Because it was Stollen.
I made up this joke when I was twelve, 29 years ago. A search of this subreddit shows that it has been made before. Being kind of a no-brainer, it is easy to believe that someone else came up with it independently. But it would be really cool if, and it is entirely possible that it is my own joke getting back to me.
Many of the jokes are contributions from our users. If you find anything offensive and against our policy please report it here with a link to the page. We will do everything to make this an enjoyable platform for everyone.
