Testicle Shortage

First read this:

ICELAND (Wireless Flash) -- Here's food for thought: the Icelandic delicacy known as ram's testicles has become so popular that meat packers are suffering a shortage of the testy treats.

Nordlenska, a meat packing company in northern Iceland, says supplies are dangerously low and it's coming at a bad time: Iceland is currently celebrating a four-week long Viking festival known as "Thorria," when folks eat lots of testicles.

Nordlenska's assistant sales manager Gunnar Nielsson claims the testicles, also known as "minister's sausage," are rising in popularity because of a nostalgic return to foods that Icelanders' grandparents ate.

He says even kindergarten students are nuts for the balls and enjoy pickling them in a salty brine and eating them with toothpicks.

Fried ram's testicles are also becoming a hit with Italian-Americans but Nielsson doesn't know if his company can keep up with the demand since, "rams only have two testicles."

...surely they can get more testicles from somewhere, yah?
