Man, talk about leaving a sidewalk pizza for her to ruminate over her husband's short comings is just too funny. I'll never think of fruit of the loom in the same way again.

Joe,
Well, I decided not to think about this. I seem to have a wheel or two that skipped over the rail at the carnival ride. Now I see all of this and can't stop thinking--well, nothing. I wasn't going to think about anything I have seen here until I've had a little time away. It seems that somehow.... No, no, no, no thinking.
The sheep shears have just been sharpened.
I think I'll go give haircuts.

Hi Joe!
Now, why is it that we can conciously tell ourself NOT to do something but we do it anyway? It's the car accident syndrome. Ya don't want to see it but ya just gotta look. Why do we torture ourselves so?

This is just tooo funny! It did make me feel better about my weird habit of looking at saggy boobs. Here in the south it is not unusual to see older ladies at the supermarket wearing tank tops. I don't know what compels me to do the boob scan, but I do. Now I know why. Thank you!

I don't know what was funnier,
the notion of apologizing to Mrs. Price for ogling her old man, or the imagery of Idaho's best spuds carried in the Fruit of the Looms. Did you ever write scripts for Monty Python? :)

The 'produce' remark took the cake.
I find it odd that when I tell myself not to look at something, my eyes are magnetically drawn to same - pretty much the way you
had to look at Mr. Price's Fruit Of The Loom encased lump.

Oh God, I think I just peed myself. You should KNOW better
than to let a mother of three read this! Once I realize I have to go, I'm halfway done! lol Ya know, I have to admit I had the same thing happen once. Only it involved a man's nightie, a thoughtless sitting position, and my father-in-law. I felt sooo dirty afterwards. Although I can now say, most assuredly, that my hubby resembles his father in many ways. UGH! Absolutely wonderful, as usual, Joe.

Some things you just can't avoid...
I'm impressed, not sure I'd be able to face up to that one...but can understand that uncontrollable urge, no matter how bad you know it'll be, you just can't help it. It's the same premise as "This tastes awful, here, try it!" It's just in our nature...don't get to down on yourself for it.

For gosh sakes, you are a master of this genre--almost as much as I am of poetry. What the heck are we doing on Blogit? Actually, most of the poetry I've done is rather dark, even whiny, not smile-inducing and admiration-producing as your stuff. I love your work. Have you got it in a volume for publication yet?

Maybe Mrs Price was going to do Coq au Vin with them spuds. As lensman says, price-less. Another unmatchable post. Hope you didn't get into any trouble with the Monster for eyeing up Mr Price's vegetable rack.

Joe, I'm rolling on the floor, holding my sides, tears of laughter streaking down my face. I've heard of looking like someone is carrying a load in his pants, but never potatoes. That just makes it seems so much more...visceral--heavy, weighty, warm and fragrant, flopping against the back of one's thighs! Oh man, I'm grossing myself out. I'll have to use that one some time... Thanks for the laugh, dear heart!

Whoosh.....that's the sound of that one going right over my head....if there's anything to it more than the humor of the old guy still stuffing his pants with something. I don't get anything out of the potatoes specifically; Lensman seemed to get something from the "Price" - that means nothing around here....anyway, I'll just have to wait and see.....
