I have a theory...

[olger]

Here's the deal. My theory is that there is only one fruitcake in the world, and it keeps getting passed around the world constantly. Have you ever seen TWO fruitcakes at the same time??...mmmm??

Exactly!

[Stan]

Have you spent much time outside of Ohio?

Just sayin'

[olger]

I have to stay home and mow the grass in the fence row... It's a boring life, yeah, but you get used to it..

Exactly!

I had a fruitcake once. I gave it away. It was sort of a redish brown color with nuts and red maraschino cherry halves on it. Have you seen it lately?

Optical illusion. That's what happens when the fruitcake is revealed publically.

Whoever invented the fruit cake, must have been a little fruity.

Why else would they put all that fruit in there?

SO IT is an optical illusion huh

Only if the fruitcake is revealed publicly dgrimm.

On Christmass morning, the fruitcake rises out of the earth amidst the fog, striking terror & awe in the hearts of common people.

Rumor has it that there was fruitcake inside that big Trojan horse that all those men were hiding in. The belief is, that just before the men came out of the horse, they handed out the fruitcake first, to one of the townspeople. And this is what helped them bring down the city.

I don't know all the details.

HEY ALL

I AM GOING TO MAKE A BOLD STATEMENT HERE

I like Fruit cake

dgrimm60

Ah ha, so it was you!!

[olger]

It was fruitcake that caused the fall of Rome anyway. Nero tripped over said morsel and knocked a lantern into the wood pile.

Bubonic Plague was the result of millions of people taking a nibble of the solitary fruitcake and spreading germs around.

The Johnstown Flood was caused by a fruitcake falling off the shelf and striking a faucet in Altoona.

Truly you should have known...

IT is almost like the fruitcake that stole Christmas

or something like that

Why do people continue to give fruitcake? I just don't get it.

FRUITCAKE

by F.R. Duplantier

A fruitcake came one day

And I sent it on its way.

The next day, then,

It was back again,

But here it cannot stay.

I sent it to one brother,

Who sent it to another.

Eventually

It came back to me,

In a package from my mother.

I sent it to a friend –

At least, he was ’til then.

He sent it back

With a caustic crack

And we never spoke again.

I sent it to my boss

And signed it “Santa Claus.”

My name he guessed

And readdressed

That spice-baked albatross.

I sent it to a client,

Who proved to be defiant:

It seems the space

In his office place

Is fruitcake noncompliant.

I picked someone at random

In hopes that he could stand ‘em.

It was returned:

Somehow he’d learned

I was the Fruitcake Phantom.

If a fruitcake comes today,

I think I’ll let it stay.

It’s crystal clear

Its place is here –

And I must move away.
