Ponder this...............

If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him?

Re: Ponder this...............

How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?

Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?

If all the world is a stage, where is the audience sitting?

Re: Ponder this...............

Funnily enough, I found the answer:


Glue is made up of a substance that sticks to things and a solvent that keeps it liquid until you want it to stick. When you put glue on a piece of paper, the solvent gradually evaporates until the glue becomes sticky. When the glue is in a bottle, there is a space inside the bottle above the liquid that is full of air. So why doesn't the glue dry out? Well there's a limit to the amount of solvent that can evaporate to fill the space in the bottle. Once the space is full of solvent gas, no more solvent evaporates from the glue and the glue stays runny.

Thats your story and you're sticking to it

Re: Ponder this...............

Well I haven't even heard of Jimmy who cracks the corn

Re: Ponder this...............

Pardon my ignorance, but is cracking the corn a rural thing like popping your weasel or whatever?, I'm just a townie I haven't a clue about these things, but I do remember the song. Did Jimmy Rogers sing it?,
