rs a good thing that Phil out
at the Sissbee SnaekerY doesn't
have to give out cigars every
time a brain storm Of his turns
into q brain child. And ! am
pleased TO report a new addition
70 the Sissbee Family.
Well, ! am right proud of fhe
latest one, because It was inspir-
ed bv me. land then he had TO
90 and name II 1.-THE monster"
Well anyhow, II goes like This. -.
T'ofher night with q pain IN
my sweet tooth and q yen for
uooey eoneoetion like only Phil
or Joe can make, I stopped by
tl,e Snaekery. Now all ] asked
for was q banana split, but with
Phil thinking il up and Joe doing
fhe dirty work. .the first mons
ter was born.
First in . long platter.like dish
a huge banana, split length
wise. Here any resemblance to
an orsinary banana split stopped
cold. Atop this went three Of fhe
Israest scoops Of ice cream !
have ever seen. Two OF Seal
tests almond and one Of golden
french vanilla. Then Joe simply
went crazy with the hot fudge
which, by the way, has a deli
eieus bifter.sweet ehoeolatY fla
vor. Here he turned II over to
Phil and made another for Bob.
This time he also added pine
an-!e and raspberry syrup.
Well, you can't trust Phil with
whipped ersam gun in his
Fnds. He likes TO play, and
simply gets lost in his work. He
6'-in't stop It'll ne couldn't see
oyer fire cream. Then he reached
~ and poured on some toasted
r,cans, and added the ridiculous
n the sublime, a tiny little
s.;velcd up cherry, which he
kew wou;Gn'f eat anyhow, and
staggered over with II. Then he
scod t:ese !ccr:HJ and simply
DARING me TO est II.
'gell, I'm right proud Of the
Job did, but ! couldn't finish
II. As for ihe other monster
T1sda in teehnieolor, Bob couldn't
finish his either. us q horrible
waste, but for a real glvtton.
