History of the AH-VO-KA-DOH
Did you know that the Aztecs were the first to use the avocado as an aphrodisiac? That avocado is a Conquistador corruption of the Aztec "ahuacatl" meaning testicle? It's also been known over the years as the alligator pear, midshipman's butter or simply a pear depending on where you are. Avocados are yummy! California produces 95% of the world's avocados! It's said that Cortez smeared himself in avocado butter shortly after his garroting of Montezuma and subsequent conquest of Mexico City. It's said he went mad and died trying to hump an unwilling pyramid. Really. Check out the link.

I once knew a guy who covered his head in tin foil and was caught by his mother sitting on the toilet playing "MR. Tin hat man". Another Playmate of my youth grew up, got an apartment, covered the floor with plastic, smeared himself (and partner) with vegetable oil. The last time I saw him he was 22 and had 3 kids. Tin foil hat Man moved to PEI and became a gay chef. Immagine if Eastern Canada had avocados. I always thought California made a lot of "NUTS". The hot sun makes the skulls of Cali-nites half baked for life.
couldn't have said it better myself.
