We hide from our To Do lists. Don't move and make no sound or they're gonna find us!


What if humans looked like cabbage?

Jubal

Then I would be considered more beautiful.


Why don't books decide themselves where they should be shelved? They have all the knowledge in after all.
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

(You would also have a much higher risk of being eaten by rabbits!)

All that knowledge weighs a ton and makes the poor books tired. You can't expect them to make shelving decisions, they've always lived among humans and thus are dependent on us.


What is yellow and makes "moo"?

Jubal

Sauron.


What is the result of afflerbating a condecoction of phragonomy and pennywhence?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

They create a phragowhence which has to be condecocted with hoblafroo. Then you'll have to rolpledink the afflerbation within 20 minutes, otherwise it explodes and emits dangerous hoblafroofroos. You don't want to mess with those.


Why is silliness so funny? :)

Jubal

Because also then, applying spooner's theory, fillyness is sunny, and as the sitcom tells us, it's always sunny in Philadelphia.

Why do showers not provide backing vocals when one sings in them?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

I don't know! They absolutely should. It's a gap in the market.

Why are vacuum cleaners so obnoxiously loud?

Jubal

They're actually trying to whisper, they're just really bad at it.


Why don't more geese set up local small businesses?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

Because they can't handle the paperwork. They have no hands, you see.

What is the worst noise ever made by a human?

Jubal

It was a raspberry blown by a small child in the summer of 1756, which caused three droughts, a turnip crop failure, and also indirectly Hitler. The butterfly effect is a hell of a thing.

Why don't earrings ever ring? They don't even get phones so they can try!
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

They don't want to interfere with the tinnitus, it's got the monopoly already.

I saw this one on Pinterest and am still thinking about it, so, discuss: Are oranges named oranges because oranges are orange or is orange called orange because oranges are orange?

Tusky

That's a good one... I for one think it must be named after orange, not orange.

Actually no I changed my mind definitely orange.

I need a new auger, but thinking I can probably make do with a trained mole. Which is best?
<< Signature redacted >>

The Seamstress

I think the mole should be fine, just make sure you don't accidentally get a BRAIN MOLE.

Who invented popcorn?

Jubal

Grandpop corn and Granma Corn

Why can't I smell sunlight?
The duke, the wanderer, the philosopher, the mariner, the warrior, the strategist, the storyteller, the wizard, the wayfarer...

The Seamstress

Why are sweet foods mostly unhealthy foods? Nature has failed me.
