“Wow, great!” says the husband, propping himself up in bed as his wife scampers away to the kitchen.

A little time and lots of clanging and cooking later, the wife returns with a beautiful plate of Eggs Benedict; fresh and steaming hot on a plate.

“This is wonderful, darling!” the husband says. “But what’s with the fancy plate, did you get it especially for today?”

“Of course I did,” beams the wife. “It’s Christmas! There’s no plate like chrome for the Hollandaise!”
