1. There is a company, a real honest to God corporation with shares on a stock exchange that you can buy and sell, called the "Tootie Pie Company" (it's stock symbol is TOOT - as in, "hey, stock broker, get me 10,000 units of TOOT asap!")
2. There was apparently a pumpkin pie crisis just prior to American Thanksgiving of last year.
3. The Tootie Pie Company reported on November 20 of last year that they had "solved the pumpkin pie crisis".
4. Tootie Pie Company stated, in print, that, "Today's news from Nestle that our country is facing a shortage of pumpkin pies in advance of Thanksgiving is nothing short of an emergency and, being the maker of the best pies anywhere, we felt compelled to step in and do our part to solve this emergency by announcing that THE TOOTIE PIE COMPANY HAS PUMPKIN PIES for delivery! So, call us or visit our website at www.tootiepieco.com but whatever you do, don't have Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie." (emphasis mine)
5. The fact that grown ups with straight faces are thinking of, writing about and believing in these things is funny to me.
