I'm glad someone figured out that joke, because I was thinking - there
must be something to it...

Do you think the Ufit version could become a joke, by itself? Like the
"All your base are belong to us!" craze?

RE "how do you tell if there are footprints in your refrigerator?" is
this another joke?
I have heard this one: "how do you tell if there's an elephant is in
your refrigerator" or something...
The answer is "footprints in the peanut butter" but I originally heard
it as footprints in the butter. I never could figure out why the
elephant stomped on my butter. Peanut butter seems better because
elephants like peanuts, but why would they leave footprints, instead of
eating it all?

Making jokes aunt funny!
