This was the George Burns I grew up with. Very funny guy and I saw him in that John Denver movie from around 1977. I was only about 15 at the time.

Spam is SALT adulterated.

[TheNext]

Over salty food is generally so you don’t taste the spoilage. Adulterate.

During the Carter years, we prepped up with three cases of SPAM. About five years later we went on a four-week trip “boxing the Union”** and decided to use them up.

We had SPAM for breakfast, lunch and supper almost the whole time. My boys were in the 5-7 year old range and after about a week of that diet, they started to cry when they saw the wife break out yet ANOTHER can.

Neither one will touch the stuff today, so naturally I send them these articles when they pop up. They are not amused.

It’s 1 pm PST as I write this and damned if I don’t feel like whipping up a SPAM sandwich now.

When I and the wife were in Hawaii many years ago, a bellhop explained to us that SPAM was the state food of Hawaii. They couldn’t get enough. We laughed at the notion until we got to the local Walmart for some economically priced food, and found that they had whole SPAM endcaps in the store.
