Meet The Parents (in 100 words)

“What’ll it be?” the butcher behind the refrigerated case asked.

“I don’t know, maybe you can help me?” I asked.

“Sure.”

“Great, you see my new girlfriend’s parents are coming to dinner. I told her I would cook, but I think I bit off more than I can chew. This is the first time I will be meeting them,” I explained.

“Want to try something standard, or something a little gamey?”

“Let’s go gamey.”

“Hold on a few minutes, I have different cuts in the back, let me go get something,” and clerk went back to a butchered dead body.
