Thank A Vet, But Not With These Cakes

How To Honor A Veteran On Veterans Day:

1) Start by spelling it right.

[mumbled moans and growls]

"..."

[backing away slowly]

"... how to escape from Sesameeee Streeeeet?"

[whispering] "How to escape from Sesame Street."


Thanks to Michelle M., Abby G., Arelys F. & Anony M. for the Street cred.
(Yeah, yeah, I know the last one isn't cake - but it made me laugh berry much. :P)

Happy Sesame Street Day, muppets and minions!
