Strange But True

A person uses about 57 sheets of toilet paper a day! Holy crap! That sure is a lotta trees There are 58 million dogs living in the U.S. they say But NONE are cuter than our Annie, I believe Men are struck by lightning more times than women Our pointy heads act as a grounding device The original name for the butterfly was 'flutterby' Methinks flutterby was much more nice Smelling green apples can help you lose weight As long as your honker is working well They say smelling bananas can also lose weight But do it in private, people may think you're unwell
Slugs have 4 noses, nosey little buggars are they A sneeze travels out at over 100 miles an hour Imagine the big mess when these dirty slugs let go Surely we'd need to take a shower The elephant is one of the few mammals that can't jump Imagine if the could, buildings would crumble The king of hearts is the only king without a moustache But he certainly has remained quite humble Lipstick contains fish scales, holy cacka and eeeewww Taphephobia is the fear of being buried alive! You probably haven't heard of these very strange facts You need to know them to help you survive It's true, the electric chair was invented by a dentist Now isn't that what we usually think Sitting there while the dentist inflicts much pain Wishing for death as I spit in his sink

Hey Jack, Your poem was a delightful whirlwind of quirky facts! I had no idea about the toilet paper stat (though, I'm definitely questioning the source on that one! LOL). The "pointy head lightning rod" theory made me chuckle, and I'm officially adopting "flutterby" as the superior butterfly name. Plus, who knew about the weight loss power of smelling fruits? It's the kind of stuff that sticks with you and makes you blurt out random facts at unsuspecting dinner guests. Fun! - Blessings, Danie

I'm cracking up with your humor, wit, and rather bizarre information...stuff we all need to know. I, too, like 'flutterby' rather than butterfly. How crazy...a dentist invented the electric chair...EEGADS...something from the Twilight Zone me thinks. Liked that you told all that and rhymed...impressive you are. Well done Jack...and thanks for the smiles this morning. Have a pleasant day, hugs and blessings, Sara
