Ted: “So why do they serve ham on Easter?”

(Nobody acknowledges or responds to the question)

Ted: “Stew! … Stew!…So why do they serve ham on Easter?”

Stew: “What?”

Ted: “Why do they serve ham on Easter?”

Stew: “I don’t know.”

Ted: “Because, uh, in the old days it was the only thing leftover to eat from fall.”

Calvin: “…I think people usually have lamb.”
