Now that is a very good question, one in which I am glad you have asked. Leave it with me for a bit and I will get back to you

How come there are only 6 hotdog buns in a package and 8 in the hotdog pouch? do they think we will drop 2 while we are grilling them?

Now that is an easy one to answer.

The answer to your gem of a question Blazing is in fact that the makers of said hot dogs realise how tasty they are, and that the majority of pet owners like to feed their animals in the same way as they eat. Thus, those extra 2 are for feeding cats and dogs.

Does that satisfy your curiosity?

Because doing it the other way around tends to result in massive car damage and higher insurance rates for those involved. It's better not to argue the idiosyncracies of the English language with several tons of steel moving at high speed

That too is simple for my professor like brain to explain.

The reason for that Madam, is basically they tricked you. Over the last couple of months they have been giving you very watered down coffee, possibly even decaff. Mainly to lul you into a false sense of secuirty. Then when you are least expecting it BANG they put you back on the normal caffeine laden coffee again. Thus knocking you clean off of your feet.

Re: Ask a silly question -

Where is Emma?

The wise one (Richt) answerer of all silly questions can confirm that Emma only works half a day on Friday and is more than likely at home.

Re: Ask a silly question -

Thank you "old" wise one. ADBB without Jane and Emma is a double blow. She needs to get her happy rear in here.

Re: Ask a silly question -

I'm sure she will get back on later this evening. And will no doubt see this thread.

Re: Ask a silly question -

What is a woodchuck?

I know that a chuck holds a drill or rod of metal in a drill or lathe.

I have never seen a chuck on a wood turning lathe, but I suppose there could be such a creature.

Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Some rather unfortunate people. I see the share prices were falling. No great surprise there
