For the past 4-5 years, I have been baking all of the bread in our house,
except for the occasional store-bought bagels or pitas.  One day, I was
dismayed to see a grocery bag that my lord husband had left on the kitchen
counter, with a package of white bread inside it.  Wonder Bread, no less!  
(For the non-U.S. folks on the list: Wonder Bread is the quintessential
fluffy squishy sweet-bland commercial white bread.  Small children and
ducks love it.)

I was mortally offended.  I said to my lord, in tones of mingled rage and
despair, "Wonder Bread?!?!?"

He said calmly, "It's for plumbing."  I gaped at him while he explained
that he had to solder a leaky pipe in the basement.  Wonder Bread,
crumbled into a wad and shoved into a pipe, makes an excellent putty to
hold back any little trickles of moisture that would spoil the soldering.  
But once the water is turned on full force, the Wonder Bread dissolves
cleanly, like the insubstantial stuff that it is.  My bread, he assured
me, was totally unsuited for plumbing repairs.

After I stopped laughing, I decided to let him live.
