Loretta, just read about the Yorkshire pudding & "the joint of beef." To most of us in Alabama & South, "a joint" of anything is referring to Marijuana or MaryJane (slang).

When my ex (who was in the Army) worked at the Army Hospital in Landstuhl, Germany, the Gastroenterology Specialist smoked his share of MaryJane. Before the kids & I got to Germany, the ex went to a big Rock Concert with him & Chris (former linebacker in football from Univ of Colorado) fell off backwards off the open stands. Never phased him. Someone asked him if he had ever smoked a Turkey (like on a meat smoker)...he said, I've smoked a little bit of everything, but I've never smoked any turkey (meaning like a Marijuana cigarette). He was serious. Talk about being a cleaning freak, he cleaned the floors in the GE Lab with Isoprophic Alcohol (this is true. My office was right across from the Lab, so I knew when he was cleaning without opening my door ). We went to a Party at his house once, someone dropped a drink on the floor & he brought out the alcohol. We were in our 20's back then (in 1970's). Couldn't do that again with drinking & partying.
