Because "Wisconsin Chainsaw Massacre" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

It's so irritating when people come here and don't even learn our language properly.

Am I missing something here? WTF does "wet foot/dry foot" mean?

Wet foot = illegal Mexican immigrant
dry foot = other Mexican immigrant.

I think it comes from the idea of the illegals swimming the Rio Grande.

Seaboe, who got interrupted typing this and has probably been spanked by now.

Nope. This policy refers to the Cubans.

Wet feet/dry feet

The wet feet, dry feet policy (sometimes called the wet-foot, dry-foot policy) is the name given to a consequence of the 1995 revision of the Cuban Adjustment Act of 1966 that says, essentially, that anyone who fled Cuba and got into the United States would be allowed to pursue residency a year later. After talks with the Cuban government, the Clinton administration came to an agreement with Cuba that it would stop admitting people found at sea.

Thanks for the clearing up of that. I had never heard of that term before, and was cautious of asking, in case it was a racial slur. Still, better to ask than to not and remain ignorant.

I will have to keep this in mind when I eat my lunch in the restroom.
I was always wondering what that extra flavor on my sandwich was.

Comment: THANK YOU FOR SUCH A WONDERFUL INFORMITIVE SITE. I'M VERY HAPPY
PEOPLE GET TO CHECK OUT SOME PRETTY STUPID AND WRONG JUNK MAIL. THE STORY
ABOUT THE PANCAKE MIX WAS SCARY, THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE. BECAUSE, AS
FUSSY AS I AM ABOUT FOOD ETC., I PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE BELIEVED THAT
STORY.
I LOOK FOR ALL THE EXPERATION DATES WHEN SHOPING AND I LIKE TO KNOW WHAT I
HAVE IN MY PANTRY. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THE DATES ARE IN ANOTHER
LANGUAGE, LIKE FROM THE MOON? HOW CAN WE GET THE MANUFACTURERS TO PUT THE
EXPERATION DATES ON ALL FOOD STUFF WHERE WE CAN READ IT EASILY? THANKS.
