A customer asked him if she could buy half a grapefruit. Not knowing what to do, he excused himself to ask the manager. "Some nut out there wants to buy half a grapefruit..." he began, and, suddenly realizing that the customer had entered the office behind him, continued, " ... and this lovely lady would like to buy the other half." The manager was impressed with the way the clerk amicably resolved the problem and they later started chatting. "Where are you from?" asked the store manager. "Fessairton, Pennsylvania," replied the clerk, "home of ugly women and great hockey teams." "Oh, my WIFE is from Fessairton," challenged the manager. Without skipping a beat, the clerk asked, "What team was she on?" _____________________________________________________   ______________________________________________________ A man in a hurry taking his 8-year-old son to school, made a turn at a red light where it was prohibited.

 Daily tip from Thriftyfun.com Steamed Fiddleheads  By l_rambou [13 Posts, 2 Comments] Fiddleheads are a fern that are harvested as a vegetable. They are full of vitamin A and C as well as a good source of fibre and omega 3 fatty acids. They are a spring time vegetable that taste very similar to asparagus. I am steaming these but fiddleheads can also be used in soup, salad and pastas. They are usually available fresh at the local markets or they can be found in the frozen food section in most grocery stores. You can also harvest your own. They grow along the river edge in some areas.  Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes Total Time: 30 minutes Yield: 3-4 Ingredients: 1 lb fresh fiddleheads 6 - 8 cups water salt and pepper lemon butter Steps: Cut of the ends off of fiddleheads. Rinse well under cold water. Put fiddleheads in colander, and place over a pot of water. Cover and bring the water to a boil. Steam the fiddleheads for 20 minutes or until they are cooked to your liking. Add butter, salt and pepper and a squirt of lemon juice if you wish. Serve immediately.  Steamed Fiddleheads and tiny potatoes make a nice side dish beside fish on a canoe trip. Have FUN! DearWebby  ____________________________________________________
