Nic's was recommended by an Arizona Paths reader who indicated that he adored this restaurant. And being owned by the same family that owns The Haunted Hamburger in Jerome, I expected something great. Our experience, however, was somewhat different. Not to say that we didn't enjoy ourselves, or that I wouldn't recommend other people try it, but I don't think it's all that it's cracked up to be.

This past weekend was our first real vacation in just over two years. "Real vacation" is defined as anything that is more than one day, and is planned (so the time I got stuck in the snow and had to stay overnight as an emergency doesn't count). We left home Friday morning about as early as we possibly could. And when you consider that you often forget things at the last minute, that ended up being about 10:00am. We made several stops in the valley before we finally hit the highway and headed north.

A farmer walked into an attorney's office wanting to file for a divorce.

The attorney asked, "May I help you?"
The farmer said, "Yeah, I want to get one of those 'dayvorces.'"
The attorney said, "Well do you have any grounds?"
The farmer said, "Yeah, I got about 140 acres."
The attorney said, "No, you don't understand, do you have a case?"
The farmer said, "No, I don't have a Case, but I have a John Deere."
The attorney said, "No you don't understand, I mean do you have a grudge?"
The farmer said, "Yeah I got a grudge, that's where I park my John Deere."
The attorney said, "No sir, I mean do you have a suit?"
The farmer said, "Yes sir, I got a suit. I wear it to church on Sundays."
The exasperated attorney said, "Well sir, does your wife beat you up or anything?"
The farmer said, "No sir, we both get up about 4:30."
Finally, the attorney says, "Okay, let me put it this way. WHY DO YOU WANT A DIVORCE?"
And the farmer says, "Well, I can never have a meaningful conversation with her."
