I wonder, if you illegally took a loaf of German fruit bread from a store, would that make it stolen stollen?
You see, stollen is a kind of German fruit bread. And stolen is the illegally taking of someone else's stuff. When you put the two words together, see, there's a sort of pun at work, running them together like that. Stolen Stollen. It's alliterative too. That means it's sort of funny, and sort of a joke.
Oh bother. Me brothers were right. It isn't going to work. Especially since it would be difficult to steal stollen, as the powdered sugar topping which stollen often has for icing would leave a trail.
