The Eye

I prepared a pasta dish for a dinner party I was giving. In my haste, however, I forgot to refrigerate the spaghetti sauce, and it sat on the counter all day. I was worried about spoilage, but it was too late to cook up another batch.

I called the local Poison Control Center and voiced my concern. They advised me to boil the sauce again.

That night, the phone rang during dinner, and one of my guests volunteered to answer it.

I nearly fainted as my guest called out, “It’s the Poison Control Center. They want to know how the spaghetti sauce turned out.”
