WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOURS GONE?

We stopped at the supermarket to pick up a few essentials. My wife wanted to do some baking but there was this huge empty space on the store’s shelf. I called a clerk over.

“Where have all the flours gone?” I asked.

“I guess we’re all out,” she said.

“How can you be out of flour? Are you sure there’s not some in the storeroom?”

“I’ll go check,” she said, and disappeared.

A few minutes later she reappeared, her store manager in tow.

“I’m afraid we’re all out of flour,” he said. “There were a bunch of young girls in here yesterday, girl scouts, with a big baking project. They picked them all up, loaded their carts, and away they went. They picked them every one.”

“Do you know when you’ll get more in?”

“I’m not sure,” the manager told me. “Likely a long time passing.”

“Well, we’ll just have to go to another store,” I said to my wife.

We thanked the manager and clerk and headed toward the door.

“When will they ever learn?” my wife muttered in disgust. “When will they ever learn?”

Hello HenryM.
A very pertinent observation on remembrance Sunday.

When once those young girl’s money’s spent
Home to their husbands they then went,
But husbands oft went off to war
So, nothing’s like it was before.

When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn?

Best wishes

Bill

My teachers used to say there are no dumb questions... just dumb people for not asking them.

Well... I'd rather look stupid but understand than look smart and be clueless... so I don't get it. Can someone please explain what you guys mean?

Thanks,

Bob

Well, Bob, you apparently are not familiar with the song from the Sixties "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" by Peter, Paul & Mary.  I'm just riffing off that.

Ahhhh.......I was overthinking it (again)! I checked the song lyrics and now I get it.

But who are Peter, Mary, and Paul???

Just kidding!

Thanks, Henry
