Black market butter :lol1:

There has to be a documentary on that somewhere :popcorn:

I don't get it?

Hmmm... How to explain?

http://www.dietdoctor.com/black-market-butter-is-becoming-expensive-in-norway

1. I was making fun a little bit about the deal in the coupon. Not impressed with saving 50 cents off two packages of butter. I could get a better deal in Norway!

2. Sometimes on TV there will be a humorous character who can get you "anything" cheaper (or something you can't get anywhere else legally) on the black market. Black market meaning illegally sold items.

3. This also makes me think of when people call their "dealer" for illegal drugs. = I'm running out of butter, I better call my dealer.

Joke fail :laugh:

There REALLY is a story on "black market butter": :lol1: That is EVEN funnier

More and more bizarre stories are arriving from low-carb-eating Norway. How about smuggling butter and selling it on the black market for about $70 a pound? This is not a joke, it’s apparently already happened. The picture above shows smuggled butter being confiscated recently.

In Sweden the butter shortage that plagued us during the fall is now under control, due to increased imports. But who knows what will happen in 2012? The world’s production of butter may need to be increase to satisfy the ever-increasing Scandinavian demand. And what will happen as more countries stop fearing natural fat?

Jerry, I found a reference to "moonshine butter" -

http://blog.chicagohistory.org/index.php/2012/08/moonshine-butter/

Unlabeled margarine became contraband. In 1886, the federal government also placed a 10 percent tax on colored oleomargarine. To save money, retailers bought the lower-taxed uncolored oleomargarine and colored it on the sly. The results became known as “moonshine butter.” Like illegal whiskey, moonshine butter was made in out of the way, typically unsanitary, locations, and sellers of moonshine butter as pure butter were subject to steep fines and even prison sentences.

All of this illegal butter talk because LOL stands for Land O Lakes. :D

After you buy the plane ticket?

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.

This post was meant as a joke, "LOL" can mean anything you want it to. The commonly accepted use on the Internet is "Lots of laughs" or "Loads of laughs".

If some people want to make a religious message of it, that's up to them, but it doesn't affect us.

Sorry if anyone misunderstood.

WHAT!! This was a joke!!!!! :lol1:
