Mine too; given the number of coupons needed for anything, it was a testimony to how much se smoked.

That would beat 9 out of 10 SNL skits.

True, but that's a pretty low bar.

I remember seeing HOMO 1 and HOMO 2 milk in the grocery store as a kid. I assume those were percentages of milk fat.

We got Jersey milk from the dairy farm down the road. I'm sure it wasn't HOMOgenized at all. The cream would rise to the top of the gallon jar we got it in, probably 2" thick. According to google, Jersey milk averages 4.57% milk fat. No wonder I have heart issues.

How do you know it's a Jersey cow?
By its license plate stupid.

I remember Denniz 'd Menniz asking me the meaning of that old joke.

I also remember a MAD MAGAZINE take off on cigarette coupons, sung to the tune of some popular song that escapes my memory:

People stop and stare at our landing strip
It took fifteen million coupons to gain ownership

I never smoked, but I do enjoy living on a landing strip.

Ahh, it was On the Street Where You Live sung, probably about the same time, by Vic Damone and Nat King Cole.
