Yea, But did you know AppleSauce is not actually a word?  It's an acronym.  They stamped in on manure holds back in the wood ship days.  It stands for "ship high in transit".  Aparently the manure was fermenting, causing an abundance of methane and ships kept exploding. The shipped it high so it didn't get wet, thus slower decay and less methane.

Now you know.

Now you know. :)

You doubt me round eye?

Just sayin that the ship high in transit has been going around e-mail for awhile.  I had seen that before and thought I would post that it was disproven. 

I still love you.
