He was only trying to help.

On Coast Guard cutters, low-ranking crew members take turns in the
galley helping the cooks. One young seaman aboard was always dropping dishes and spilling food.

One day, alone in the galley, he noticed an unfrosted yellow sheet cake
cooling on a counter. Determined to rectify past errors, the seaman
made chocolate icing and decorated the cake with it. The seaman stood
proudly by the dessert as the head cook returned to the galley.

Frantically, the cook began to look around. "Where did my CORNBREAD
go?" he shouted.

1. .

:rofl: for the hilarity

:puke: for the frosted cornbread

[texas1928]

10. Yeah, my best friend is in the Coast gaurd and is on a cutter right now.

I sent him the joke and asked if it was him. He has not answered me.

[MrScorpio]

2. That actually sounds kind of tasty right about now

I hope that it was Jiffy mix

[MrCoffee]

3. you would frost a Jiffy mix cornbread?

what the...i mean...you...you


words fail me.

[MrScorpio]

4. I would

Because I'm crazy like that

[texas1928]

7. Actually I like a nice non sweet cornbread, with either some...

Syrup or Chocolate sauce on it.

[DS1]

5. cornbread = teh nasty

[texas1928]

9. Yeah, you are a Yankee.

Cornbread is the BOMB

[DarkTirade]

12. Hey now, cornbread is universal.

I was born in VT and grew up in upstate NY and I loved it as a kid.

Hmm... I don't think I remember seeing it on the menu for Thanksgiving... maybe I'll pick up a few things of Jiffy mix when I'm at the store today.

6. I don't get it. But pass a piece of that chocolate-covered ...

Corn bread.

That and a hot cup of coffee sounds pretty good right now.

:hi:

[texas1928]

8. He iced a pan of cornbread.

never mind having to explain it kills a joke.


SIGH


:P

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

11. I got it right away

pretty funny.

But on second thought, it occurred to me that the cornbread might be improved by chocolate icing. I'd try it.
