Question: Is it the happiness, per se, that is against the law in Boringville, or is it the public display of it? I mean, if I lived there, would I have to keep my joy and my funky dancing in the closet? Sort of a don't ask, don't tell sort of deal?
Happiness is fine, but they try to maintain a consistent level of boringness. Funky dancing is not boring, therefore it is unacceptable public behavior. It could lead to all kinds of excitement. The horror!
Seems I remember a commercial with dancing raisins. Now I realize they were cockroaches. There is nothing boring in Markville. 😉
Yikes! I am rarely bored in Markville either. 🤣

I supposed sex is frowned upon, too, as it can lead to dancing... Oh, wait, maybe it is the other way around...?
I believe public sex is illegal almost everywhere. In Boringville, you would feel the wrath of Sheriff Stoppit for sure!
Well, I just hope they have that posted on a sign at the outskirts of town.
The sign reads Welcome to Boringville, Where nothing exciting happens. Please remain calm.
Oh Mark, you kill me with all the clever names in Boringville. 😆
Sorry, murder is too exciting for Boringville.
🤔 I donut have a witty reply for this one.
Oh cruller!
My eyes are glazing over. 🍩😉

There’s a song lyric that I’ve glommed onto… nothing to do with bakeries, but relevant to this thread about crawling raisins.
“I’ve been having revelations and I’m going to let them shine.”
Oh boy! The excitement!
We had a similar disturbance in Dulltown, but it was the donut shop, and the police were at the forefront of the protest.
🤣 What goes around comes around. 🍩😉
Turns out it was actual raisins, and that just made things worse! Gaaak! Raisins in donuts?!
That does sound disgusting. Put them in a pastry if you must, but not a donut!
In Canada, non-donut pastries with raisins in them are called "Dutchies", but the origin of the term escapes me.
They are called Danish here sometimes. Maybe from their origins?
Likely.
Worth a citation or two. Or six.
Indeed.
