Not to change the subject, but it's funny you wrote that about Calif. being the "Land of the fruits and nuts"! I was watching a movie that came out about "The Three Stooges" a few weeks ago.
There was a scene in it where the Stooges and their wives/girlfriends were riding out to Calif. from the East Coast (NY, I believe?). Anyway, it was said in the movie that they were heading out with the hopes of getting into the movies.
They were riding in a big car together, looking at the sights, and people. One of them cracked a joke. It went something like: "There they were, in the "land of fruits and nuts" (not exact quote). And this was in what, the 20s and 30s? It was a long time ago anyway.
But I sat there watching that, and it cracked me up! I didn't know that they referred to it that way back then!
LOL! I never remember the 3 stooges referring to CA that way...... hmmmmmm. :)
