Is that Ward, Wally or Beaver?

If you don't know who they are, then just call me an old fart and shake your head.

Can we call you an old fart and shake our heads if we do know who they are and actually got the joke?

Ask and you shall receive! This is from www.spam.com.

1937: SPAM is born! Originally called HORMEL Spiced Ham, the company holds a contest to create a name as distinctive as the taste. The winner, Kenneth Daigneau, receives the grand prize... $100.

Other important 1937 occurrences: Amelia Earhart, disappears in her attempt to be the first woman to fly around the world; Route 66 is officially completed, total distance: 2,448 miles (that's 39 million cans of SPAM laid end-to-end!); the Golden Gate Bridge open.

According to yourDictionary.com:

Spam - A trademark used for a canned meat product consisting primarily of chopped pork (aka monkey) pressed into a loaf.

I refuse to use the word *****. It is a useless word. The original word for the combination of spoon and fork is "runcible". That word was good enough for 150 years - we don't need no special words to describe the annoying breaky plasticy things from fastfoodland.

From 1871: "They dined on mince, and slices of quince. Which they ate with a runcible spoon," from The Owl & The Pussy-Cat.

"Just keep walkin, preacher man."
