Baked Alaska was a dish made of Alaska salmon!
Anyone else have similar tale to tell?


When my older son was three years of age, my then wife asked him what he wanted for breakfast. He replied, "Pygmies." We had to do quite a bit of head scratching before we realised that he had heard me responding to the same question a day earlier by saying, instead of sausage, "pig meat." That was long ago, long before I saw the movie, "Babe." Eat a pig now? Oh, the horror!!!

I just read your profile, Abogogo, and I now realise that YOU'RE the joker who's been causing all those earthquakes and volcanoes around the Pacific Rim. Cut that out!!!

Just a wandering thought......perhaps cheapskate stems from skating around a financial obligation, thus being considered cheap.
