Ok, after JC's comment regarding his "pre-verted" friend, I moved the
conversation even more off center by introducing a joke understood far
and wide by crass Alaskans - which of course would fly over the heads of
most non-Alaskans.

It's common knowledge that igloos are houses of ice - and ice is "crunchy"
And who does the world know lives in igloos? Eskimos of course. (the
chewy and pink part......to a polar bear) :-)
