   The Donner Party was stuck in a high-altitude camp in winter.
   Some of them supposedly ended up as food for the others.

   Why do you have this compulsion to explain a joke that everyone already gets?

   Thank you Randy & Dave. I was aware of the Donner party. They only ate the ones who died naturally. Even so some of them were brought up on charges.

   There may be many non-US readers who would not know that bit of history.

   You’ve all very welcome.
   Remember that reading the comments is optional.
   Taking offense is yet another optional step.

    You have the right to be offended. Just not the right to censor.
