That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for December 28, 2022

In the early 1900’s, all Danish picnic baskets were required to have license numbers.

In the Edwardian Era, proper ladies used army surplus crates as picnic baskets.

Edna and Martha both want to be the one to win Richard’s heart with the salad.

/// “Mrs. Milius” and “Mrs. Schroll”

have agreed to meet here on this knoll.

One is really a man,

and they whisper their plan

to make world domination their goal.

/// Picnic in the Woods— perfect disguise

for a meeting of two German spies.

Denmark’s neutral, and thus,

they can both, with no fuss,

mix explosives with no prying eyes.

/// LR forty-nine, nine fifty-four

is the secret that might win the war.

Nothing like it’s been seen

in nineteen-seventeen,

it could blow a battalion to gore.

/// But the German spies never foresaw

that the formula had a huge flaw.

Left out in the hot sun

their food-bomb comes undone.

Too much mayonnaise mixed in the slaw.

LR4995. Danish Maui Lowie!

Her favorite salad is Lover’s Salad (Lettus Alone)

They later realized that unchilled potato salad was not a good idea.

And they’re using an actual tea chest as a picnic basket!

These two damsels, attired in pink/

Have forged an emotional link/

Which no man can break !/

Yes (make no mistake)/

Their relationship’s just what you think..///

They’ve achieved a physical bond/

Which will last to old age – and beyond./

They’ve eschewed procreation/

(That requires penetration !)/

Though of fondling they’re said to be fond…///

Don’t call either a “deviate”../

Sometimes two, of the same gender, mate./

It’s a natural state./

Not about to abate/

(Though it does seem more common of late)…

Let us break salad together on our knees.

Commemorating the first sale at a Tupperware Party

Sisters-in-law Beate and Dagmar continued their family feud at the picnic.

Beate handed Dagmar an interesting new Summer dish called “Broken Glass Cake.” It was supposed to be made with cubes of colored gelatin and whipped cream. Instead it had real broken glass.

In her turn, Dagmar gave Beare a quart of Lingonberry preserves. It actually contained Chiltepin peppers, 100,000 Scoville units.

If this was the cover of a Beatles album, people with that phone number or license number would get no rest.

“I’m so confused, are you giving and I’m getting, or am I giving and you getting?”

Astrid, Sofie, and about a pound of Mary Jane.

Never going to get the grass stains out of that skirt.

Can’t steal lunch boxes in Denmark, they are all licensed…

It’s one minute to go in the Outback Bowl.

Tomilina Brady stumbles, but passes the bowl off to Lisa Fournette

Who runs for a touchdown to win the game!

But wait. Was Tomilina’s knees down before passing the bowl?

The refs will check the instant replay.

Never mind the aunts in your pants.

Two lesbians meeting for delicious picnic in the woods…..

You spilled your salad in my fruit!
