A bishop visits an elderly woman from his ward. As he sits
on the couch he notices a small bowl of peanuts on the coffee table.
"Mind if I have a few?" he asks. "No, not at all," the woman replies
and pushes the bowl closer.

They chat for an hour and as the bishop stands to leave, he
realizes instead of eating just a few peanuts, he has emptied the
bowl.

"I'm terribly sorry for eating all the peanuts, I just meant to have a
few."

"That's all right," the woman replied. "Ever since I lost my teeth,
all I can do is suck off the chocolate."
