Potatoes & Prices

Dear world,
Today we have two very different, but both funny stories to pass on. The first, by my dear co-writer (who isn't really writing :)), and the second, by me, your writer.
The lights in the kitchen blazed brightly as the sun sank beneath the trees and twilight gathered over the land. The crickets started chirping, making a lovely duet as music from the piano streamed through open windows and doors, and the clank of pots and pans, being  moved about could be heard, as an accompaniment. In the kitchen, food was being taken off the stove and put in serving dishes as the table was being laden with food. The smell of sizzling steaks hot of the grill, warm potato salad pulled straight from the oven, creamed spinach bubbling merrily on the stove, were enough to make anyone's stomach growl. One of the cooks bustling about, upon seeing her companion serving himself to some of the delicious potato salad and fearing that he might not like it said, "Wait! Taste it before you eat it!"
and:
The sun beat down through the glass of the doors, on the back of a young girl as she sat at her computer. It was about 4 O'clock and she was just getting up to read some history, when the back of a book caught her glance. It read: $14.95 USA    $22.50 CANADA. Now a fact must be noted about this young girl, several months before, following in the footsteps of her dear sister, she had changed her clock to run on military time, thus at 5:19pm, her clock read, 17:19. So deranged was this poor girl's mind, that upon reading, "$14.95" she immediately thought, "Oh, $2.95"
