One of the problems that came from all this was the dreaded Spaghetti Tree beetle, which had never been encountered before, but I suppose that was because the trees weren't invented yet. (Obvious conclusion when you think about it).
They were ground- dwelling beetles which couldn't climb but actually jumped up, grabbed hold of the fully-matured no. 1 al dente spaghetti, pulled itself up and made the hole in the centre larger, so that it was no longer No.1. This was unforgivable and certainly unacceptable.
A real dilemma!! But a brilliant young man who started out as a rocket scientist working for the Alaskan Government. eventually found a way to shorten their long legs which they used so that they couldn't jump up and reach the spaghetti. He did this by crossing them with a fairly unobtrusive bed mite. No longer could they jump -they were now resigned to the fact that they could only crawl. However, another problem arose with the new-style beetle - you could now no longer eat your spaghetti in bed as the beetles discovered they could crawl into the beds (a throwback to the crossed bed bugs) and ate it out of the plates. Unfortunately there is no answer to this problem at this stage. The young rocket scientist was given a Knighthood by the government for his reward but not much else. Anyway, as you all know that's history now, as this Spaghetti Tree has been on the market for many years, giving pleasurable gourmet delight to trillions of consumers. No doubt you have one growing at your place? Don't forget to manure your Spaghetti Tree. Now, that's another story Anyway, here's a good menu for you to try: "http://www.servcom.com.au/pronto.pasta/m..." Have a Happy April 1st! Go To Page: 1 2
