Ha ha! I think I had that fruitcake once...we re-gifted it after it spend a year in the freezer.
This is cute Randy. You are up to mischief, and doing a swell job of it too!
Prison is probably cheaper than Jenny Craig!

ha ha,
the very same fruitcake sat upon our family fridge.
It came to us from my grandmother, who sent it
our way when I was four, along with a cowboy suit,
with fake spurs, a hat, and a cap gun.
When the fridge died, the floor had yellowed,
except for where the fridge stood, so since
the fruit cake that sat on top of the fridge pretty
much never changed from when we first had gotten
it, The cake, was then given to me by my mother,
in her will.
I am the keeper of the said, fruit cake now.
So imagine to my surprise, when I traveled
to South Africa, that the very same fruitcake,
old as time itself, and worth less much less than its
twenty to thirty pounds, or say 9 say 13 kilograms in weight although disguised as a paper wieght
had been sold to me.

And now I have two. I call them century one, and two..
They resemble time a few thousand years before.
It was after Jesus made enough fish and bread
for everybody, and they were too full for desert, to eat
any fruit cake. But the truth is they both are,
completely edible still.

Peace!

Yep, certainly made me laugh with this one.
I knew there was a reason why I never liked fruitcake.
Maybe that/'/s why I/'/ve stayed alive so long.
Going to make sure I manage to avoid it in the future, especially after reading this!!
