Not a Teapot, Part Deux

DRC with Guest HandThe above picture is largely unrelated to the following story.

The original teapot story is also unrelated.

I wasn’t actually present when the following events unfolded. Nevertheless, I heard the story first-hand and also witnessed the aftermath. When I arrived, the ladies were still laughing uncontrollably, and some of them were on the floor.

The evening’s meal was carry-out from Pizza Hut. In addition to pizza came drinks, primarily of the darkly-colored Pepsi variety, and drink storage devices, of the white-colored variety. I partook of the pizza and of the Pepsi. So did many others, including three children whose bedtimes coincided with the clean-up of the pizza party.

A cleaning helper, who had been confused with one of the three children earlier in the evening, handed a white cup to the mother of the three children. The helper, seeing white in a white cup, thought the cup to be empty. The mother, seeing one cup and three children, thought to sing the “I’m a little teapot, short and stout” song. The cup, not being empty, dumped milk on the mother’s head when she “tipped over” and “poured out”.

This is why the ladies were still on the floor, laughing uncontrollably when I arrived.

The moral of this story is that Teapots who dump milk on their unsuspecting heads get to enjoy the benefits of glossy hair and milky smooth skin... everyone should try it once!

**check with your doctor first because the side-splitting laughter that follows can possibly affect your health, and the uncontrollable snorting and shrieking can occasionally tarnish your reputation.
