Searcher:Two pioneer sisters were studying with an old lady who gave them a cup of tea on each visit, accompanied by a bowl of walnuts, which they always ate. After several weeks of studying, the old lady brought out the tea and walnuts again - but this time, they were chocolate-covered walnuts. The sisters were delighted at this change, until the old lady apologised. She said that she'd been very busy that morning, and hadn't had the time to suck the chocolate off the nuts before they arrived!
I've never heard that one before. A story like that could only come from the macabre Edgar Alan Poe like mind of a Brit. LOL
