A young woman was preparing a ham dinner. After she cut
off the end of the ham, she placed it in a pan for baking. Her
friend asked her,"Why did you cut off the end of the ham"?
And she replied ,"I really don't know but my mother always
did, so I thought you were supposed to."
Later when talking to her mother she asked her why she cut
off the end of the ham before baking it, and her mother
replied,"I really don't know, but that's the way my mom
always did it."
A few weeks later while visiting her grandmother, the young
woman asked, "Grandma, why is it that you cut off the end
of a ham before you bake it?"
Her grandmother replied ,"Well dear, otherwise it would never
fit in my baking pan."
