I came across this delicately-worded plaque commemorating the Donner Party at a snowy highway rest stop on a recent road trip on Route 80, over the Donner Pass. Notice that it says many died…but not all. No mention of how the survivors survived. Also, “emigrant” is misspelled.

The Other White Meat is completely hilarious!
Oh…I dunno. I think it is in rather Poor Taste!
Unless you like white meat!
Only with fava beans and a nice chianti…
And a nice salad!
Donner? Party of twelve… Donner? Party of eleven… Donner? Perty of ten…
