Cooking class

One day during cooking class, the teacher, Mrs. Pritchard, was extolling her secrets for preparing perfect sauces. When she ordered the class to the stoves to prepare our assignments, she said, "Don't forget to use wooden spoons."

As people stirred my sauce, one lady contemplated the physics behind the mystery of the wooden spoon and decided it must have something to do with heat conduction. She approached Mrs. Pritchard about my theory.

"Why wooden spoons?" She asked.

"Because," she replied, "if I have to sit here listening to all you morons banging your metal spoons against metal pots, I'll go nuts!"
