fast richard said...: I have a couple of pictures of Mennonite ancestors. They don't look capable of smiling at these jokes. I'm not sure how that would affect the bacon or the leather.; 11:55 AM, October 06, 2013

Didn't know food could have religion.
Being a life long Mennonite, yes I laugh at jokes like this.

Nah.You're thinking of Febrezium (Fb). Mennonite is an explosive being developed on the Greek island of Lesbos.; 3:10 PM, October 06, 2013

Mainly for telling it before I could. :-p; 10:37 PM, October 06, 2013
Greg Tag said...: Jim

I cannot let my wife see the Mennonite nympho one. She would be convinced that you and I are long-separated brothers.

Now all I have to do is work "mennonite " into our daily conversation to set it up.

Might be worth a trip to Galvez to see the show in person-.

Remember - the pun is the absolute worst form of wordplay, and also the best.

Sorry for the digression, Tam.
