I know the spelling is atrocious). It went something like this: MAN : No more Rice Krispies, I've run out of Rice Krispies. My heart will not stop, till I hear that snap,crackle, pop. WOMAN : Here is Rice Krispies MAN (aside) : Its my mother-in-law! WOMAN : I've brought you Rice Krispies. (then something to the effect that shes has come for a long visit) [Enough to last for three months, That's about how long I'll be here.] MAN: (in a whisper) Its the thirteenth time so far this year! (cries and then when he finds that shes heard what he's said ,laughs) /* ---------- */ For completeness's sake, James Jones
