Friday Morning

Some interesting questions today.

B: Mr B, who was the first person to wear clothes?
MB: Er, I don't think I've ever had to find that out.
B: Did he wear clothes because he had something to hide?
MB: Er, possibly. If you believe the bible, people started wearing clothes because they suddenly realised they were naked and that it was rude. But perhaps he just had an embarrassingly shaped birthmark.
B: Or a really small penis?
MB: Er, possibly.
B: Thanks. Nice talking to you.

J: Mr B, you know how people sharpen pencils?
MB: Er, yes?
J: Why, when you go to the tip, aren't there massive mountains of pencil shavings?
MB: Er, I think they disperse...

T: Mr B, you know those forests that existed millions of years ago?
MB: Er, yeah?
T: Who planted the seeds?
MB: Er, no-one planted them. They planted themselves.
T: How?
(MB launches into brief, stuttering explanation of primordial soup and the beginnings of life on Earth.)

J: Mr B, why are Fish and Humans the only animals who go to school?
MB: J, do your work.

I can't tell if they're generally behaving (even) more oddly than usual or if it just seems that way as I'm hungover.

Far from it, alas. They have been so interesting I haven't had any time to blog. Damn them.
