TALES FROM THE SHIRE

TALES FROM THE SHIRE

There’s the old problem of 10 hot dogs in a pack, but only 8 buns. Why? Answers vary. So the cook can taste test them. So the dogs get some. In case you drop one or two. So you can chop a couple up in your mac and cheese the next day. Your kid doesn’t eat bread. Your hungry teenager wants two dogs on one bun.

Why don’t billfolds have enough room for all the cards and money?

I don’t have so much money that my billfold would bulge, but when I am looking to buy a new one I am sometimes disappointed when I get home and it won’t close properly with all the cards in it. I also don’t have so many credit cards, but the discount membership cards, insurance cards, gift cards, and a few business cards fill it up fast. And cards these days are thicker plastic and not just card stock.

And why are so many billfolds padded? Is it so the cards are comfy? I think it just takes up space in my purse.

And why are some purses so heavy without anything in them yet?

Why don’t stretchy pants have pockets in the front? Is it because the pockets' slits might stretch and poke out? And why are there fake pockets? They surely would If someone is trying to wear a size too small. And why are the back pockets so tiny on so many pants? What if I don’t want to carry a purse? Keys in the back pocket look like a butt wart.

Why do so many clothing makers use barbed wire to sew in the neck tags? I have fussed about this before, but was re-irritated this week by having to remove a tag at work before it cut my spinal cord.

Why does food have artificial ingredients? What’s wrong with regular ingredients? Why do you have to add coloring to lunch meat?

How smart is my phone? Why was there frost in late March?

Why can’t I remember the other stuff I was going to write?
