Looking for the perfect suit for that special occasion? Well look no further. I give you the Bacon Scented Bacon Print Tuxedo. No, really. I wonder how long before this starts showing up at cons.

Daughter Diane: Why so glum? Really?  Are you kidding me? She's almost 82 and undergoing a complete hip replacement? You ever hear of this little thing called risk?
