How to cook a piano

[Carl Meyer]

Patricia:

It depends if you want it rare, medium or well done.  Just use plenty of
garlic.  And no, none, zero, zilch olive oil anywhere.

Here in California a few years ago there was a lot of aerial spraying done
to prevent spread of a fruit fly scare.

Its said that in a small town in Italy almost every one of the inhabitants
plays the flute. So once a year they put a large tank of olive oil in the
town square, heat it quite hot and then each of the flutes were dipped into
the hot olive oil.

To this day that occasion has been called:

     THE MEDITERANIAN FLUTE FRY

Couldn't resist.  Don't hit me!  I'm old!
