Oh beware of the soup noodles. Back when I stayed with my Brother Ed for awhile, I had a bad habit of following him around like a lost puppy. I was nosy. One day he was fixing dinner and there I was, watching. He was draining some soup noodles, the real tiny ones. I was just to the side of him. He looked at me, and I looked at him. The next thing I knew, he dumped the whole strainer of noodles on top of my head. He started laughing at me. My sister in law came into the kitchen to see what was going on. She took one look at me with all these noodles all over me and she got so mad at my brother. ED!, she screamed. We cleaned up the mess and he started a whole new batch of noodles. Needless to say, I stayed clear of him for awhile. Even to this day, I laugh about those noodles and the story is brought up often.

Q: Why does it take longer to make a snowman than a snowwoman?

A: Becuase you have to hollow out the head.
