Little Johnny was approached by the lifeguard at the public swimming pool.
"You're not allowed to pee in the pool," said the lifeguard. "I'm going to report you."
"But everyone pees in the pool," insisted Little Johnny.
"That may be," said the lifeguard, "but not from the diving board!"
TwinkiesIn 1930, Hostess Twinkies snack cakes were invented by James “Jimmy”A. Dewar, plant manager at Continental Baking Company, Chicago as an inexpensive product at the time of the Great Depression. He realized the factory had baking pans for sponge cakes used only during the summer strawberry season, and that they could be made useful year-round for a new product: sponge cakes injected with a banana creme filling. They originally sold at two for a nickel. Vanilla creme was substitued during the WW II banana shortage. The name is said to have come to him based on a billboard he saw for “Twinkle Toe” shoes.(Dewar retired in 1972, and died 30 Jun 1985 at age 88.)« |
