Chocolate fountain story:

Three years ago, my son married a spoiled brat EyeTalian Princess.
Their wedding reception was held at a frou-frou expensive hall north
of Toronto. In addition to the usual food you would expect at this
type of wedding reception, there was a dessert buffet at midnight,
featuring the chocolate fountain. Everyone on our side of the family
thought this was totally weird.

Fast forward one year. You guessed it: son and EyeTalian Princess
split up. *Very* messy.

And now they are selling those chocolate fountains everywhere,
including Canadian Tire, of all places.. Every time we see one, my
husband and I say we should buy the son one for Christmas, and we
crack up about it.
