Bikini?

It was a blazingly hot, sunny day and as I was walking my dog in the triple-digit air, I heard my neighbor call my name. She was sitting by the pool and remarked good-naturedly on the heat. I responded cheerfully and dabbed at the perspiration on my face. My neighbor then said something odd. She said she had a bikini for me. Startled, I said kindly yet firmly, “I don’t do bikinis.”  My neighbor started laughing and said, “Not bikini, I said zucchini!”  

“Oh!” I said, without missing a beat, “I do zucchinis.”
