New
England Shenoogies date back to the Knights of the Roundtable in the
14th Century when the court jester hid the king's bifocals so he
couldn't read any humorous readings on his SmartPhone. Eventually disappearing from
society until the 16th century, Shenoogies made a strong comeback in
the book section of the now defunct Woolworth's Department Store. Losing
popularity once again, however, after a tremendous five-month run, New
England Shenoogies became a household name in the 17th Century when a
gas station in South Taunton, Mass., gave free copies of the
regionalized humor to customers after each purchase of gas.
We are proud to revive the lost art of New England Shenoogies here
on
VisitingNewEngland. Some of the local humor is obvious and some might
take some time to reflect. Other passages border on being a complete
waste of time. I also supplied each Shenoogie with a hashtag, just in
case you'd like to share them on social media. If not, that's OK. I
completely understand. Enjoy them all!
