Dear SDSAB,
I must know why the replier was listed as “Eutychus,” since it is obvious that no one these days has that name. I am moderately familiar with the story in Saint Paul, but also with a story in the Latin textbook I teach from. I cannot deduce any connection to olives from either. And in case someone actually IS named Eutychus, please accept my simpering apologies.
It’s his username from the message board. The Señor-Rhetor, meet Eutychus.
Hiya!
Which staff report is under discussion??
Why are you named Eutychus?!
(:))
Coming to a Straight Dope Homepage near you on Tuesday next:
Why is it that green olives come in glass jars but black olives come in cans?.
Why not? 
I thought you were dead!
No, but somebody should work on correcting that. The pun at the end of that column should be a capital crime.
I just looked at it. I’m with you. Start a fund, I’ll put some money in it.
shudders
I’ll correct it.
As the enquiry comes from Olive Newton John, the pun should in fact read:
‘And that’s, olive, what I know’.
I got better.
I thought it was for tax purposes.
Good idea.
TAX PORPOISES!
Hmm… can you process hotblack olives in jars?
I find it funny that the OP questions Euty’s name, but not Olive Newton John…
Round here, black olives do come in jars. I’ve never bought them in a can.
And in Spain, both come in cans. It’s just Tradition, I imagine…
Were you a newt, then?
He fell out of a window.
