Conversation At Denny's

Mrs. Myrtle Standich met with Mrs. Lisa Ferden, Mr. and Mrs. George Granger, and Mr. Christopher Tyler at the local Denny's. Grand Slams were ordered by all but Mrs. Lisa Ferden who ordered Moons Over My Hammy. Mrs. Lisa Ferden claimed she was not supersticious and the only reason she orders Moons Over My Hammy every time she visits the local Denny's is that she really likes ham. It reminds her of her father, the late Mr. Ronald Brady, and his swine farm. Mr. Ronald Brady had upwards of fifteen swine at one time.

The topic of climate change and climate control was brought up by Mrs. George Granger. Mrs. Myrtle Standich quickly chimed in that it seemed more like temperature change and temperature control. Mr. George Granger countered that actually climate and temperature were pretty much the same thing, which would put both Mrs. George Granger and Mrs. Myrtle Standich in the right. But, Mrs. Lisa Ferden, while chewing on an obnoxious piece of ham, corrected the entire table, saying, "No, I think temperature is a measure of the warmth or coldness of an object or substance with reference to some standard value. While climate, I think, is the composite or generally prevailing weather conditions of a region, as temperature, air pressure, humidity, precipitation, sunshine, cloudiness, and winds, throughout the year, averaged over a series of years." This would make only one person right. Mrs. Myrtle Standich thought it was she. Mrs. George Granger felt it was she. And Mr. Christopher Tyler felt that climate control was a very important issue that should be looked into real soon.

All at the table wondered whether Mrs. Lisa Ferden would ever take a risk and try say a Meat Lover's Scramble. All but, Mrs. Lisa Ferden.
