Sworn to Secrecy


Recently a Rhodie paid a visit to his home place in Wisconsin.  

Rumor has it that he returned with a antique cooler that he inherited.

There is further disinformation that the cooler contained one of his
favorite delicacies.

Only recently by back channel communications I learned what might have come
to South Carolina.

The Associated Press described this Wisconsin food delicacy:


AP
ELDERON, Wis. (May 13) - Around here, it may be tough to pass up anything
deep-fried. 

Wisconsinites have deep-fried cheese curds, candy bars and Twinkies. They
now have deep-fried livestock testicles, too. 

More than 300 people paid $5 for all-you-can-eat goat, lamb and bull
testicles Saturday at the ninth annual Testicle Festival at Mama's Place Bar
and Grill in Elderon in central Wisconsin. 

"Once you get over the mental (aspect) of what you're eating, it's just like
eating any other food, and it tastes good," Buster Hoffman said. 

Festival founder Nancy Fenske said the festival grew out of her late husband
Roger's birthday party 12 years ago. They decided to have "a nut fry" at
Mama's Place after bringing back lamb fries from a trip to Montana. 

The event grew every year and now they fry up to 100 pounds of testicles,
she said. 

"What else can you do in a small town?" Fenske said. 

Butch Joubert, 58, likes the parts sandwiched between bread with tartar
sauce. They're not so different from regular meatballs also served at the
festival, he said. 

"After a few beers, you can't really tell the difference," Joubert said.

Addendum:  
DUSTY UNDERWEAR 

One morning, Jeff took a pair of underwear out of the drawer. 'What  the ? ?
?'  he said to himself as a little 'dust' cloud appeared when he shook them 
out. 

'Joyce,'  he hollered into the bathroom, 'why did you put talcum powder in
my  underwear?' 

She  shot back:  'It's not talcum powder.  It's 
'Miracle Grow'.'
