ROTFL. (sorry) It would have been even funnier if it had been a spagetti squash. Strips hanging from pots and ladles. Draped across your doggies nose. Since you had to loose your lovely squash I am glad it went out with a bang, not an ignominious ooze across your bench. Also glad it did not save itself until the moment you inserted your knife tip. Now THERE would be a picture. Thanks for todays good belly laugh
