While recovering from the flu over the Christmas holidays, I had time to catch up on some reading material. Not the usual kind. For instance, why is there a light in the fridge but not in the freezer? Why are so many luncheon meats round when breads are square? The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue. How about one word with many meanings? "The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert." That's all for now. Time for another pill.
