1. I guess you had to be there. Mardi Gras humor, you know.
Things look funnier out in the real world than in hear sometimes.

5. It's a King Cake baby.
They are luck, but they also mean you have to buy the next King Cake. Although many bakeries won't bake the baby into the cake anymore, because people not aware of the tradition keep swallowing the babies.
