Had some really nice neighbors when I was growin' up. Our fam'lies usta visit back & forth all the time. One day my neighbor was tellin' my mom about their vacation. They said that one of the places that they ate out was really expensive. She said that all she ordered was a meat and 2 veg'tables, and it cost $10. My mom said, "Did you order the food a la carte? She replied, "No, they didn't brang it on no cart."
Then there was the other neighbor lady who went on a GreyLine Bus Tour to Arkansas and came back with a husband. She was 85 years old. She really liked to dress up when she went to church. At that time, pointed-toe shoes were the style, but she couldn't wear them because her middle toes kinda stuck out--You know how old people's toes do--Anyhow, rather than be outa style, she went to her doctor cut off one toe on each foot. After that, her feet went right into those pointy shoes!
Back to the lady across the street. She liked to tell stories about when she was younger. She said that when she & her husband were first married, she made him some biscuits for breakfast. Her husband tried one, and politely told her that he was not really hungry. She bit into one, and decided that they were not worth keeping, so she threw them out to the dog. The dog tried to eat one and choked to death.
