Dinner Date

[MossLake]

A while back, when I was considerably younger, I picked up a lovely date at
her parents' home.

I'd scraped together some money to take her to a fancy restaurant.

She ordered the most expensive items on the menu. Shrimp cocktail. LobsterPatron. Champagne.

I asked her, "Does your mother feed you like that when you eat at home?"

"No," she replied. "but my mother's not expecting a b___ j__ tonight."

I said "Would you care for dessert?"
