    List of Ingredients




    One day, when a seamstress was sewing while sitting close to
    a river, her thimble fell into the river. When she cried
    out, the Lord appeared and asked, "My dear child, why are
    you crying?"

    The seamstress replied that her thimble had fallen into the
    water and that she needed it to help her husband in making
    a living for their family.
    The Lord dipped His hand into the water and pulled up a
    golden thimble set with pearls.
    "Is this your thimble?" the Lord asked.

    The seamstress replied, "No."

    The Lord again dipped into the river. He held out a silver
    thimble ringed with sapphires. "Is this your thimble?" the
    Lord asked.
    Again, the seamstress replied, "No."

    The Lord reached down again and came up with a leather
    thimble. "Is this your thimble?" the Lord asked.
    The seamstress replied, "Yes."
    The Lord was pleased with the woman's honesty and gave her
    all three thimbles to keep, and the seamstress went home
    happy.

    Some years later, the seamstress was walking with her
    husband along the riverbank, and her husband fell into the
    river and disappeared under the water.
    When she cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked her,
    "Why are you crying?" "Oh Lord, my husband has fallen into
    the river!"

    The Lord went down into the water and came up with Mel
    Gibson.
    "Is this your husband?" the Lord asked. "Yes," cried the
    seamstress.

    The Lord was furious. "You lied! That is an untruth!"
    The seamstress replied, "Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It is a
    misunderstanding. You see, if I had said 'no' to Mel
    Gibson, you would have come up with Tom Cruise. Then if I
    said 'no' to him, you would have come up with my husband.
    Had I then said 'yes,' you would have given me all three.
    Lord, I'm not in the best of health and would not be able
    to take care of all three husbands, so THAT'S why I said
    'yes' to Mel Gibson."
    The moral of this story is: Whenever a woman lies, it's for
    a good and honourable reason, and in the best interest of
    others.

    That's our story, and we're sticking to it.
