the lowly fruitcake.the butt of holiday jokes.
the gift you send as a practical joke to a friend. or an enemy.
and the next year the recipient of the fruitcake sends it back. and mysteriously, it doesn't look any worse for wear. maybe they are made of melamine.
what's the history behind this perennial bane of christmas gift recipients everywhere?
must research this. especially since the lady at the hostess bakery store (no, her name is not dolly madison) told me that she has sold 800 of these colorful little fruity bricks so far this holiday season.
when you give someone a fruitcake and they look you squarely in the eye and say, "you shouldn't have", believe them. they mean it.
and they will get even.....................................................

Evie, I loved the fruitcake and poor poor Oprah subjects. From sexual abuse to obesity-- what can be next for the bankroll.
