Just One Roll
Published Oct 09, 2002
It was the night of the worst blizzard of the year. The streets were filled with drifting snow, and the winds were howling fiercely. A man, covered with snow and frost, enters a bakery.
He says to the baker, "I'll have one roll." The baker wraps the one roll and asks if there's anything else he can get him.
"No, that's it," says the man, "just one roll."
The baker says, "You came out on the worst night of the year to buy just one roll?"
The man says, "Yes, for just one roll."
The baker asks, "Are you married?"
The man says, "Of course. Do you think my mother would send me out on a night like this?"
