1729 Green Eggs

Sunday, March 16, 2008

Today we celebrated Dr. Seuss's birthday (which happens to fall conveniently close to St. Patrick's Day). We had the ceremonial reading of "Green Eggs and Ham", and ate green eggs (scrambled, with food coloring) and ham, and lots of other yummy things, and drank champagne.

This is the single most beloved and best attended of the local Mensa activities. It's been an annual event for almost 25 years, and the only years I've missed it were the year Jay died, and the year following.

In honor of the day, I wore a green sari. In honor of the past week, there were many prostitute jokes.

"How do you slow down a fast prostitute?"
"Put a governor on her."
And so on.

Brilliant! I might have to steal that one from you.

Which - wearing a sari, or slowing down a prostitute?
