It was about the great Spagetti crop failure of 1982 the hill sides surrounding the Italian city of Palermo were washed out with heavy rains and the spagetti was rotting on the vines farmers in the region were unable to pick it because of the constant down poor and as a result the entire crop was devistated ( the TV camera showed row after row of spaggetti hanging soggy and drooped on the vine . ) I remember my dad saying that it could ruin Italies economy. the TV station was inundated with callers frantic about helping out the poor devistated farmers
Spagetti dont grow on a da plants peoples

It's a pretty old joke. At the old spaghetti factory (Sydney, circa 1972) they had all these pictures of the spaghetti crops and all the proud old Italian peasants going about their business. These pictures looked like they had been shot in the 30s, but they could have been faked. If something hokey is reported on April 1, then it's probably hokey.

I remember that joke! I remember some classmates of mine (4th grade) mentioning what a waste it was, all that rotting spaghetti. I told them that I didn't think spaghetti grew on trees but they rebuffed me saying that it was on the news and where else was it supposed to come from?
