Reminds me of the story my father in law used to tell of his school days during the Great Depression...His Mom packed him turnip sandwiches in a paper sack for his school lunch, and after a while he just couldn't stomach them any longer. One day he switched sacks around and grabbed the heaviest one he could find, hoping for a real and large meal instead of turnips on white bread. He went off behind the schoolhouse with the sack, opened it with great anticipation, only to find a hammer and a big hickory nut.
Can you post that sort of stuff here.....there wasn't anything about Velveeta, Bacon, Spam, or that disgusting Lutefish stuff? What is a Lutefish anyhow? It even sounds nasty?
You know, squirrels have been known to steal too....I'm guessing that surprises some, but it is true.
The thievery is not as bad as the little "snarky smile" they give you when caught. Sure does make your stomach yearn for squirrel stew!
