BOW ISLAND, AB
Dave Pankratz, 61, of Bow Island, Alberta was in quite the predicament at the church potluck this week as he tried to identify his own wife’s potato salad from among the more than two dozen options.
“Oh, I’m confident he’ll pick my potato salad,” said his wife Anne. “He’d never be satisfied with another woman’s potato salad. Not my Dave.”
Anne began to wonder, however, what was taking Dave so long in the buffet line.
“Just scoop a spoonful of my salad and move on,” said Anne. “Jauma, that man sometimes.”
Dave was sweating as he carefully examined each potato salad.
“Well, I know it doesn’t have eggs in it,” said Dave. “And I know my Anne likes to use a lot of mustard. But does she throw in the celery? Yikes, this is a tough decision.”
Finally, Dave crossed his fingers, said a prayer, and picked a potato salad.
“As it turns out, it was Mrs. Janzen’s,” said Dave. “I’ve never been unfaithful to my wife before. I hope she’ll forgive me.”
