[snip grating raw horseradish experience]

Once I was making chipotles en escabeche, which
involved simmering the chiles in cider vinegar, brown
sugar and herbs. My daughter entered the kitchen,
winced, and staggered back: "What did you DO?"
she demanded.

You DA MAN! That so appeals to my sense of humor.

Or lack thereof.

Hahaha!! I didn't even tell it. I heard a different version.

For whatever reason, that punch line sticks in my mind while
the joke is mostly hazy.

Alright, but I'm warning you, after this y'all will be begging for more
"that's amore" puns. The joke is that bad. --Lia


An otherwise good looking man lost an eye in the war. Unable to afford
a good glass prosthetic eye, he settles for a wooden one. He's feeling
pretty bad about everything, the injury, the loss of his good looks,
even his discharge. His friends convince him to go a USO dance.


"Cheer up. Dance. Surely there's someone out there less fortunate than
you. Do a good deed, and you'll feel better," they tell him.


He goes, but he's still feeling pretty down. The band is good. All
around him men and women are dancing and having a great time, but he's
sure that if he asks a woman to dance, she'll make fun of him. He
slouches around the dance hall for a while. Then he sees her. Alone at
a table is woman with a cleft palate. She wouldn't be bad looking if
not for that and the fact that she's alone, looking miserable, has her
hair tied back in an unattractive style and a frumpy look about her.
The man thinks to himself "perfect, my friends were right. I'll ask her
to dance."


He approaches the table and says "Madame, would you like to dance?"


Her face brightens immediately as she says (and here it helps if the
teller has a slight Southern accent such that the ends of words aren't
enunciated too clearly) "oh, wouldn't I, wouldn't I!"


To which the man retorts "Hare lip! Hare lip!"

Still cracks me up. I'm sticking with Big nose! Big nose!

Good grief folks...

It's *NOT* "wooden eye"
It's *NOT "wouldn't I"

It's "Would I ! Would I !"

I told that wooden eye joke to a harelip...I was barely a newly wed and
meeting more of my wife's friends...this time my wife's best friend's
brother and his wife. She was also of a mixed marriage this time he was
black and she was white. She seemed to be shy and reluctant to talk to
me...So I told that joke to kinda break the ice. She was a harelip...took
a long time before they'd even talk to me.

You're correct.. That's how I heard it... I also heard it as:
Number 47!!

I'll take your word for it!

My perfect sinus clearer is grating horseradish root. Last Easter
Vigile I cleared out the kitchen and had Spawn yelling, "What are
you tryin' t' do? Gas me outta the house?!"

It was delicious once I got over the shock.

Once I was making chipotles en escabeche, which involved simmering the
chiles in cider vinegar, brown sugar and herbs. My daughter entered
the kitchen, winced, and staggered back: "What did you DO?" she
demanded.

It was delicious on grilled pork.

Several years ago the SO decided to try making his own mole sauce. The
recipe he chose called for roasting the dried chiles in a cast iron
skillet. He damn near drove us out of the house.
