The Bread of Wife

Not long ago Alynda was scheduled to visit a Relief Society Home, Family, and Personal Enrichment meeting. She was asked to speak on bread and how it related to spirituality. She told me what she was planning, how yeast is vital to making good bread, etc. Immediately, this thought came to mind, which I just had to share: "inasmuch as you have done it to one of the yeast of these..."

Here's a few others:
"Dough your best to get a rise out of them"
"I guess you'll be speaking to the rising generation"
"I hope you can raise them to a higher level"

I thought I was being so clever - guess not!

OK - so this afternoon Alynda and I made a quick trip to Porter's (craft store) so she could pick out some fabric for a very cool quilt she is making. Alynda found what she needed and took a bolt of fabric to the counter so the piece she needed could be cut. At the counter there were some little refrigerator magnets with sayings on them about quilters, like "Quilters really know how to cut corners." I tried to add a few of my own, and finally came up with: "Quilters - they are really on the cutting edge." Now, I thought that was pretty good and so did my bride.

But here's one that didn't fly...we took the fabric to the front of the store to pay for it. The total came to $5.01. In my mind I'm thinking "501's - Levis!" I cleverly say, "Hmmm, 501, I thought we were buying fabric, not jeans." Alynda looked at me like, "What kind of a dumb thing is that to say!" I had to explain, "you know, $5.01, 501, levis?" She got it but still didn't think it was funny (me either, actually). There were two 20-somethings at the cash register...they never got it. One of them turned to the other and said, "I didn't get that." Oh well, I guess every pun can't be brilliant!
