On the Ranch
The thought of work made Billy-Joe blanch. However, rather than
starve, he took a job on a Dude ranch.
He had to pick almonds from the branch, which he placed in a pot to
blanch.
He also picked fruits to blanch. After a few months, when the hot sun
made his clothes blanch, and his hair blanch, he quit and married - you
guessed it, Blanche!
