I'm Glad I Didn't Think of This Until After Breakfast

According to someone's online Twitter post (so no idea if it's accurate), "A bill was proposed in 1910 to release hippos into the Louisiana bayous as a way to clear out invasive river plants and solve a critical meat shortage. It was backed by former President Roosevelt & The New York Times, which praised hippo meat as tasting like 'lake cow bacon.'"

Which begs the obvious question:  If lake cow bacon is made of lake cows, what is Canadian bacon made of?

I Just Can't See Myself Going Back There

Today's mail brought an envelope from the last place I bought eyeglasses.  It was addressed, "To The Parents of Cap'n Chlorophyll".  Can the Postal Service forward mail to the afterlife?

Inside, the sales letter started, "Dear Cap'n," so at least they got that right.

At the very bottom was the sentence, "Important details about this offer on the other side."  You guessed it:  the other side was blank.  Dang, my eyesight went quickly!
