SIR PINKY:

You're right, it isn't particularly funny. I guess they just wanted to
think of a factory that was as boring as possible, which makes it kinda
funnyish that Donald has to work there.

I seem to remember they've talked about the margarine factory at least
since the eighties, possibly longer.


What is skunk oil, anyway? Is it just someting Barks made up, or do you
actually have something like that in US?
