Scrabble Play . . . Gelato

Here is another one from my ‘working folder’.

To pass the time here in The Last Frontier many people play board games or cards to make the day or night go by a little quicker. Winter time this is especially true as the many hours of darkness and the extreme cold can seem like time stands still or crawls along at a snails pace.

Here is a little ditty from one of our recent games . . .

Wife: There! I just added four letters to your word and covered the triple-word score. Thirty-three points!

Ice: Ummm, dear . . . do you know what that word means?

Wife: Don't worry, it's a word . . . I looked it up in the Scrabble dictionary.

Ice: I wasn't questioning whether it's a word. I was just curious if you knew its meaning.

Wife: It's one of those Italian ice creams, or something . . . right?

Ice: No, that would be GELATO. FELLATIO is more like a Popsicle.

Life from a ‘Northern Exposure’ . . . we always find a little laughter at the simplest things.
