All his life Pruny’s held one dark obsession in his shriveled heart; that his nuts would be consumed by all. Much to his chagrin, people chose the savory flavor of Deese Nuts over his Pruny Nuts every time. Driven by his dark desire, the Senator forced the nefarious Nut Act of 1855 through congress, outlawing all nuts other than his own. Small, wrinkled, and oh so unsavory; all those who put his Pruny Nuts in their mouths were left unsatisfied. In this time of great oppression, the people of the land yearned for choice, but the greedy Pruny was intent on forcing his nuts upon every mouth in the nation. He and his henchman scoured the land far and wide ensuring that only Pruny Nuts and not those of his arch-nemesis, Colonel Deese, were consumed. Try as he might, however, the harder Pruny squeezed the more nuts fell through his fingers. In battle after battle the Colonel never failed to gain the upper hand. Even after the Colonels tragic death, Pruny could find no victory. The followers of Deese and his nuts pressed on, eventually throwing out the Nut Act and leaving Pruny in ruins. The great lesson he failed to learn was that nuts lose their flavor when they are forced in your mouth.
