Honestly, I never heard of it, and I have a penchant for word games. Whatever you want to call it. It amused me. I'm a July person, we laugh at the silliest things. We were going to bed a couple of nights ago and I said, for flat out no apparent reason, why am I blue and you're green. Well, I don't know why I said that as a joke, it's stupid. Without missing a beat, ron said, because we're two M&Ms talking to each other? I laughed and laughed till I fell asleep. I think my idiot sense of humor has rubbed off on that Virgo. Sorry, I never did hear of a tunnel of fudge, but ... what can I say ... made me laugh. nancy |
