    I think Jack’s on to it. Sirloin does come in tri-tips As for the fainting, that’s an old punch line about any father discovering after the delivery that he’s got more than one child. (OMG, the diaper bill, etc.)

    I didn’t know that tri-tips were a cut of beef until I lived in California (for those questioning this comic).

    So, this comic makes sense only for people who live in California? I’ve never heard the term before.

    The tri tip is a cut of beef from the bottom sirloin (sub prime cut). It’s usually 1.5-2.5 pounds and is usually marketed as a trip tip roast.Before the 1950s, it was ground into hamburger, but a Santa Maria chef rubbed it with seasonings and grilled it directly over red oak wood chips to medium rare and it caught on. It’s often labeled “Santa Maria Steak” as a result. You can also roast it on a rotisserie, smoke it in a pit or braise it in a Dutch oven and then after cooking slice the meat across the grain. (Here in Florida, the grocery stores sell it as tri-tip roast, in New York it’s marketed as Newport Steak.)

    Good one Philip, some people just have to make everything political.

    Cow-tipping is an old-time prank of kids in cattle country.
