He was showing off to his friends. They had a little competition: who was the fastest at cracking, grinding, making 10 tortillas. He was not a very careful fella. Plus, he died before he got to the tortilla making part.

I like that idea! Slap them on shot glasses and I think you have a hit on your hands.

No, it's a good collector's item and wacky haikus would be perfect for drinking. Writers like to drink so...I imagine haiku readers also enjoy drinking. Or something....

Hooked on Cracked, went Mad

Lampooned by society

**I actually wrote for Cracked and National Lampoon. But never Mad. Always rejected by those bast-- them.
