The idea was that the decorator probably saw "Good luck in Mississippi" on the order form and gave up because Mississippi is too hard to spell. And, if you think about it, by default, if the destination was Mississippi, the point of origin for the cake would have to be anywhere but Mississippi.<br /><br />johnjohn (the hubby of Jen)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-65377929605929726032011-01-20T09:08:33.953-05:002011-01-20T09:08:33.953-05:00If the first one had an apostrophe before the &quo...If the first one had an apostrophe before the "Appy" I would have accepted some sort of Eliza Doolittle tribute.Winonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05376228249243439155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-2225856026793652822011-01-20T06:55:28.302-05:002011-01-20T06:55:28.302-05:00As an intelligent Mississippian, I can predict tha...As an intelligent Mississippian, I can predict that you just ticked off all of your Mississippi readers.
