BETTY
THE BLONDE COOK
Betty and Bob have been back from their
honeymoon for two weeks when Bob came home from work saying he'd invited four friends from
the office home for dinner on Friday.
Betty, a blonde, is a bit apprehensive as
she asks if she must cook a meal for them all. Bob explains that there will actually be
eight coming, as each has a spouse or date. Since this is her first party, he consoles her
by saying that all she has to do is order in some Chinese food and perhaps she can bake a
cake. This sounds like a good idea and they sit down and decide what Chinese food to get.
Friday morning, Betty calls Bob's office in
tears. She explains that the only cake recipe she has will only feed six.
Her hubby says, "Why don't you just
double the recipe?"
She decides that is a good idea.
At four, hubby gets another phone call --
this time quite frantic. "I just can't do it," his wife weeps. "It's
impossible."
"Now, now, what's the matter?"
"Well, the recipe calls for two
eggs."
"So, you use FOUR eggs. Don't you have
them?"
"Yes -- then it needs 4 cups of
flour."
"Well," Bob says rather testily,
"You will have to use 8 cups of flour -- what is the problem?"
"It isn't the ingredients," Betty
cries, "It says that the cake must be baked at 350 degrees and I have checked the
oven and I can't turn the heat up to 700 degrees!"
