Re: Ahem! (blush)



Linda,
According to my sources they are a little known American food stuff composed of a
covering of rancid Yak butter over a gelignite core molded in the shape of a
puppy.  Given to proper detonator, these puppies explode causing a terrible
stinking mess.  The appalling smell of the rancid Yak butter (especially in
enclosed spaces) usually causes a hush to fall over any nearby bystanders.
Therefore, the term "hush puppies" has gained some credence in archivists
circles.  Hope this helps, Dick (go to your corner) King
