“Where does Styrofoam come from,” Bea asked her husband.
“Eh, I don’t know for sure but I think it’s a petroleum product, you know, like plastic.”
“So, there’s no Styrofoam Cup Tree?”
“Nope. Definitely not. Why do you ask?”
“Well, the other day I was walking along and saw several Styrofoam cups dangling from a tree. Saw it again a week later with more cups on it. Seemed to be growing with each week.”
“Sounds like someone’s been playing pranks.”
“No Styrofoam plants that grow then?”
“Not a chance.”
“Okay,” Bea said. “Wait, did you say plastic is a petroleum product?”
“It is.”
“Next you’ll tell me spaghetti doesn’t grow on trees.”
“I wouldn’t do that. Spaghetti grows on the same trees as money. Different branches.”
“Oh,” said Bea.

Priceless.😊 Thanks for this morning's chuckle, David.
