Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for September 29, 2013
Transcript:
Mom: Goodnight, Alice. Alice: Not yet! Mom: No, I did the whole Bedtime Ritual. I did the Snuggy Song, the Rock-a-bye Dance, the Big Hugaboo and the Whoopsie Nighty-Night Pratfall. Alice:But wait- Alice: From now on I'd like to close out my Bedtime Ritual with a Topic of the Day, where we discuss some issue of national or personal concern. Mom:Like what? Alice: Why do goats eat tin cans? Beni: She turned out the light? Alice: And she said I watch too many old Tv cartoons. Dill: You just needed a better topic, like "Why do pianos drop out of the clear blue sky?"

I admire Madeline. Firm yet loving. Alice needs to have some limits set by Mom. Dill is either an enabler, a philosopher, or very strange….

And 16-ton weights too, Dill. Also, when a pie gets thrown, it always hits someone in the face(except Tony Curtis); or when an object like a hammer or a coconut accidentally flies through the air, it always lands on someone’s head with a sound like a perfectly tuned bell?Answer: Because it’s funny.

Or why, when people run away from home, they put their belongings in a handkerchief tied to the end of a stick?

I read once where goats like the glue under the labels on the cans. That’s what they eat, not the can. The problem with reading a lot of trivia/obscure fact books is I can often remember stuff like that, but can rarely remember where I read it.
