Hop along Peanut Butter

There is a fellow I happen to know personally who is called Hop Along.  Hop was a big star in the mud wrestling business and he ate carrots in his spare time.  Hop Along ate more carrots than any other child that he knew and he also liked to drink Tequila often and always with a worm in the bottle.  He could not share his tequila with any of his religious Jewish friends because they only drank Kosher Tequila and Hop Along refused these brands because he really thought that there had to be a worm to make it good drink.  So Hop and I did not drink together any more.  I became kosher and he went his way.   He did however like to shop for peanut butter and he owned every brand you could think of.  Jiffy and all the like they were in his closet at home.  This peanut butter collection was a busy business for Hop Along and he really liked to sell it too to unhappy young students who just wanted to make peanut butter sandwiches on their low budget.   I like Hop a little bit.   I  really do, but I wish we could share a bottle of Kosher Tequila.  Its good stuff and I bet he would not know whether it did have a worm or not.  Thanks!
