But it's not Pink !!

 My pal Jack the Ripper , (He was called that because he was a rigger and one day he cut his thumb), went to Canada on the Garden Show, He and his partner( who's name I can't remember, maybe someone can enlighten me),  had the floss joint, they opened somewhere near Quebec City. While setting up the joint they discovered that they had forgotten to bring red food coloring, so they went hunting around town for it, to no avail, No one had any, But someone at a grocery store told them that the local meatpacking plant used purple food grade dye to mark inspected meat so they went there and purchased some with the idea that they could say it was grape flavored cotton candy.
 So they mixed some in a  thirty pound can of sugar and started making floss. "Oh no ",said jack," it looks like matress stuffing".It was too strong, so they decided to mix more sugar, it was still very dark, so they put in all the sugar they had. It was still very dark but they decided they would have to do the best they could.
So they made a few boards and waited. The manager came by and told them the matinee and night show will be a light house the first day. So Jacks partner said," How about you take the first show, I'll go catch a nap in the hotel and when I come back you can take the night show off?" Jack said OK and his partner left for the hotel.  The crowd started drifting in and people started buying candy, The show started and just before the finale, people started coming out of the seats and going to the floss stand.  They started screaming at Jack, opening their mouths and pointing at their tongues. Their tongues were a bright purple color. Since they were in Quebec they were all yelling in French. Of course Jack figured out what they were saying more or less and pointed to the rest room saying, you can rinse your mouth out over there. They were coming back and their tongues still looked royally purple. "Use soap" he told them.
Now there was a huge crowd in front of the floss joint when Jacks partner walked up. "What's up? " he asked. Jack took off his change apron and handed it to him and said, "Your turn, see you later", and screwed to the hotel before his partner could say another word.
 Jack was in the hotel room and the door opened about midnight, it was his partner who said,"You no good rotten son of a bitch !" 
 Show biz is full of pitfalls....mon sacre diem!!!
