When dining out, your server will show up to ask how everything is… just moments after you took a big bite of your food… _and nobody knows why!_ When you misplace something, you always find it in the last place you look, _and nobody knows why!_ Every Thanksgiving, my sister offers all dinner guests $5 if they’d drink a pitcher of gravy, _and nobody knows why!_ OK, we know why. My sister is a goof who gets goofier when she drinks… 😉 ---

> [@Velocity](#): > > Intestinal flora gets into a fetuses’ intestines despite the umbilical cord being sterile. 😃 Intestines have nothing to do with the umbilical cord. They aren’t even connected. The umbilical cord is part of the circulatory system which carries blood to the heart and you most certainly do not want that hooked up to your bowels! Babies are born with sterile guts. They only gain intestinal flora from ingesting bacteria once they start bottle /breast feeding. Hence why they get a Vit K shot immediately (gut bacteria normally make Vit K) ---
