At the Wedding Reception

Did you ever reach for a piece of bread in a basket wrapped in a white cloth napkin and find that the ciabatta bread wasn't sliced all the way through so you have to tear off a piece? And then, while you're trying to tear off the piece of bread without trying to draw attention to the fact that you're mangling this hunk of bread into something unrecognizable so that nobody else will want to have any bread, did you ever notice some smoke coming from the white cloth napkin because it's laying on top of the nice little votive candle, the purpose of which is unknown?

And did you know that where there's smoke, there's fire? A big blue and yellow flame?

I stuck it in my water glass to put the fire out.

Here it is:

Now we know what happened to the Shroud of Turin.

Laughing my butt off. I've totally had the whole bread not cut through thing happen, but no... have not had the napkin landing on the candle and starting on FIRE thing happen.

THAT could only happen to YOU, Billy! And I wish I could have been there to see it. I bet you were totally cool putting out the fire, too.

Oh. Wiping the tears off my face. Too funny... shroud of turin...

Pretty soon Stace will be saying to you what John already says to me, "I just can't take you anywhere nice."

I was going to say more or less what Vicky said.

Were you in Orange County, California on Sunday afternoon? This whole thing out here is beginning to look more and more like your work.
