An old joke in this vein went something like (loosely paraphrased) Why are fire engines red? Roses are red too. Two and Two is four. Four and eight is twelve. There are twelve inches in a ruler. Queen Mary was a ruler. Queen mary was also a ship. Ships sail in the sea. \< This part is vague…I’m getting senile \> See the newspaper? Newspapers are read. Russians are red too, and everyone know’s fire engines are always rushin’. And that’s why fire engines are red. ---
