1. There seem to be no takers.
I have never understood the anti-fruitcake stance in our society. It seems to be the last allowable prejudice. I, for one, like fruitcake!

15. Fruitcake = bad karma
My theory (ok, so it was not original with me - Imean, I can't think of EVERYTHING!)

is that there is one fruitcake that keeps getting mailed arounf to people for Christmas.
If you get this fruitcake in the mail (or in person - but who would do that?) you can

STOP THE INSANITY!!!


you don'thave to send this to someone else. Remember, what gets sent around gets sent back around
and it will come back to haunt you.

:bounce:

9. Recipe for fruitcake:
Christmas Fruitcake Recipe


Items Needed:
-------------
4 Oz. Fruit Bits
1 Railroad Tie
Wood Saw
Large Rubber Mallot
Safety Goggles

WEAR YOUR SAFETY GOGGLES. (Children: Get help from an
adult!)
Cut a one-foot section from the middle of your railroad tie.
The resulting
block of wood should be the size and shape of a loaf of
bread.

Then, take some fruit bits and pound them into the block
with your rubber
mallot. Spread the colors around, or you might wind up with
an ugly fruitcake. Don't be afraid to throw some elbow grease
into that mallot!
Good fruit bits should be much harder than the railroad tie,
so you can't
break anything.

For best result, you should pre-treat the fruit bits by
setting them on
top of your garage for a year (or by microwaving them on
HIGH for 30
minutes).

Finally, cover it tightly in plastic wrap, and give your
loved ones the
timeless and enduring gift of fruitcake!

One cup of sugar
Four large eggs
Two cups of dried fruit
One teaspoon of salt
One cup of brown sugar
Lemon juice

One bottle of whiskey

Sample the whiskey to check for quality. Take a large bowl. Check the whiskey again. To be sure its the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink. Repeat. Turn on the electric mixer, beat one cup of butter in a large fluffly bowl. Add one teaspoon of sugar and beat again. Make sure the whiskey is still okay. Cry another tup. Turn off the mixer. Beat two legggs and add to the bowl, chuck in a cup of dried fruit. Mix on the tuner. If the fired druit gets stuck in the beaterers, pry it loose with a drewscriver. Sample the whiskey to check for tonsisticity. Next, sift two cups of salt. Or something. Who cares? Check the whiskey. Now sift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table. Spoon. Of sugar or something. Whatever you can find. Grease the oven. Turn the cake tin to 350 degrees. Dont forget to beat off the turner.
