Yeti, he may be mean and even a savage. But he always looks “FABULOUS”!

You know I am old when I think I recall that the late great Johnny Carson had a recurring schtick about how there was just one fruitcake in the world and it just keeps on being ‘re-gifted’!

My imagination says yes but my stomach says, "H@$$ NO!!!"

This is actually big news, in that it disproves Johnny Carson’s claim that there is only ONE fruitcake in the world that everyone passes around.
Now we know there were originally 2.
