Food Trivia

Kissing may have originated when mothers orally passed chewed solid food to their infants during weaning.

Food Joke

Did you ever notice, when you are sitting at a red light, that when the person in front of you pulls up a couple of inches, you are compelled to move up too? Do we really think we are making progress toward our destination? "Whew, I thought we would be late, but now that I am nine inches closer, I can stop for coffee and a danish!"
