They’re not joking either. It’s been hushed, but people who have tried getting around this (ordering two in the husband’s name and then two more in the wife’s and other tricks) have mysteriously disappeared, while Amish Sausage seems to be cropping up everywhere. (Hence the new Amish musical, _Sweeney Stoltzfussenhammer, the Demon Heatermaker of Blue Balls_.)

This is a perfect example of what I meant in another (ignored) thread of mine about making a show out of The Straight Dope!

You guys crack me up!
