Expensive Shopping
Published Oct 24, 2002

Lucy went to college. However, she really worried her folks because all she ever wrote home about was boys and good times. Her mother decided to have a serious talk with Lucy when she came home for a weekend.
The mother started out by saying, "Now, dear, if you are only going to college to find a husband, it certainly will be expensive shopping."
"Yes, I know, Mom," said Lucy, "but what a supermarket."
