Answer a QUESTION with a QUESTION

[Grondhammar]

What is a scent except a collection of chemicals?

 

[TBRS1]

Interesting... don't most people call that a chemistry set?

 

[Grondhammar]

Could one call Jello a chemistry set?

 

[Yeshuasdaughter]

Can we just call it tasty?

 

[AuAL]

Are all chemistry sets tasty?

 

[TBRS1]

Is that kind of thinking the reason chemistry sets aren't as common as they once were?

 

[Grondhammar]

Are they not so common because people keep eating them?

 

[TBRS1]

Isn't that why nobody finds peanut butter cups in their wild habitat any more?

 

[Grondhammar]

Once upon a time, did peanut butter cups grow on bushes, or trees? Or were they a root crop?

 

[TBRS1]

If they had prehensile tails and were silently nocturnal, couldn't they lurk in the leafy canopy unnoticed for years?

 

[Grondhammar]

Wouldn't they get stale doing that?

 

[TBRS1]

Is "stale" a derogatory term for "living to an old age"?

 

[Rodafina]

Is that what you call year old crackers in the cupboard?

 

[TBRS1]

Why would I call old crackers if they are happy lurking in a cupboard?

 

[Grondhammar]

What kinds of crackers can attain a level of equanimity that allows them to lurk happily?

 

[TBRS1]

If all sentient beings are capable of enlightenment, and crackers are sentient beings, then are crackers not capable of attaining enlightenment?

 

[Grondhammar]

Indeed they are, but the real question is, why isn't this stated on cracker boxes?

 

[Yeshuasdaughter]

Why would you want HOA fees and Mello Roos tax rates printed on the sides of track homes built out of stuccoed cracker board?

 

[TBRS1]

Wouldn't printed tax rates bore everybody, including stuccoed crackers?

 

[Grondhammar]

Did they pass a law to make stucco food-safe in California?
