Answer a Question with a Question...

[Tish]

What about Raspberry?

 

[Kaila]

All those tiny seeds don't bother you?

 

[Patch]

If I swallow those "tiny pancake seeds" and they sprout in my stomach could that make this 75 year old belly "flat as a pancake"??

 

[Lavinia]

When you were a child, were you warned not to swallow any pips or else you would have leaves sprouting out of your ears?

 

[mike4lorie]

did you have things growing in your ears?

 

[Patch]

Don't all of us old men have hair growing in our ears... and other places it's not supposed to grow??

 

[Kaila]

Have you ever had gardens which grew wonderful plants, that you hadn't planted there?

 

[Tish]

What do you consider wonderful?

 

[Patch]

So, is someone suggesting that hair growing out of the ears and noses of old men is nothing but "wonderful plants"??

(Think I better refrain until we work ourselves to a different topic!) :>)

 

[Owlivia]

Isn't that question better directed to a vegetarian forum?

 

[Patch]

If a person had some "wonderful plants" growing our to their ears, would those plants be vegetables, fruits, grains, flowers, or what???

 

[Kaila]

Could you look out a window, and tell me what plants are growing outdoors?

 

[Patch]

Since it's pitch dark, here, how would I see what's growing outside?

 

[Kaila]

Would you look outdoors, tomorrow, and report back?

 

[Tish]

Don't you know that I live in the future?

 

[Kaila]

Does that mean that this is the future, or is this now the past?

 

[Patch]

Isn't this yesterday's future, today's present, and tomorrow's past??

 

[Kaila]

Is it the same, in all time zones of SF members?

 

[Patch]

If someone is eating breakfast while someone in another time zone is retiring for the night, aren't both in "their" present state??

 

[Kaila]

But wouldn't the USA East coast, seem like yesterday,
to anyone living in Europe?

 

[Patch]

When someone in Australia is ringing in 2024 at 12:01 a.m. on January 1st while I am just preparing to eat lunch on December 31, 2022... and we are visiting with each other on our cell phones... aren't we both living in the present?

 

[Kaila]

Is that a scientific, or a philosophical, or a rhetorical question?

 

[Lavinia]

Can I have time to consider that before I answer?

 

[Owlivia]

Are you sure that wasn't your answer?

 

[Kaila]

If so, which question would it be the answer, to?
