Well,
there was a woman there who used to go to school with my sister. Remember her?
She was the vegetarian who brought her own tofu wieners, and one of them fell
onto the flames and made that terrible smell that we were all dying with
laughter about. She thought you were a real cutup.
* cutup: a very humorous person
=
crack-up; crack her up; hilarious

My brother is a real cutup, but sometimes it gets him into trouble.
Anyway,
she had given me the name of her chiropractor
who had fixed her neck that she had been having problems with because she was
into doing some kind of daredevil
skiing or some such thing. Remember him? They guy with the office in that old
house on Carson Avenue?
* daredevil: intentionally dangerous
ex>
It’s always interesting to meet seniors who are into daredevil sports.

A “daredevil” is a person who enjoys doing things that are dangerous.
Anyway,
his receptionist, who had such interesting pearls
of wisdom to share from having taught scuba diving in Belize, came into the
shop today, the picture of health,
and guess where she’s been?

through experience; wise remarks

* picture of health: being very healthy

Our doctor told us that our baby is the picture of healthy.
What?
Have you been listening to a word I’ve said? You are in the doghouse, mister. That’s the last time I waste my time
telling you about my day!

temporary banishment
