That sort of thing would go down well (pun intended) at this event, perhaps?

Stephen King's newest graphic novel is about a demonic cable spool that terrorized a small town in Wisconsin, killing the citizenry and eating their cheese.

I suppose you avoid Cooper's Hill, where the cheese attacks, right?

You'll all hate me, but I finally understand how 'American Cheese' is delivered from the factory.

My college roommates and I were grocery shopping once and as we walked past the 'Merican Cheese section I commented on that gawd-awful plastic processed cheese food and wondered out loud who on earth bought it. Then a nice looking young women with two toddlers in tow reached past me, picked up a brick of that stuff and smiled at me. I just smiled back...

ROfl - it sounds like one of my fave jokes (and I've see it happen); "What cheese would you like, Sir ? We have both". Some grotty pub 10 miles south of Oban - I'm not often lost for words, but he took cheese, biscuit, and anything else I coud think of. Had I not just driven 50 miles in a storm form hell, I'd have thought he was having a laugh. It was the worse place I've ever been in my life - just so funny you could have made a 'Fawlty Towers' style sictom about it.
