Today's Laugh

Many years ago, my father visited America, from Europe, for the very first time. He wanted to go with me to the supermarket, so off we went.

Going up and down the aisles with me, he asked questions about things he saw. "Vas diss?? Powdered orange juice??" he asked.

I said, "Yes, Dad, you just add a little water, and you have orange juice."

A few minutes later, in a different aisle, he blurted out, "Und vas dis?? Powdered milk?"

I said, "Yes, Dad, you just add a little water, and you have fresh milk!"

A few minutes later, in a different aisle, he yelled out, "Und give a look here!! Baby powder!! Vat a country, vat a country!"
