Ah, yes, Fort Knox, where some 147.3 million ounces of gold bullion is stored--or is it? New doubts have been raised:
The solution may lie in one of our oldest fairy tales. Take it away, Edward:
Turnips instead of gold? In that case we would need Fort Knox more than ever. After all, turnips are vegetables and as such last much longer in a...
...sealed container.
I can't remember which of our televisions stations showed Fractured Fairy Tales, probably the government broadcaster ABC. I used to enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteFort Knox could well just be an empty edifice. Has anyone walked around it to check?
Andrew, I guess that's what that Trump fellow plans on doing--once he can some time out from shredding the Constitution.
DeleteNever try to defend yourself against a narcissist.
ReplyDeleteThey already know you're right, they just want you to go crazy trying to prove it.
Mike, I don't have to defend but I can poke fun.
DeleteLoved this. So nice to be reminded of Edward Everett Horton and Fractured Fairy Tales. I can’t imagine those stories without him as narrator.
ReplyDeleteHi Kirk, Well, I don't see any guards in either of the pictures you show, lending credence to your theory.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, in the U.S. I don't think I ever ate a turnip (although we did try a rutabaga once), but in Asia, they are very common (in a closely related form--think daikon), and they are delicious in many recipes. Also, in early American cookbooks, I see turnips prepared in many of the same ways they are here.
