It's almost 2020, I am getting close to 70 years old and I still have so many unanswered questions!!

[Heartstrings]

I haven’t found out who let the dogs out...where’s the beef...how to get to Sesame Street... why Dora doesn’t just use Google Maps...Why do all flavors of fruit loops taste exactly the same, or how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop......why eggs are packaged in a flimsy carton, but batteries are secured in plastic that’s tough as nails...what does the fox say... why “abbreviated” is such a long word; or why is there a D in ‘fridge’ but not in refrigerator... why lemon juice is made with artificial flavor yet dish-washing liquid is made with real lemons... why they sterilize the needle for lethal injections... and, why do you have to “put your two cents in” but it’s only a “penny for your thoughts” where’s that extra penny going, why does The Alphabet Song and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star have the same tune... why did you just try to sing those two previous songs... and just what exactly is Victoria’s secret? and where is Waldo?... Can you hear me now?...and do you really think I am this witty?? ... I actually got this from a friend, who stole it from her brother’s girlfriend’s uncle’s cousin who lived next door to an old class mate’s mailman...
Love y'all! Happy New Years 🎉🍾🎊🍾🎉🥂🎉🍾🎊🍾🎉

1. You could use another shot of Four roses !!

why eggs are packaged in a flimsy carton, but batteries are secured in plastic that’s tough as nails...

2. Why do you park in a driveway and

drive on a parkway?

3. There is one great question to answer them all

Who put the Bop in the Bop Sho Bop?

4. I've been blamed, but I assure you it wasn't me

who threw the overalls in Mrs. Murphy’s chowder.

5. I am 70 and I've learned that as far as questions go it's important to decide which ones really

need answering. That helps cut the list down quite a bit!

6. HNY to you too...

someone (my wife) had the temerity to inform me yesterday that the 70's were 50 years ago. That, is a sobering moment when one realize that.

8. Well, I wasn't around then so it doesn't hurt quite so much

9. There have been some scientific studies on the tootsie pop question.

I copied this information from the tootsie roll website.

https://tootsie.com/howmanylick-experiments

At least three detailed scientific studies have attempted to determine the number of licks required to reach the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop.

Purdue University

A group of engineering students from Purdue University reported that its licking machine, modeled after a human tongue, took an average of 364 licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop. Twenty of the group's volunteers assumed the licking challenge-unassisted by machinery-and averaged 252 licks each to the center.

University of Michigan

Not to be outdone by a Big Ten rival, a chemical engineering doctorate student from the University of Michigan recorded that his customized licking machine required 411 licks to reach the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop. (411-364. Go Blue!)

Swarthmore Junior High School

Rejecting the notion that one needed active college status to undertake the Tootsie Pop licking challenge, a group of junior high students at Swarthmore School used human lickers, reporting an average of 144 licks to reach the center of a Tootsie Pop.

Based on the wide range of results from these scientific studies, it is clear that the world may never know how many licks it really takes to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop.

10. Here is why the stores are named Victoria Secret.

Victoria Secret was named after the Queen because founder Ray Raymond imagined the stores looking like Victorian-era boudoirs, and wanted to evoke the sense of Victorian sophistication and propriety, while eluding to the ‘secret’ underneath the clothes.
