One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to DisneyLand, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said, "DisneyLand burned down." He cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real DisneyLand, but it was getting pretty late.

If I lived back in the wild west days, instead of carrying a six-gun in my holster, I'd carry a soldering iron. That way, if some smart-aleck cowboy said something like "Hey, look. He's carrying a soldering iron!" and started laughing, and everybody else started laughing, I could just say, "That's right, it's a soldering iron. The soldering iron of justice." Then everybody would get real quiet and ashamed, because they had made fun of the soldering iron of justice, and I could probably hit them up for a free drink.

Not that I have ever thought of this .. as we get our hot dogs in packets of 12 and the buns in 6 .. but I think the way you do ... it just is not logical!buffettbride wrote:What I really wanna know is why hot dogs are sold in packages of 10 but hot dog buns are sold in packages of 8. You'd have to buy 4 packages of hot dogs and 5 packages of buns to make it work.
Well heck..with that many weeeners it's almost a party!

no, I think it can be a universal thing ... I cant think of examples right now - but we have the exact same thing ... just not with hot dogs!buffettbride wrote:It's because Americans ain't that smuckin fart sometimes!

Fear can sometimes be a useful emotion. For instance, let's say you're an astronaught on the moon and you fear that your partner has been turned into Dracula. The next time he goes out for the moon pieces, wham!, you just slam the door behind him and blast off. He might call you on the radio and say he's not Dracula, but you just say, "Think again, bat man."
