Questions are more important than answers, since we can never be quite sure whether any answer is the right answer. Here are some questions to ponder:

.

Can Peeps feel pain? I’m gobbling up (sorry—the chicken joke is already becoming a turkey) several little yellow spongy critters in honor of my secular Easter Day celebration. Yum!

.

Which statement is an exaggeration? 1. I always exaggerate. 2. I never exaggerate. (Any existentialist will smirk at your answer.)

.

Just who is Les Miserables and why did they write a book about him?

.

If your pet dog is named Gingerly, wouldn’t you just hate it each time your neighbors said, “I see Fred is walking Gingerly these days.”?

.

When people say they are getting their affairs in order, isn’t this an incomplete sentence? (What about: “I’m getting my affairs, in order to enjoy myself more.”)

.

If your car’s nickname is Sentimental, wouldn’t you feel self-conscious, waxing Sentimental?

.

Which sounds more menacing? 1. A time capsule  2. A timed capsule

.

How big is ample room?

.

Where did I see this sign posted last Saturday? NO PROBATION OR PAROLE PARKING!

.

Are there times when you can be wishy but not washy?

.

Would a sarcastic old-time golf pro be called Sam Snide?

.

Do you know a literary carpenter called James Joist?

.

Would this be a great name for a string-bikinied exotic dancer? Fanny Floss

.

Would a jaded prima donna be rightfully called Maria Callous?

.

Is it more prestigious to be cited or sighted?

.

Is it high time we re-invented the wheel?

.

Do you think it’s time I placed my brain on hold
