Three Wise Men:In a small Southern town there was a "Nativity Scene" that showed great skill and talent had gone into creating it. One small feature bothered me. The three wise men were wearing firemen's helmets. Totally unable to come up with a reason or explanation, I left. At a "Quik Stop" on the edge of town, I asked the lady behind the counter about the helmets. She exploded into a rage, yelling at me, "You Yankees never do read the Bible!" I assured her that I did, but simply couldn't recall anything about firemen in the Bible. She jerked her Bible from behind the counter and ruffled through some pages, and finally jabbed her finger at a passage. Sticking it in my face she said "See, it says right here, 'The three wise man came from afar." |

GETTING WEIGHED :On their first date, Joe took Rose to the carnival. When he asked her what she wanted to do first, Rose replied, "Get weighed." So Joe took her to the man with the scale who guesses people's weight. He looked at Rose and said, "One hundred and twenty pounds." Since Rose weighed in at one seventeen, she collected a prize. Next they went on the roller coaster. When the ride was finished, Joe asked Rose what she wanted to do next. "Get weighed," she said. So they went back to the man with the scale, who of course guessed Rose's weight correctly. Leaving without a prize, they went for a ride on the merry-go-round. After they got off, Joe asked Rose what she wanted to do next. "I want to get weighed!" she said again. Joe began to think this girl was quite strange, and decided to end the evening quickly. He left her at the door with a quick handshake. Rose's roommate was waiting up for her to return and asked how the evening went. "Wousy!" Rose replied. • • • • • • • •A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where train stops. I have a work station... I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible whole lot more as they get older, then it dawned on me. They were cramming for their finals. -Steven Wright |

The B.K. Lounge Grill: Garlic Potatoes |
||
|
Lets face it, most loungers will be attending a dinner, not necessarily making a dinner. We thought we could help most by giving you a recipe for a dish you could bring. Below is a good recipe for potatoes. If you bring this along with some egg nog and a bottle of bourbon, chances are you will be invited back. Seasoned Mashed Potatoes:6 to 8 quart stock pot Place the chopped potatoes in the pot and fill with water just to an inch over the potatoes. Cover and simmer until the potatoes are easily cut with a fork. Drain the water. Add the rest of the ingredients. Mash with a potato masher or hand mixer until you have the consistency you desire. I like mine a little lumpy. If the potatoes are a little stiff, add a little more milk.
Eggnog:4 eggs In a large bowl, you need to whisk the eggs and the vanilla, sugar and 1 cup of the milk until well blended. Then whisk in the rest of the milk. Or go down to the grocery and buy some eggnog. Pour into a short glass adding bourbon at your discretion. Grate a little nutmeg on top and let the games begin. |
