The neighbors across the cul-de-sac, John and Mary Gerken, just got back from a quick and fun trip to Nashville. Last night John joined the tarmac crowd for a jolly outdoor neighborhood party while his wife cared for a grandchild. (Photo above is from a previous tarmac party). John told about their recent Opryland experience and regaled the gathering with an old knee-slapper they had just heard from that sacred stage: It was told by an overweight female entertainer whose name has already been forgotten."I see a lot of married women out there," she says. "Married women are heavier than single women. Do you know why married women weigh more?
"When a single woman comes home at night, she goes to the refrigerator, then goes to bed.
"When a married woman comes home, she goes to bed, sees what's in it, then goes to the refrigerator."
