One Of Life's Great Mysteries (Quinzaine)



~~~~~~~~

I still have two hotdogs left.

Why group buns in eights?

Why not tens?

~~~~~~~~


Author notes

I remember hearing about this on a cartoon once, so I admit it's not an original thought.  However, these questions really do intrigue me!

I actually heard the answer to them once, too: (1) one leftover hotdog ALWAYS falls on the floor, and (2) the other is for the family dog!

    Excellent Wrting

    Another cute, clever one!

    This poem from your Front Page just knocks me out:

    ~~~~~~~
    He Is My Song (Hosea 2:14-16)

    What greater grace is there to see
    Than that of when my Lord chose me
    To be His own eternal wife,
    Though I have lived a harlot's life;
    With words of love, in softest voice,
    Forever He has made His choice-
    And on that day I wear His ring,
    He is the song that I will sing.
    ~~~~~~~

    It is SO VERY beautiful. --Ellis

    That is sooo true-we usually buy things in tens and by the dozen-who thought of eight? Maybe the bun people did. Cuz then you have to buy another whole pack to have enough. It's a conspiracy!!!! Thanks for this clever entry and best wishes in the contest!~vj
