Really? You never heard of the great Flytrap Glutfest in Toenail Hollow,
TN? People come from the entire county and try to see how much they can
get a VFT to digest. Last year, the winner was Mrs. Beulah Snort of
Booger Hollow, who managed to feed her prize-winning flytrap an entire
'83 Dodge Blazer. Zebediah Swinebinder and his wife Elmira came in a
close second with three delinquent teen agers, a tire iron, and a box of
Milk Duds.
