Perhaps you didn't notice, but the Pittsburgh Steelers won Super Bowl XL this weekend.

The topic for today is the word bowl.

Jim: Supper Bowl XXX

“I’d like a bowl of chili, please,” I told the waitress.

“Sorry, Mac. That guy over there got the last bowl.”

I looked over at the man she referred to. He was paying his check, but the chili bowl was still full. “Are you going to eat that?” I asked.

“No,” the man replied. “Help yourself.”

I gratefully accepted the full bowl and started to eat. But about halfway down I scooped up a dead mouse.

Nauseated, I vomited the chili back into the bowl.

Looking over my shoulder, the man said, “That’s about as far as I got, too.”
