Dinner Table Conversations
What classes a conversation as a 'dinner table conversation' or as is more often heard, 'not a dinner table conversation'?
Here's a few precious samples...
"Its one of those things like being pregnant..."
"Well, I think there can be degrees of pregnancy..."
"No, you are either pregnant, or you are not. It is either a shark or it is not."
"If I was pregnant, and it was a shark, I would be most upset."
"What does ketchup mean?"
"What does mayonaise mean?"
"It is the French for 'jar of fat'."
"What does relish mean?"
"It is called relish because you relish it."
"I can't say that I have ever felt that emotion towards relish."
Some things sound funny with an English Accent...
"taa-cos", "maa-zda proh-teh-jay", "paa-sta"
Some things sound funny with an American Accent...
"I'll have the Caesar salad with Sal-mon. Sal-mon-Ceasar Salad...."
"Sal-mon-ella Salad...???"
"We are out of Sal-mon-ella salad, would you like chicken instead?"
WARNING: It has been scientifically tested and proven that the aforementioned 'dinner table conversations' can cause acute gastronomic discomforts up to and including pukin' sick!
Feel better A :(

Sorry Turi, didn't mean to steal your subject matter...I guess I deleted these as you were posting in protest. I was deleting in protest as well.
so when are you going to put the NY pics up???
How about this one: My Dad sits down at the table for dinner, & my Mom comes in & says (too him) "Did you hear about that rape & murder that happened in Cassadaga?"... I told her "Great dinner table conversation mom." (With obvious sarcasm)
