The deal-breaker thread reminded me of a deal-maker incident when Mrs. dar and I were dating.

We were with a group of friends and the topic of conversation turned to a then-current news item in St. Louis. A anesthetist at a local hospital had been killing patients during surgery. Evidently the doctor had been shoving surgical gauze down their throats. We'd gotten this far in the conversation when the future Mrs. dar started laughing. "Oh. The patients died of natural gauzes."

One of the many ways I knew it was love.

Anyone else heard or told a pun made up on the spot?
