THAT’S CORRECT, SPAM OPENS MUSEUM
For some 66 years the southern Minnesota town of Austin (22,000 population) has been known jokingly as Spamtown.
All (you’ve) got to say is Spam and you’ve got a discussion,” said Nancy Barker of Menasha, Wisconsin, “Of course, there’s also quite a lot of jokes.” The museum opened officially in September, but Spam maker Hormel Foods delayed a celebration until Saturday because of Sept. 11. Admission is free and visitors can take a Spam exam or can their own Spam. Hell, there’s a radio station named KSpam.
In 1935, Hormel President Jay Hormel held a contest at the New Year’s Eve party to name the meat. The winner spliced the words “spice” and “ham” to claim the $100 prize.

After a few moments, the young man noticed him staring and said, “What’s the matter, old man, haven’t you ever done anything wild?”

One thing is for sure: There’s never a dull moment. Ride Forever, Bandit.
