One Potato
The sun is setting.
UnderWoman rushes Captain Quirk out of her apartment, but not before giving him a sippy cup filled with rosé.
She has important work to do:
It is Merrie Do-It’s birthday!
Soon Merrie will be heading out to dinner with EdLectric Seltzer.
UnderWoman calls the D.C. restaurant that they will be eating at to arrange and explain:
It has long been the Do-It Family tradition to pop a very good bottle of champagne for such occasions.
One year, when Merrie was in a “nutrition” phase, she protested:
Did Archer and Wendy know that there were as many calories in a glass of champagne as in a baked potato?
Wendy and Archer applaud in unison, and exclaim: “You take the potato, we’ll take the champagne.”
UnderWoman gets Corduroy Restaurant on the phone: The moment that Merrie and EdLectric sit down, can they bring a baked potato with a candle in it, followed by champagne?
Merrie “gets it” immediately…aughs until she cries.
According to EdLectric, who claims not to have known the story before, now it is the talk of the town.
Back home, UnderWoman has a baked potato and a champagne toast of her own….
