Q: You have a fox, a chicken and a bag of corn. You have to get across a river in a boat that can only hold you and one of the others. You know you can’t leave the fox alone with the chicken, or the chicken alone with the bag of corn. How can you get them all across? A: You start by taking the chicken across the river, leaving it there and returning. Then you discover that the goddamn fox eats corn too. Son of a bitch!! ---

What actually happens is the bag of corn becomes sentient, and eats the fox. Then the corn eats you, too. Then the corn hops on the raft and sails away while whistling Chris Deburgh’s “Don’t Pay the Ferryman”. ---

For years as a teenager, whenever I would post on here, my mother would see “The Straight Dope” on the computer as she walked by, and never said a word. Years later, she told me she thought it was some website about drugs. ---

Reminds me of that old song from Ned Nasal and his Nine Nasty Nose-pickers, “Oh You Booger, You!” It goes like this: When you’re dancing with your honey And your nose is kind of runny, You may think it’s kind of funny. But it’s snot. ---

Ok, this is weird. I enjoy exploring maps, and I was reading about the Beagle, so I am poking around Portsmouth, down by the docks. [and right around here](https://goo.gl/maps/ppVWFEMFXE62), there seems to be a subtle discrepancy between what the map shows and what street view shows, at least when I use the app. ---
