I made chicken-and-alphabet soup for lunch. I went in for my very first spoonful, brought it up to my mouth, and stopped short. Written right there, clear as day, was the word “HUBBY” spelled out in little noodle-letters. What does it _mean_? ---

I think it means you can have sex with your soup and it won’t be a sin in the eyes of God. ---

You did check to make sure there wasn’t a C a little off to the left, right? It might have been trying to make you self-conscious so you’d eat it more. ---

Your husband has been imprisoned in a soup factory, but there wasn’t room for that in the spoon. You didn’t eat him, did you? ---

The interesting fact is that this occured in _chicken_ alphabet soup. Chicken, of course, indicates fear. The full meaning depends on your marital status: If single - this message indicates that you are afraid of marriage. If married - you subconciously consider your husband a wimp. Geez, this is a lot easier than interpreting dreams. ---

I’m remembering the early Carlin routine: _after I poured the milk into the bowl, I distinctly heard my cereal say, “Snap, Crackle, F\*\*k you!”_
