Wrong Message to Give ...
Published Jan 01, 1900
Planning a weekend of entertaining guest, I made a list of things I needed to do, Including taking food out of the freezer and grocery shopping.
As it happened, a friend whom I have been promising to take to lunch asked If we could make it that Friday. So, hopping into the car, I taped my list to the dash-board and went and picked her up.
As she settled into the car her face dropped.
"Thanks a lot !" she cried. Then I glanced at my list and saw the first item:
"Take out the Turkey."
