It's A Hard Knock Life

Mung tries out her favorite Knock Knock joke on Jung:

Mung- Knock knock.
Jung- (groan) Who's there?
Mung- Aaaaaah-cchhh.
Jung- Aaaaaah-cchhh who?
Mung- Oh, bless you.
Jung- Mung you are so stupid.

4th July- Red, White and Who?

The Force of July

Who is Uncle Sam? As a tribute to the Fourth of July, Mung uses her broadband access to find out the origin of this phrase and the story behind it.

The term 'Uncle' Sam', used commonly as a personification of the United States, originates from a man called Samuel Wilson, who worked as a meat packer in Troy, New York around 1812. The barrels of meat he would recieve were stamped with the initials 'U.S.' and he joked with his workmates that the 'U.S.' was a reference to him, 'Uncle Sam'. The joke (hilarious) caught on, one thing led to another and Bob- sorry, I mean- Sam's your uncle.

Funnel Vision

Funnel cake, an American carnival snack made by pouring batter from a funnel into hot oil and deep-frying until golden brown. Commonly served with icing sugar and ice-cream.

In this duality of naughty but nice, Mung's heart defeated Mung's head so she granted herself the pleasure of devouring the calorie-abundant dessert. As Mung chomped and gobbled through the plate of the cake, she was disappointed to find that there was in fact, no 'light at the end of the funnel'.

Left was only an empty plate and a few pounds of funnel cake to digest.
