- $USAN SHARES THE
GOOD NEWS
30b tells Susan that the Village Market wont
take their cookies anymore. Susan tells Bob that
the National Cookie Company wants to buy out
Susan's Scrumptious Cookies.
Bob: _ Dear, I’ve got some bad news.
Susan: What’s the matter, Bob?
Bob: The Village Market won’t take any more of our cookies.
Susan: Why not? They’re selling like hotcakes!
Bob: _ I know, but a lady found a blue hair in her cookie. Now
Carol refuses to sell them.
Susan: Carol is such a dragon lady! We’re better off having
nothing to do with her.
Bob: — She’s not my cup of tea either, but she was selling lots
of cookies.
Susan: Oh well. That’s the way the cookie crumbles. Ha ha.
Get it?
Bob: Susan, this is no laughing matter!
Susan: Bob, we don’t need the Village Market anymore.
