Dinner Party Conversation
The dinner party went well. Here is a sample of the conversation around the dining table.
“I hope everyone is enjoying the meal,” Wayne stated.
Everyone replied, “Yes, the meal is delicious.”
“The fish is scrumptious! We never cooked it like this in my day,” Christopher declared happily.
“Hey Wayne, got any ketchup for this fish?” asked Dally.
“Mr. Dally, you should use the tropical salsa. Ketchup is so common,” Stephen groaned disgustedly.
Dally roared, “Well I want my ketchup!”
“Calm down, Dally. No need to flare up,” Raph whispered.
“This reminds me of a good joke,” Two-Bit giggled.
“Let’s hear it,” Wayne said in an uncertain voice.
“A family of three tomatoes were walking downtown one day when the little baby tomato started lagging behind.” Two-Bit declared. Everyone smiled. “The big father tomato walks back to the baby tomato, stomps on her, squashing her into a red paste, and says,” Two-Bit paused for effect, "Ketchup!" shouted Two-Bit. The guests all laughed except Stephen Harper.
“Now I will tell you my joke,” Harper announced.
“I’d love to hear it, Prime Minister Harper,” Susan sarcastically said.
“A bus filled with Ottawa politicians was driving through the York Region countryside one day, on the campaign trail in 2011. The bus driver, caught up in the beautiful scenery, lost control and crashed into the ditch. A farmer living nearby heard the horrible crash and rushed out to discover the wreckage. Finding the Ottawa politicians, he buried them. That day, the Mounties came to the farm to question the man.
‘So you buried all those politicians?’ asked an Officer. ‘Were they all dead?’
The Aurora farmer answered, ‘Some said they weren't, but you know how politicians lie.’ Smart old farmer....” Stephen concluded, laughing uncontrollably. Everyone else did not laugh.

“That was so not funny,” Dally barked at Stephen.
“Still want that ketchup, Dally?” stuttered Two-Bit.
“Shut your pie hole, Two-Bit!” Dally screamed.
“Christopher, why don’t you tell us a story about your adventures?” Wayne asked trying to change the subject.
“Well, I will tell you about some natives in Hispanola that didn’t do what they were supposed to do and were rude. Dally, you need to listen closely. The natives, called the Taino, were told to bring back gold, a certain amount of it and not be rude. Whoever was rude and didn’t bring back enough gold would be punished severely by having their hands cut off,” smiled Christopher looking at Dally.
“I still want my ketchup. Please,” Dally said calmly but with some irritation in his voice.
“Well, Dally. There is no ketchup at the table. Just forget about the ketchup and stop be such a sissy,” Raph shouted.
“Well I’m leaving now,” Dally shouted
“Good to cool down, Dally,” Jason stated
“He should be okay,” Two-Bit whispered to everyone but Dally.
Just then the roar of a small engine was heard. “What’s that noise?” Jason asked.
“Sounds like the jet-ski,” Wayne said.
Everyone jumped up and ran to the railing and saw Dally heading toward the mainland. “I’m going on a ketchup run,” Dally yelled, laughing psychotically.
“Why don’t going you go for a swim with the sharks!” shouted Stephen Harper. “I am not getting his vote anyway,” Harper grumbled.
“Desert anyone?” Wayne enquired.
They all returned to the table as if nothing had happened.
