week. I invite you to come share your thoughts! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For more creative fun with JoJo you can visit www.ArtofEloquence.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver." -Proverbs 25:11
