In response to last week’s questions, “If prunes are dried plums, how can there possibly be prune juice?,” my sailing friend Kate explained, “That's why I never drink prune juice. It is odd and, well, why drink a suspicious juice when there are other straight-forward awesome tasting juices?” My neighbor Dick added that “Nobody drinks plum juice either...plum wine is a different story.”
My dad’s beach buddy Bob noted that “Prunes are not usually served in their dried state. However, if one consumes the dried variety, they have a way of loosening things up to flow freely.”
The question left my colleague Effie a bit uneasy, as she wrote, “Old people are often referred to as “pruny” so maybe it’s made of squeezed old people. Hmmm, too much Soylent Green! ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soylent_Green)
Please share your thoughts about "things that make you go 'Hmmm' ":
