Pickle Sisters Remember, Dad? You said, If you love pickles so much, why don't you marry one? Well... here are four. One-hit vaudeville wonders: The Pickle Sisters. They're not really siblings. It's all an abstract act, multi-layered showbiz sammich. These girls the latest garish garnish. How can I choose? My conundrum bitter-sweet. Left to right: Dill Delilah Sweet Susan Gherkin formerly Ginny or Kosher Katherine Fancy all that deliciousness preserved in a jar. Smart shopper, I have sampled cucumber cuties. Don't blush, Father, for I fancy myself a Gherkin-- obviously. She smiles, unafraid, takes full advantage of the full fifteen minutes. She understands irony-- a toothless smile, whistling harmonies, are acquired tastes, but do not preclude interest in a lush life.
