::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: FOOD FUNNY :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
This food funny absolutely, without question, scored the highest ever
on the World Wide Recipes Groan-O-Meter. Thanks to "DKLars" for
sending it in.
The story concerns a butcher who went into a pet shop. It seems he
fell in love with one the seagulls in the shop. Alas, he had no money
to spend, but the shop owner agreed to give him the bird in exchange
for some of his delicious German sausage. The deal was made. It
seems he took a tern for the wurst!
