• Every once in a while my brain runs on numerous tangents and I'm left pondering everything I think.  So, when this occurs I just make up my own explanations.  This is my first installment of such thoughts and what may become numerous.  Without further ado:

  
  

  JEN'S THEORIES ON WILD THOUGHTS

  
  

  TOOTHPICK:  I believe the toothpick was invented by some redneck that every time he ate his lunch while hunting would cut off a piece of bark and get food from his cavity filled teeth out.  Then, one day he had his buddy with him and showed him this and then word of mouth caught on and thus, many of trees now die for our teeth.

  
  

  CAMERA: Someone said to another person that they wish they had a way to capture the moments of their life, but couldn't draw.  So, this idea caught on until a really smart person discovered a way to put people's images on paper.

  
  

  SILVERWARE: People got tired with eating with their hands and sipping out of bowls. So, they all got together at an assembly and discussed what could be done about it.  One of them spoke up and said how it was too bad that they couldn't make a tiny pitchfork and another said the same about a blade, and finally a woman spoke up and said the same about a small bowl with a handle attached.  Then they made silverware.

  
  

  ALARM CLOCK: A man who didn't own roosters was upset that he overslept in the morning.  So, he went to a clock maker and asked the clock maker if he could construct a clock that made a chime when it was set to a certain hour.  The clock maker did it, but by then the man had gotten roosters, because he was fed up that it took so long and the clock maker then went to the city and showed some rich people and they liked it and gave him money to make some more.

  
  

  Well that's all for now.  Stay tuned for some more of my wild tangent episodes.

  
  

  God bless and take care,
