    Yeah... Y'er probably right.

    Why would French Fries be associated with France when they were first fried in the Meuse valley, in what was then the Spanish Netherlands (present-day Belgium)?

    What not Spanish Fries? Or Belgium Fries?? Or Flips Fries???

    And then they weren't actually deep fried but sauteed!

    Geesh.... What to do What to do...

    A coin has a fifty % chance of falling heads up in any given toss.

    But, no matter the height at which a cat falls why does it ALWAYS land on it's feet?

    AND why does a dropped piece of jellied bread ALWAYS fall jelly side down?

    What the hell happened to the percentage??? [:(!]

    The odds that a PBJ will land Jelly side down is directly related to the cost of the carpet.[:D]

    I thought it was handburger because it was formed and made by hand and lost in translation to hamburger [:D]

    Originally called Hamburg Steak.

    And what happens if you attach a jelly side up piece of toast to a cat's back, and drop the cat?

    Glad you didn't mention "Frank Furter's" cause they are the result of gas released by eating too many Ham burgers![:D]
