Swiss Spaghetti Harvest

I found this old film today and thought it was kind of cool, helps us think of spring and nice weather.   wh

[spoiler]This is a April Fools Day Joke..... Below is the story:

In 1957 a jokester at the BBC, ran a segment on the coming of spring after a mild winter and what that meant for Swiss farmers. The answer? An unusually large spaghetti crop. According to the Museum of Hoaxes, "Huge numbers of viewers were taken in. Many called the BBC wanting to know how they could grow their own spaghetti tree. To this the BBC diplomatically replied, 'place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best.'"[/spoiler]
Always remember.........Just because you have never seen something, does not mean that something does not exist.

Being half Italian I grow the best spaghetti ever.  Although with this harsh winter I am not sure my crop is going to be so good this year.  I guess I will have to purchase some of the swiss brand.  LMAO that is too funny.  I can't believe people would fall for that.
