Don’t worry, he doesn’t bite

By Clet Litter as told to Bob Simpson

Me and Punkin took a stroll. We met our neighbor lady, Girtha Widebody, out walking her little dog, Pastry. We were admiring Pastry, when Girtha said, “Don’t worry, he doesn’t bite, but he may lick you to death”.

I sez, “Well, I really don’t want Pastry to kill me, so are there any other options.” I heard about that all the way home. Punkin pointed out that I shoulda known what Girtha meant. I ought to go back and make it right. I caught up with Mrs. Widebody, (it wasn’t hard to do), and I apolergized to her dog.

Morton Trubleltoof was bragging that he baked a cherry pie. “Portia helped mix the flour and butter and set it in the re- frigerator. When the dough was cold, she rolled it on her special floured canvas pastry mat. I opened the can of cherry pie filling by myself and added some cinnamon. I called out to Portia to see if I should add more sugar to the canned filling. She said, ‘It’s already sweetened, but I like it a little sweeter. Go ahead and throw a tablespoon in.’

Clet, the pie turned out great. Portia had a slice and she liked it. She asked me if I had added the extra tablespoon of sugar. Well, sort of, I said. I did what you told me and threw in a tablespoon, but you might wanna be careful when you wedge out the other pie pieces, so you don’t hit the tablespoon.”

Old Man Grimely was holding court in the Come-On-GiveUs-One-More-Chance Diner. He was saying that his young bride wished that she coulda been there with him to experience the old days. Grimely said, “I don’t have to worry about that. When I look in a mirror, I see that my real old days are here now.”

Jimmy Suspenders says, “I never dated anyone that was ugly, but all my former girlfriends say that they did.”
