Fruitcake Toss Day [Jan 7]
Fruitcake Toss Day
And if you hadn''t read my last email, you should! It''s about the holiday classic Fruitcake.
Which reminds me, when I was still a teenager we suspected that the same fruitcake traveled through the whole of Pasadena and back to our place. I mean that''s just a gross thought. I bet nobody really wanted the fruitcake so they kept giving it to someone they didn''t really like as a gift throughout the month of December!
Well, one of those fruitcakes ended up at our house. While we''re cleaning up the clutter in the kitchen, we found it. It was as stale as petrified stone. I mean it was so stale that it was really rock hard and dry. We kept tossing it around the kitchen and lost focus on cleaning. We went outside in our back yard to play Frisbee with it.
One of my neighbors, John, was not very good with catching. I tossed it way to the other side of the field towards him. Poor John missed the catch and it hit him right in the chest. He went down immediately. I mean I thought, "That''s it, I''m going to end up in juvenile detention!" He was out for about half a second or so. We were all shocked. Then he just took a deep breath and said, "Dude, I won''t be able to breastfeed anymore!" And we all started laughing. He improved his reflexes after that – and still never lost his humor.
Them fruitcakes can be really dangerous! So don''t get attached to them, just take a deep breath and just toss that fruitcake before you hurt someone!
