Luncheon Gifts

The post-menopause luncheon's unintentional comedy act.

Tartine

"What do you think I can get for it on the blackboard market?"

'I'll have the bacon and hay wrap.'

'Guess what I've got for lunch today...a piece of my wife's delicious rum cake.'

"No thanks, I brought my lunch."

'The cutbacks begin to affect wizards.'

"Do we always have to work through lunch?"

"Your expense account ain't what it used to be. There's not enough money on your card to cover the $5.35."

"Expense account or regular?"

'I thought chemistry experiments were after lunch.'

'Since Fleming already beat you to it with penicillin, I take it we can dispose of your week-old sandwich?'

'Any chance of a ploughman's?'

'As soon as your mother is through laundering the money we'll go out to eat.'

'Our guest tonight certainly needs no introduction.'

'You made me jump.'

"Since you're into burnt offerings you should come over some Sunday for one of her special dinners."

'Are you sure you don't have any Indian blood?.'

'I don't like her line of gossip - it's never about anyone I know.'

'I don't eat red meat. That's ok, this is gone green.'

"I brought my lunch."

"This means that dad is climbing Everest with my cheese and pickle sandwich."

"No, you didn't hear the soft rustle of a sandwich wrapper!"

'What we were about to receive has gone the way of all flesh.'

'For once can't we all just sit down and eat as a family?'

'I like the look of the sherry trifle.'

"Here we see the size of your portion, choice of toppings and cost per slice. If we're in agreement, I'll place the order."

'Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday you like beans, now you don't like beans.'

Urban lunch

"Glad you have time for lunch today, honey."

"Hi Mike, how's the Leprosy research going?"

A lot of attention gets paid to the Earl of Sandwich, and rightfully so, but let's not forget to show some respect for that neglected Lord of Lunch, the Viscount of Potato Salad.

"Don't think you can just put the on the costume and replace Jeff."
