Lynn, Lynn, city of...goo?

I'm sure you've heard the saying "Lynn, Lynn, city of sin, never come out the way you went in."

I've heard it 3.3 million times.

That's how it is.

However, I recently found out a fact about Lynn that brings a proud tear to my eye: Lynn is the home of "Fluff," the white, gooey, sugary goodness you spread on peanut butter sammiches. That's right, friends. Fluff. There's one plant in the country that produces the stuff, and it's in Lynn. I grew up there, and never knew about this great history.

So next time you're discussing the land of crackwhores and carjackings, and somebody says "LYNN! HA! Lynn, Lynn, city of sin..." you cut them off and say:

"Au contraire, my good man/woman. Lynn, Lynn, city of Fluff. FLUFF!"

They won't have a comeback for that one.

What do they make the Fluff out of?

Or is that something I don't want to know?

Slappy I am soo excited. I did not know that the fair city of Lynn hatched the "Fluffernutter" one of the wonders of civilization:

Um... the only rhyme that pops into my head for "fluff" is "muff," which just takes us right back where we started.

Well, sure, there are all those, but they just didn't fit the joke. How often I've tried to bluff my way into a tough, rough muff.

Stuff? Man, what we could do with that.

Tough muff's kinda like jerky.
