Leno Eats 125 Year Old Fruitcake
insert Reagun jokes here: ______________________

<snip>

DETROIT -- Jay Leno was warned he may need a doctor, but went through with eating a 125-year-old fruitcake anyway.

"Is it crystalized," Leno said before eating a small bite pried from the cake with a pocketknife.

"It needs more time," he said after a deliberate chew.

Morgan Ford, 83, of Tecumseh, was Leno's guest on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." He brought his great-grandmother Fidelia Bates' fruitcake to Burbank, Calif., to share a piece with Leno for Tuesday's night's show.

Ford is the caretaker of the fruitcake, which has been handed down through generations.

Ford's daughter, Julie Ruttinger, of Tecumseh, e-mailed "The Tonight Show" recently about her family's antique fruitcake after seeing "The Fruitcake Lady" on the show. She wanted to tell them "we've got the real fruitcake."

10. like Leno or hate him, that fruitcake lady is a stitch . . .
she answers questions posed on tape by regular folks, and her answers are often hysterical . . . last night, some kid asked how many gingerbread men he could stuff in his mouth . . . she got all indignant at what she called a really stupid question (it was), and offered to shove ten gingerbread men up his ass! . . . gotta love the fruitcake lady . . . :)
