Points to Ponder #13:
- How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
- Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
- Why do doctors leave the room while you undress for a physical exam when they're going to see you naked anyway?
- Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?
- If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a stupid song about him?
- The sum of the intelligence on the planet is a constant; the population is growing.
- How long a minute is depends upon which side of the bathroom door you are on.
- The one who snores always falls asleep first.
- Embrace every hard-earned facial line and wrinkle, for each testifies to having lived a rich emotional existence.
- Say and do as you wish with one exception – do not complain about aging for it confers stature and wisdom.

As to Jimmy cracks corn--This would have been a song that the field hands (read slaves) sang as they worked--the rhythm aided in the repetitive motion. It's not so much about Jimmy--it is the fact that "the master" is gone away!! So, they get a little break.
